Oscar fun: Let's cast the film "Impeachment!"
My ideal cast:

GWB - Will Ferrell

Cheney - Jack Nicholson

Rove - James Lipton

Scottie McClellan - Wayne Knight

Condi - Dave Chappelle

Fitzpatrick - George Clooney

Chertoff - Steve Buscemi

Abramoff - Boris Badanoff

Scooter Libby - Larry David

Laura Bush - Marcia Cross

Mama Bush - Dame Edna

Papa Bush - Dana Carvey

Lynne Cheney - Jessica Walters

The Twins - Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie


Any other ideas?

1. Jim Guckert as Jeff Gannon.
Not qualified as an actor, you say? Well, he wasn't qualified as a journalist, either.

He may demand "top" billing.

2. Who says that his white house press corps job wasn't acting?

3. Actually, I think they'd all be better as supervillains
Edited on Fri Mar-03-06 12:04 PM by EstimatedProphet
GWB - Ming the Merciless

Cheney - The Penguin

Rove - Brainiac

Scottie McClellan - The Blob

Condi - Quicksand

Rumsfeld - The Riddler

Chertoff - The Trapster

Abramoff - Lex Luthor

Scooter Libby - Two Face

Laura Bush - Jane Doe

Mama Bush - Ma Parker

Papa Bush - Ernst Blofeld

Lynne Cheney - Typhoid Mary

The Twins - Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie. They should stay because they are already supervillains.

Fitzpatrick - Captain America

4. Your casting is hard to improve upon, but...
Anthony Hopkins would make a much better Cheney than Nicholson.

And Carvey could double, playing Poppy AND Laura B*sh.


Hey, now that I think about it, Mama B*sh: Gary Busey

Special cameos in the Supreme Court sequence:
Joe Pesci as Alito & Patrick Warburton as Roberts.

5. David Cross would play the role of Jeff Gannon
It'd be perfect! And not much more of a stretch for him than playing Tobias Funke.
