The Gunther Concept, who avoids the Blogger permalink problem by not having permalinks enabled at all, has what I think is the proper response to the news that a made for TV movie about 9/11 is going to show Dubya as an articulate action hero. He suggests a cast list which I think is pure genious:
G.W. Bush – Ray Romano
Laura Bush – Rosie O’Donnell
Dick Cheney – William Shatner
Donald Rumsfeld – Rip Torn
Condaleeza Rice – Rosie Perez
Colin Powell – Richard Roundtree
Tom Daschle – Alan Alda
Dennis Hassert – doesn’t matter; no one knows what he looks like anyway
Tom DeLay – Kevin Sorbo
Osama Bin Laden – Nicholas Cage
Ari Fleischer – Verne Troyer
Scroll down to the May 28 entry, entitled “Better Than ‘Showgirls’?” and leave a comment if you have any suggested additions. I’m thinking Will Ferrell as Karen Hughes and Colin Mochrie as Karl Rove.
I would have Ed McMahon play Dick Cheney, Maya Rudolph as Condaleeza Rice, Will Ferrell as Tom Daschle, and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.
