Timothy Bottoms from "That's My Bush!" is Bush in Showtime movie
This makes me sad. I hadn't heard.

Timothy Bottoms plays it straight in this Bush portrayal
By BRIDGET BYRNE
The Associated Press

This time he did it without the false ears.

Timothy Bottoms, who played George W. Bush in Comedy Central's sitcom parody "That's My Bush!" is again portraying the president. But now it's serious.

Bottoms has the lead role in "DC 9/11: Time of Crisis," the Showtime docudrama that explores how Bush and his White House staff reacted to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

1. Misleading headline if I ever saw one
from all I've heard, "playing straight" are not words to be kindly associated with this film.

3. I believe he also played Bush in the Crocodile Hunter movie
The only thing worse than being typecast, is being typecast as a complete douchebag.

4. Hate to wish anyone out of work, BUT
(except for Smirk, of course!), I hope Bottoms never works again.

There are some things I just wouldn't do--and I'm a LAWYER!!
