George Bush In Lipstick?

Nico Pitney over at the Huffington Post made an interesting comparison between George W. Bush and Sarah Palin (excerpted below). What I also found quite interesting was the eerie similarity in their looks (above). Pay particular attention to the nose, mouth curves, and ears - She really IS Bush in drag!

A core Democratic talking point against Sarah Palin is beginning to take shape: she is, critics say, the female counterpart of the current President of the United States, not only in terms of policy and social conservatism, but even personality.

"She's not a pitbull in lipstick," said one female Democratic operative, referencing a line from Palin's convention speech. "She's George Bush in lipstick."

From her hard-right stances on abortion and contraception and the deep affection she engenders from conservative evangelical leaders, to her involvement in a possible "abuse of power" scandal in Alaska and even her charming demeanor, some see in Palin the second coming of the 43rd president.

The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder

Vincent Bugliosi, the famed Manson prosecutor, has a new case to present to us. The case of We The People VS George W. Bush for MURDER. . .In his new book, pictured at left (Click the picture to learn more), Bugliosi discusses his amazement at the "kid glove" treatment of Bush by the so-called "liberal media", and their complete and utter lack of follow through to what he has determined to be a clear and solid case against the president for trial for murder:

"Perhaps the most amazing thing to me about the belief of many that George Bush lied to the American public in starting his war with Iraq is that the liberal columnists who have accused him of doing this merely make this point, and then go on to the next paragraph in their columns. Only very infrequently does a columnist add that because of it Bush should be impeached. If the charges are true, of course Bush should have been impeached, convicted, and removed from office. That's almost too self-evident to state. But he deserves much more than impeachment. I mean, in America, we apparently impeach presidents for having consensual sex outside of marriage and trying to cover it up. If we impeach presidents for that, then if the president takes the country to war on a lie where thousands of American soldiers die horrible, violent deaths and over 100,000 innocent Iraqi civilians, including women and children, even babies are killed, the punishment obviously has to be much, much more severe. That's just common sense. If Bush were impeached, convicted in the Senate, and removed from office, he'd still be a free man, still be able to wake up in the morning with his cup of coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice and read the morning paper, still travel widely and lead a life of privilege, still belong to his country club and get standing ovations whenever he chose to speak to the Republican faithful. This, for being responsible for over 100,000 horrible deaths?* For anyone interested in true justice, impeachment alone would be a joke for what Bush did."

Ferrell as Bush slams Stewart

Will Ferrell dusted off his George W. Bush impersonation Sunday night to raise money for autism education. The cause, Comedy Central's "Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Benefit For Autism Education," was started by "Saturday Night Live" writer Robert Smigel, who's son is autistic. Ferrell, as Bush, shared reflections of his legacy with host Jon Stewart:

They weren't booing; they were saying "Boooooooooosh":

Josh "W" Brolin?

Oliver Stone is set to to direct a film about the life and presidency of George W Bush, and he's selected Josh Brolin for the lead (Looks more like Jeb to ME). If financing for the film is agreed, it could begin shooting by April and be in cinemas in time for the US presidential election. In addition to volunteering as a sparring partner for heavyweights at the local gym, Brolin has began a strict regimen of heavy drinking and cocaine use in preparation for his upcoming role.

According to Stone:

"It's a behind-the-scenes approach, similar to 'Nixon', to give a sense of what it's like to be in his skin. But if 'Nixon' was a symphony, this is more like a chamber piece, and not as dark in tone. People have turned my political ideas into a cliché but that is superficial. I'm a dramatist who is interested in people, and I have empathy for Bush as a human being, much the same as I did for Castro, Nixon, Jim Morrison, Jim Garrison and Alexander the Great."

Sources tell us that "The Decider", while not entirely displeased with the casting, was holding out hope for an actor who often portrayed the same characters in film that Bush channels in his "leadership" style: Steve McQueen. Perhaps there's room for both actors - one as a younger Bush and one as a NutBush older Bush.
