New 'W' Poster Puts Brolin in Oval 'Office'
I just saw this new poster for Oliver Stone's W over at FirstShowing, and I couldn't help but notice a startling resemblance to a certain other obliviously-self-confident, stupid boot-clad, reclining idiot-leader.
It got me thinking...
Maybe problem with the current administration isn't so much that Bush is constantly saying stupid things that cause the country great embarrassment, it's just that we don't have a Tim character there to mug for the camera when he does, giving us an executive branch version of The Office.
So what I'm suggesting is this: instead of having an election for president this year, how about we let Bush stay in office and have Obama and McCain run for the part of Tim? Instead of debates, there would be a series of auditions where we see who's better at looking around with disbelieving stare and playing pranks on an increasingly aggravated Dick Cheney. Just imagine how good it would be to see McCain in a will-they-or-won't-they romance with the secretary (of Defense or someone--whoever's mousiest), or Obama preventing a nuclear disaster by sealing the Panic Button in Jell-O. That's the kind of national news report I'd purchase on DVD.
I'm just saying, let's at least try it for a couple seasons.
