Gary the Rat

Brian is a conservative-leaning newspaper columnist who voted for George W. Bush over Al Gore, enjoys the single life over married life, and isn't afraid to voice his opinions, even when it means not having sex with politically liberal hot women. His friends include house-husband Craig Tindle, who is "whipped" by his neoconservative Korean wife, Hu, and teacher Jimmy Townhouse, a moderate Democrat who tries to bring his Republican friend off his high horse. Brian and his friends spend their time drinking at a local bar and commenting on the week's events as they unfold via TV news as they're served drinks by attractive Latina bartender Sami Ruiz, who Brian wouldn't mind sleeping with if she didn't support Ralph Nader. The series finds the group encountering caricatures of known figures like Wayne Brady, who is running for president, a drunken Ted Kennedy, and George W. Bush.
