And of course Bush's handlers get to edit the screen play and make the needed changes right ?
When they get done bush will be the great American hero I'm sure!
I doubt there will be little truth in the motives of a silly greedy fucking fool as George effing Bush! But there will be plenty of justification for the crimes he committed and the death and destruction he has reaped upon the world.

How about Hillary Clinton? She's Bush in a pantsuit.

I figured it would have been Toby Keith.

Stone showed how much he could be trusted when he totally whimped-out on portraying the lover relationship between Alexander and Hephaestion. If he couldn't portray this CENTRAL relationship in Alexander the Great's life, he can't be trusted to portray anything truthfully.

If O. Stone is not equipped with top-rated attorneys and prepared to defend himself in the inevitable litigation - if he tries to worm around the truth - this film will suck almost as much as Bush's presidency.

"Who Is The Actor Oliver Stone Has Cast As President Bush?"

- Oliver Stone,
If you want an accurate depiction of George W. just film a chimp branding an AK-47.

How about letting John Gotti's son out of jail for the role??????? It will somehow to be fitting to have a mobster's son playing the title role!

Are there going to be scenes with Bush snorting coke?
Are we going to see all 935 times he lied about Iraq before the war started?
Do we get to see him and Cheney discussing whether they should out Valerie Plame?
How about Bush and Cheney laughing about how much fun it is to watch videos of people being tortured?
Do we get to see him playing the guitar while New Orleans flooded?
I'd really like to see him reading that children's book upside down, and not noticing.
The behing-the-scenes shenanigans to make sure that all of bin Laden's relatives got safely out of the country right after 9/11?
I think I'll just wait for Stone's movie about Hitler to come out. That movie stands a better chance of being historically accureate.

So Oliver Stone has "compassion" for people. Works for me, as long as his compassion extends to the full range of Bush's bizarrely twisted life. I want it allll laid out for everyone to see. If we are talking the full measure of duplicity, stubbornness, self delusion and arrogance.­..then sign me up!!

I think Mitt Romney show play Bush, 'cause he is going to have some time on his hands after the election. And he has the soul of a game show host... so close enough.

If he doesn't want it, how about Vincent D'Onofrio? He was convincingly dim in "Full Metal Jacket".

Even, Tom Hanks he's played stupid, "The Decider is as the Decider does." I guess anyone can do it.

[longislandlol]

I may be wrong on this one-- but didn't Joh Brolin's dad Jim, play Nixon?

[dolphy]

Peewee? Oh, he may be rejected for being too smart.

[ceasenake]

It's not gonna be Heath Ledger.

[shanghaislim]

God?

(GWB's personal choice to play him)

Personally, I think only Will Ferrell could pull off the utter idiocy required of the role.
