(need help) Reasons NOT to compare W and "Brokeback"
Much like this teacher was wrong to compare Bush to Hitler (which he actually didn't) we should refrain from aligning W with "Brokeback Mountain" although both involve people playing pretend in cowboy hats.

Now mind you I haven't seen the movie yet so I am just throwing these out here. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

In "Brokeback" they protected the flock of sheep on 9/11 Bush clearly didn't do the same.

In "Brokeback" there is contemplative thought and consideration for your fellow man, with W clearly this is not the case.

People like "Brokeback Mountain"

(Although he was nearly as closed-lipped as *.)
