May 8 2008First Impressions: Josh Brolin as 'W'
The only thing stranger than watching Josh Brolin do a two-hour impression of Will Ferrell doing an impression of George W. Bush (or possibly of an old, nondescript man toiling through a lemon) will be watching Jason Sudeikis doing an impression of Josh Brolin's impression for the SNL parody. Why not just get the guy from Harold and Kumar, and stop pretending the line between impression and acting-tribute is so distinct?
The EW cover that also includes Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush-impression is below the cut.

He doesn't look dumb enough.

Actually, he looks more like Kerry and Heston (RIP) had a baby.

Are they finally making progress on the long-awaited John Laroquette bio-pic?

Really? There is no in Hollywood remotely closer to George W. Bush's age (and appearance)? They're almost 20 years apart. And Elizabeth Banks and Laura Bush are about 30 years apart. And Banks doesn't have those watery googly eyes like Laura either. What the fuck! No Country for Old Men made me kind of like Josh Brolin for the first time, but this looks pretty awful. I fucking hate Oliver Stone!

Will Farrell is a better choice. Bush is a freaking joke to begin with.

I can see it... He's just a little more chiseled and a little less constipated.

If he pulled a Tropic Thunder he'd look like a white-haired Obama.
