Are they doing acid over at Zogby's these days?

[The Backlash Cometh]

1. Bush should be played by George Costanza sans glasses and with

a Texas drawl that sounds stroke induced.

[libhill]

2. How 'bout

Alfred E. Neuman to play Bush? You know, the guy from the cover of Mad Magazine?

[chookie]

4. Good choice

i didn't know why he, and Judy the Chimp, were not on the list.

Ed from Crank Yankers would work well too.

These choices make a lot more sense than the ones Zogby listed to play him.

And KIM BASSINGER or SHARON STONE to play frumpy Laura? LSD is leeching from their water pipes.

[libhill]

3. How 'bout

Alfred E. Neuman to play Bush? You know, the guy from the cover of Mad Magazine?

[Fridays Child]

5. Who played him on that Comedy Central show?

[nuxvomica]

6. 45. Drew Barrymore

To play Bush, I'd choose Steve Martin à la The Jerk with Glenn Close, à la The Stepford Wives, as Laura and Annette Benning as Theresa Heinz Kerry.

[baldguy]

7. Bush should be played by Tom Green

offensive, obscene, and just fucking stupid.

[chookie]

9. That is brilliant casting

I am rethinking my choice of Judy the Chimp, because she would have to be strategically shaved.

Tom Green just needs to put on a suit and a smirk. And some gin blossoms.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

17. I agree. Tom Green would be perfect for the part. n/t

[MissMarple]

8. How about Dan Ackroyd as George, and Kathy Bates as Laura.

It would be a lot of fun! :bounce:

[Arkana]

10. Frank Caliendo and Stephnie Weir, both of MAD TV

to play George and his Stepford honey.

[jdj]

11. damn, Annette Benning would make a great Laura

she is awesome at playing deranged (but functional) women.

[PDittie]

12. I voted for Will Ferrell as Dubya and Sally Field as Laura

Tom Hanks to portray John Kerry and Sela Ward as THK (God she is so hot...Sela, that is.)

...and Will Smith as the celebrity Good Samaritan.

[stanwyck]

13. Will Ferrell as Bush and Dianne Wiest

as Laura. Dianne would get Laura's saccharine smile and sanitized school marm demeanor right. And Ferrell would get Bush's hehehe aging fratboy snarkiness.
But who is going to play Gannon/Guckert? Bruce Willis? He likes to play military types. Or maybe Drew Carey? Kelsey Grammar? Not too many rightwing actors to choose from...and they're not very good. But, hey, they're simpatico with Bush.

[realisticphish]

14. Appearing as GWB: Koko the gorilla

[solinvictus]

15. George Lindsay

The man who played Goober Pyle on "The Andy Griffith Show". But, he's got to be about 80 by now, so he's too old.

[FourStarDemocrat]

16. Bill Murray is the first to come to mind..

I think he would do a fine job in portraying Bush. For Laura, I'd suggest Annette Benning, because she has a good range and has it in her to play a dazed, ditzy, stepford wife.

[GetTheRightVote]

18. What actor would even play *, if they want to keep their fan base atleast

:kick:
