Apr 8 2008'W' Administration Isn't Based on Professional Sports Schedules?

Apparently the Bush film that casts Josh Brolin as the president and Elizabeth Banks as Laura might not be entirely accurate? The Hollywood Reporter has sent a copy of Oliver Stone's W script to four notable Bush biographers to get their comments, and they've had some mixed reactions. Notably, Dead Certain author Robert Draper criticized the screenplay, saying, "It leaves you with the impression that the White House is run as a fraternity house with no reverence for hierarchy, the office itself or for the implications of policy ... This notion that his schedule is driven by what's on ESPN is ludicrous." Apparently that notion completely neglects the ESPN 2 schedule, since Bush will never enter a meeting until the Atlas Ball competition has determined the World's Strongest Man.
