Casting Call... THE BUSH PRESIDENCY: THE MOVIE

I was inspired by Yurbud, who set up a great poll for casting an actor to play Bush in a biographical movie depicting his "exploits." So anyway, who ELSE do you think would be in the movie? Here are some of my suggestions...

Karl Rove - John Goodman

Donald Rumsfeld - Paul Newman with a combover

Dick Cheney - Charles Durning - even though he's a little old, after he played Big Pappy O'Daniel in O Brother, Where Art Thou I had to pick him for Uncle Dick. Do a google image search for him -- IMDB doesn't have pics.

Condoleezza Rice - Eartha 'Catwoman' Kitt is too old, unfortunately, but that would kick ass.

And in supporting roles...

Matt Cooper - JASON ALEXANDER!!! Need I say more!??!

Rush Limbaugh - Michael Badalucco, best known as George "Babyface" Nelson, the whiny bank robber from O Brother. (Hey, it's one of my favorite movies.) For a visual, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0045937

Tucker Carlson - James Van Der Beek doing a repeat of his whiny "Dawson's Creek" days, except in a bow tie. See http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004735

Philip Seymour Hersh would be the definitive Karl Rove.

Karl Rove Rutger Hower

George Bush Clyde the Orangatang

Dick Cheney Ed Asner

Sean Hannity That kid who played DJ on Rosanne

Ann Coulter Shannon Tweed

theres some more but the replay of battlestar galactica is starting and am too distracted to think

if Victor Buono were still alive...

seems to be very versatile as the token fat guy.

Kevin Heffernan, better known to most college students as "Farva."

He's the pillsbury dough boy (working the ovens at Auswitz.

to play Barbara Bush. The resemblance is uncanny:






Maybe Poppy Bush went ahead and married J. Edgar, linking the CIA and FBI.

For Ann(Dan)Coulter.




Use Walken's voice.

Phillip Hoffman.

Now I love Phil's work, he's brillant! No one else can pull of a swarmy character like Rove better then Phil could!

He was fantastic in Empire Falls. Actually, I think he got an Emmy nomination.

P.S.H. is brilliant, a great choice. Perhaps they'd need a special filter to remove the light of human soul from his eyes to play Karl, though.

Although I think Washoe might be overqualified for the role.

He's perfect for Rumsfeld!
