1. PeeWee Herman is my choice

Edited on Tue Nov-22-05 08:47 PM by notsodumbhillbilly

I would have chosen Mortimer Snerd, but Mortimer was a lovable dummy. www.snerdville.com/characters.htm

9. Well, if Ted Bundy weren't dead, he would be perfect for the role.

There's a similarity in their faces, believe it or not, when they were younger. The main difference is that Bundy was extremely intelligent.

40. Now there you go - irritating as anything

got anywhere on the backs of other people, no talent and very little intelligence.

Sounds like a match.

After all, she's already portrayed another George on the one-dollar bill.

Georgy in the movie - Howdy Dowdy.

Wooden, dumb as a rock, and operated by unseen people pulling the strings.

30. The movie will be done like Jurassic Park

They'll have to create Bush in a computer, because no actor would be able to play Bush straight.

It'd wind up being like Beetlejuice, which was originally supposed to be a horror film but Michael Keaton wouldn't quit cutting up so they just made it a comedy.

Well, kinda like Beetlejuice, except that although Bush is a joke, the shit he does ain't funny.

44. Too bad Don Adams is unavailable

As GWB has rapidly aged, I thought Don Adams was perfect. Look at the the
"rush for the locked door" incident in China. Classic Agent 86. Oh well.

I think Timothy Bottoms has the range. Yes, he played GWB in the bullshit 9/11 hero movie, but he could also do a pretty good fucked up GWB for the all-out "Final Days" miniseries that will eventually be made.
