Maybe this isn’t precisely how George W. Bush played his cards the first time he met his wife, Laura, or maybe it is, but it’s how director Oliver Stone has recreated the mating dance of the would-be president and his future bride in this scene from Stone’s upcoming film, “W”—and we do declare that Josh Brolin’s swagger does look mighty familiar.

I live with the consolation that Shrubby, the little charismatic Rethug TOOL, is not really running the Country. The enchanting Spurious George is just a pawn being allowed by the fascist corporatocracy that really rules the world to play the role of Queen in this round of the game.

I just hope Stone does a better job of demonstrating that reality in W than he did telling the truth about 9/11 in World Trade Center.

I wonder if the schrub really exuded that much charisma ? I think the reality might possibly be alot more predictably lame but, that wouldn’t be near so entertaining.

Bush’s astrological sign is cancer.  The behavior here is all bluster.  Get a good astrology text and look up “Cancer Male”.

The grandiose shitkicking black knight in his white carnivore hat switches on his seductive megalomanic radar charm targeting his consecrated codependent narcissistic supply called ‘wife’ but spelled c-a-s-u-a-l-t-y. Next target, a nation, then another, and another… insatiable.

This is going to be one hell of a movie!  Great work Mr. Stone!
