Bush has ‘no plans’ to see Oliver Stone’s ‘W.’
White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore told the Los Angeles Times today that President Bush has “no plans” to see Oliver Stone’s upcoming biopic “W.” Lawrimore took the opportunity to pre-emptively attack Stone’s credibility, saying that “Oliver Stone is an accurate historian like Gilligan was an accurate navigator.” Watch the trailer:

Duh.
He lives it…
August 20th, 2008 at 11:05 pmwho does, the 8 people who watched redacted on bootleg?
August 20th, 2008 at 11:07 pmHe’ll have his cabinet advisors and department heads watch it and give him reports, only those reports will have negative parts re-written to be glowing. Then Bush will talk about the film hailing him as a savior. When it all goes wrong, he’ll blame it on his advisors’ faulty intelligence. Hey, everyone bought it the first time …
August 20th, 2008 at 11:12 pmCurious George doesn’t need a second opinion, thank you very much. His failures are for little people.
August 20th, 2008 at 11:13 pmWhite House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore told the Los Angeles Times today that President Bush has “no plans” to see Oliver Stone’s upcoming biopic “W.”
Finally, something that the President and the vast majority of the public agree on!
August 20th, 2008 at 11:15 pmKeltoi,
I can agree with that. Who would want to watch that?
August 20th, 2008 at 11:21 pmI think he is just miffed about that pretzel scene. You know how he gets when he feels like he is being treated like a little boy…
August 20th, 2008 at 11:24 pmActually, Zooey, maybe he’s reliving it someone posted some candid snaps from the Potus’s visit to Beijing.
I’m no expert on Photoshop fakes and I thought the Security Service cleaners were more thorough, but make up your own mind.

P.S. Is your handle in honor of the J.D. Salinger novel? The Glass family is a favorite of mine even though I nevered choked on a cherrystone clam.
August 20th, 2008 at 11:35 pmBush cites Gilligan. How appropo.
August 20th, 2008 at 11:37 pmWhite House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore told the Los Angeles Times today that President Bush has “no plans…”
There, that’s better.
PEACE
August 20th, 2008 at 11:45 pmWhat’s he going to do, READ the script … snort …

Ugh, no kidding. The frat boy lives. We had a couple caption contests at The Zoo for Boy Kind Olympic pics.
Actually, “Zooey” is a shortened version of “Zookeeper,” given to me by a friend.
August 20th, 2008 at 11:46 pmAnd Gilligan was an accurate navigator like Bush is a competent president.
August 20th, 2008 at 11:46 pmWith only a two man crew and five passngers, I suspect that the captian would handle navigation. Gilligan would have already had his hands full looking after the passengers, monitoring the decks, handling lines and much more. Why do they always blame shit on the mates?
August 20th, 2008 at 11:50 pmBecause db it’s the Republican way to blame the little guy.

OMG, that pic doesn’t look fake to me, either. It would be interesting to see if anyone else has pics with Bush (aka Frat Boy Gone Wild) in that same shirt with the same people in the same clothes around him.
I can just hear him: “I’ll see your lame duck, and raise you a Wild Turkey… hic…”
PEACE
August 20th, 2008 at 11:54 pm“Oliver Stone is an accurate historian like Gilligan was an accurate navigator.”
Actually, the Skipper was the navigator of the doomed HS Minnow. But don’t let syndicated reality get in the way of your imaginary straw men!
August 20th, 2008 at 11:54 pmdbadass- because in the Repuglican world, Captains don’t go down with the ship?
August 20th, 2008 at 11:55 pmI have always had a hard time calling any captain I have known “skipper” just because of this show. Now does anyone remember why Martanne was onboard? Was she like the professor’s grad student or something?
August 20th, 2008 at 11:59 pmI know that conservatives have a difficult time distinguishing between dramatic narrative and reality, but I suspect Oliver Stone is a talented enough filmmaker to know that historical accuracy doesn’t make entertaining movies. I doubt if he’s really trying to be an “accurate historian”.
Still, Keltoi has it about right. Who wants to sit in a theater and spend two-and-a-half hours in the company of that man? Bushbots are already convinced it’s a hatchet job, and everyone else is sick of the dude.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:03 amIf this movie was historically accurate Oliver Stone would get himself “renditioned”.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:09 amNo matter how bad it is, it’s still too complimentary to W. What would do this guy justice, can’t be put in films shown to the public.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:11 am“Oliver Stone is an accurate historian like Gilligan was an accurate navigator.”
Should have been “George Bush is a good president like fecal matter is good toothpaste.”
August 21st, 2008 at 12:16 amJohn McCain loves his killing machines
August 21st, 2008 at 12:16 amCoincidently enough…neither do I.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:40 amWhat’s really scary is that we have had a President for the last eight years who doesn’t need or want to know the truth. See the movie, heck, he doesn’t even read newspapers and probably still doesn’t know much about the ‘internets’.
August 21st, 2008 at 3:12 amSorry, don’t mean to be “O/T” but the morning thread comes too morning for me…
Conyers issues some stern letters. His request to “please respond as soon as possible” is laughable… AT BEST!

August 21st, 2008 at 3:14 amThe idiot and his Zionist droogs cronies are planning a blockade against Iran followed by war!
August 21st, 2008 at 3:21 amVictor Ashe was “Bulldog” before Jeff Gannon-Guckert stole his role.
August 21st, 2008 at 3:27 amI heard W and Colin Powell got arrested in a bar fight and MI:II hottie Thandie Newton is Condi Rice.
August 21st, 2008 at 3:45 amThe surge is in danger of failure:

The story mentions a Nov. 1 deadline for Sunni disarmament, which seems timed just right to throw the US elections into turmoil.
Is this the October surprise? Have the deliberations between US officials and the Iraqi government been about securing a republican victory in November? Is this a repeat of Reagan’s Iranian hostage perfidy?
August 21st, 2008 at 4:08 amAll these years I thought the Minnow was stranded on an isle because of a storm.
Gillian is like a poopdeck cleaner or something.
August 21st, 2008 at 5:00 amThis would make more sense if it was a book and not a movie. It would make even more sense if it was a cartoon and not a movie. Imagine that, a cartoon character watching a cartoon of himself.

Geez, thanks Max. Conyers has “become very concerned…” What a crock! We The People have been far more than concerned for years!
Can you imagine how these letters would read if the roles were reversed? What am I saying? There wouldn’t have been “letters” there would have been immediate investigations.
The tone of these letters would be more appropriate for questioning the quality of the most recent delivery of ballpoint pens from an office supplier, not actions that, if true, are no less than criminal actions and treason that have resulted in the deaths of millions of people and the waste of trillions of dollars.
Perhaps I should write a strongly worded letter telling Congressman Conyers that I am “disappointed in his behavior”.

Yeah, but people will want to see that because it will cronicle major positive changes in our country and the world.
August 21st, 2008 at 8:41 amThe last thing the smirking chimp wants it to see a representation of his life during his blackout, alcoholic/cocaine addicted youth, when daddy was constantly bailing him out from business failures, drunk driving arrests, and the like.
Especially cuz he is not sober now!
August 21st, 2008 at 8:46 amWell, much happier than now.
August 21st, 2008 at 8:51 amI wonder if he is planning an “M” in the likely event that golly’s head explodes on November 4. McMetal can tell you what that stands for.
August 21st, 2008 at 8:52 amWhat’s the matter gg, don’t want to talk about bush’s cocain and alcolhol problems?
The thread is about the movie W. Please stay on topic.
Do you think bush is still drinking?
August 21st, 2008 at 9:10 amNo one knows better than President Dinkledorf what a complete disaster his life and presidency have been!
August 21st, 2008 at 9:51 amThe movie should be called:
August 21st, 2008 at 10:23 am“Precedent Dinkledoofus”
Ofa course bushbaby isn’t going to watch a movie, he doesn’t have the attentions span to view a two hour movie.
August 21st, 2008 at 11:11 amtony and lido
Bus is a COWARD.
August 21st, 2008 at 11:13 amI don’t believe White House spokesmen. They probably haven’t even talked to him about it. I believe he’ll watch it and love it. It’s his kinda movie. I can see him now saying, Who’s W? That’s cool, he has a wife named Laura too.
August 21st, 2008 at 11:56 am“Warning! This cinematic presentated has been rated for mature audiences”
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:19 amDoesnt really matter he surely wouldnt understand it if he DID see it
