Iraq2003 is an X Presidents episode on Saturday Night Live s TV Funhouse . It originally aired March 18, 2003. Tom Kenny guest starred as the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants character SpongeBob SquarePants and Jeff Bergman voiced Bugs Bunny . Plot summary In the headquarters of the X Presidents, Ronald Reagan grows increasingly impatient with George W. Bush s failure to get enough approval to Iraq war invade Iraq . He then decides that this is due to the lack of propaganda cartoons in the present. After presenting the team with two cartoons the latter of which he claims was the reason for the U.S. victory in the Grenada invasion , George H. W. Bush decides that they should make their own cartoon about Iraq. The team hires SpongeBob SquarePants for the cartoon, but SpongeBob is uncomfortable making it, believing the acts they want him to perform such as soaking up all of the urine in America and squeezing it into Saddam Hussein s mouth are racist against the Iraqi people. Reagan is angered by SpongeBob s unwillingness to cooperate, and threatens that if he refuses, he could have The Katzenjammer Kids take his place. This fails to change anything, and SpongeBob leaves, at which point Bill Clinton shows up with Yasmine Bleeth , and asks if they want to use her in the cartoon.
