gwbush.com, created by Zack Exley and RTMark, parodies of the official site of George W. Bush's campaign for United States President in the year 2000. The campaign filed a complaint with Federal regulators. When Bush said of the site, "There ought to be limits to freedom", critics made much of the sound bite.
