12. Well, so does a box of rocks.
This guy tried out and they said he looked too smart too.



No way can they cast someone to look this stupid

18. Nah....I think he meant David Huddleston
Good character actor....also appeared as Olson Johnson in Blazing Saddles




although...after watching "Iron Man", I think Jeff Bridges would be able to pull off Darth Cheney

7. You guys know Bush isn't actually an idiot right?
Edited on Fri May-09-08 12:41 PM by galaxy21
He fumbles his words and is the least competent president ever...but he's not DUMB.

9. No, he just has a low IQ.
I should replace "intelligence" with "human qualities".

11. I think his IQ is probably in the 120s
Good for an average person, but not nearly as high as you'd want in a president.

22. -- Insert your own joke here --

his mother will be played by Ellen Burstyn.

She also played the mother of the Satan posessed child in The Exorcist.

41. Wow. Wonder how they're going to do that.
I always thought Ellen Burstyn was attractive. Babs...is not.

There are some good male character actors that could pull that off. Two come to mind right away, they're in a lot of movies, but I don't know their names.

31. I was always skeptical of pure evile exisitng in the world...
...even after Hitler, Manson, Wallace and Nixon. Now I totally believe in it and I don't understand why people can't see through it. Just like a cat, my hair rose when I first became aware of the Chimp.

32. Yeah, but can he smirk?
Brolin looks too serious and full of gravitas. Can he play the smirking frat boy giggling at his ability to give everyone a nickname?

I don't think I could take such a movie seriously, no matter how bashy it is.

35. The problem is who they cast as the tokens...
This is who they're going to play "Condi":



That is Thandie Newton, and this is who they're going to have play "Colon":



That's Jeffery Wright as Martin Luther King (with Carmen Ejogo as Corretta from Boycott)

36. I miss Dana Carvey and Will Ferrell
as Pappy Bush and Dumbya...I am sure Josh will do a great job. His father as Reagan, was great. Almost creepy, if you know what I mean.

40. Laura will be played by Elizabeth Banks ...
Edited on Fri May-09-08 09:33 PM by auntAgonist


Josh Brolin will play President George W. Bush and Elizabeth Banks will star as Laura — there is one major character still in search of an actor: a heavy named Dick Cheney.
