Let's do the Casting for the Movie about bush's downfall

[mopaul]

you know someday soon, they will make a major production movie about dubya and his rise and fall and disgrace. who will play the principle parts?

the hardest to cast would be dubya himself. that comedian on the tonight show is excellent, and looks like him, but i doubt he has the proper drama chops.

whoever plays him, has to have a wide range of emotions. drunkeness, drug crazed, giddy, stupid, enraged, awkward, and an asshole all at once. and the vast array of w facial expressions has to be done to a T.

halle berry for condi rice!

1. Tom Hanks for the role of the chimp.

He played Forest Gump he can play Bush.

[No Mandate Here.]

2. Anyone who plays * will be at a disadvantage,

There won't be many examples of live question and answers to learn from.

"I'll come up with an answer soon. It's tough under the pressure of a news conference."

This will be looked upon as the beginning of the wake up call for a lot of Murikans.

7. Playing Bush shouldn't be too hard.

After all what is Bush? He's a cross between Forest Gump and Hanibal Lecter.

Richard Dreyfuss as Richard Clarke. Jason Schwartzman as Ari Fleischer
John Spencer(Leo on the west wing) as Rumsfeld, Joe Montegna as George Tenet.

stepinfetchit......crack me up

[punpirate]

11. I'm missing something...

... never saw "Jurassic Park."

Yeah, Lugosi's dead... perfect match....

Richard Perle: Anthony Hopkins (with the right make-up)

Dennis Hastert: Orson Welles (well, the tubby, elderly Orson Welles)

Tom DeLay: Jack Nicholson

Bill Frist: Anthony Perkins

Orrin Hatch: Howdy Doody

[progdonkey]

16. excellent!

Yes, Wayne Knight aka "Newman" as Karl Rove. "Hello... Rove."

Unfortunately, he's lost about 100 pounds since then; as I remember, it was without that gastric bypass stuff to boot. So, at his Jurassic Park size, he would have been perfect, but he's too athletic now.

[peekaloo]

17. that's great!

Prosky as Bar.....LOL!

I'd have Rove be played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman (wouldn't have to budget the cream puffs!).....and include shades of his role in 'Happiness'....}(

Bill Murray as Rumsfeld!

9. Who'll write the screenplay?

An important consideration. This whole episode has been so bad, we have to make sure the younger generation *really* "gets it", and learns a life-long lesson about tending to the important business of our nation to prevent more occurances of this. Who can write such a compelling drama?

Ok, but no pressure........ :)

... this is definitely Mamet or David Lynch material. Yeah, David Lynch....
