Other characters include Dick Cheney as a grumpy figure sitting in a rocking chair with a shotgun (a reference to the Dick Cheney hunting incident, and Osama bin Laden as a scurrying mouse, parodying the Bush administration’s failure to capture him. Unlike the original book, which proceeds from 7pm to 8:10pm, the clock on the nightstand is stuck at (September 11 attacks|9:11), with the three bears in chairs replaced by “war profiteers giving three cheers”.The book was well-received on its release, with reviewers commenting not only on its humor but also on its close resemblance to Goodnight Moon in terms of illustrations, rhyming scheme, and even its smell, which was due to the reuse of the original ink and paper. However, many reviewers also pointed to the dark content of the book, which ends with the U.S. Constitution in tatters and full of crayoned redactions, a scale balancing church and state leaning wholly towards “church”, and a final goodnight to “failures everywhere”.- the content below is remote from Wikipedia
