Bush Scandals: The MoviePosted on Mar 21, 2007
Conan O’Brien casts his picks for the Hollywood version of Plame-U.S. Attorneys-Iraq-gate. With news that Warner Bros. plans to make the Valerie Plame Wilson story, this comedy routine feels somewhat prescient, although we seriously doubt Jabba the Hutt would agree to play Karl Rove. Watch it:

No way I’d every go to any Bush related movie, in fact I hope I never hear that name again.

[Here is a similar commentary I wrote last year only with some of the same principals as cartoon characters.]
THATS AWFUL, FOLKS!
Or, Why Are the Neocons Acting Like Characters in a Warner Brothers Cartoon?
By: Chuck Hillestad
Ever noticed how much the White House luminaries act like Chuck Jones or Tex Avery cartoon film characters . . . only nastier? Take bald headed, shotgun toting VP Cheney. He is surely ELMER FUDD, but with expletives inserted rather than deleted. Strategist Karl Rove, so large of mouth so full of teeth, could give the TASMANIAN DEVIL lessons in rapaciousness.
If (now thankfully former) “Ambassador” Boulton and his UN sized mustache was not Yosemite Sam, then he must be at least his offspring. Meanwhile skulking at the Pentagonal Building, Rumsfeld, who is also now thankfully a former official, was Secretary of Defense (Secretary of Offense? or, perhaps Secretary of Awful Defense?), an obvious reincarnation of WILE E. COYOTE. The self proclaimed genius plan maker may be gone, but sadly, our boys in camo are apparently is still being supplied exclusively by acme Manufacturing Company, no doubt a wholly owned subsidiary of Halliburton.
Cheering them on is HENRY, the minuscule CHICKEN HAWK, who could be played by any of the draft dodging, but war mongering, minuscule pundits on Fox News. Loud mouthed pipsqueaks by any measure.
The good name of DAFFY DUCK is being besmirched today by Preacher Pat Robertson. If Daffy had been holding a bible in the Oscar winning “Rabbit Season” cartoon when he kept yelling “Shoot the Duck,” it would have been an even more perfect impersonation. Crazy is as crazy does.
FOGHORN LEGHORN? Why, thats pompous (now thankfully former) Senator DeLay of course (whose new moniker probably should be “The Chiseler” rather than “The Hammer”). He even uses some of the same “fowl” play on opponents.
Indicted “undisclosed informant” Libby could be FROGGY from “One Froggy Night” who only sings when the public is not around to hear.
Dedicated Warner Brothers aficionados will easily recognize Attorney General Gonzales as Gossamer, the dungeon loving hairy beast haunting Getmo and other places of rendition. Boy, do we wish he was the now former AG instead of still filling our dungeons.
FEMA failure Brown (thankfully a former foul up too) did a heck-of-a-job while in charge by managing to move even slower than BEAKY BUZZARD. Yup, yup.
And seriously, are we sure Secretary of State and former National Security Advisor Rice isn’t really MARVIN THE MARTIAN in drag, still out to destroy Earth “cause it’s in the way.”
Hanging around the edge of the set and the closest to a cartoon “hero” (now that he is no longer acting the Pepe - grab anything female that moves - LEPEW role) is former President Clinton. He still reeks a little though.
Bush? He’s just fat cat SYLVESTER, although much smaller of stature, not nearly as smart and surprisingly less articulate than Sylvester. He’s never going to catch Tweety, let alone Osama.
Sadly, since neither BUGS or even the ROAD RUNNER are anywhere in sight to save the day, I guess we’ll have to wait years more to hear the much needed words, “That’s All, Folks!”
