Hmmmm....

Well, the trailer is vague as hell, but I have two questions:

When the "That's My Bush" actor (or maybe it's the Rumsfeld guy, who knows?) says "We'll take these guys out!!" why does he sound exactly like a Ronald Reagan impersonator? I'm confused...

and...

I must echo the thoughts of the actor who recites "People want to know where their dang President is!!!" I agree... where's Al????

1. How hysterical is it that the guy who plays Bush played him

in That's My Bush.

That would be like Rich Little starring in Oliver Stone's Nixon

2. Hey, guys, I think this is where we need to get really active.

Granted it's JUST Showtime, whose numbers aren't great. But it'll generate a lot of publicity during a 9/11 anniversary time, and it'll all be positive for The First Squatter.

We need to write to our editors and to Showtime, lambasting them for this misrepresentation of the facts. Maybe we should demand equal time for the Dem candidates (even though, technically, the equal time provisions and mandates don't exist anymore).

We really shouldn't snooze on this. Anybody got email addresses?

3. I'll bet the Showtime Exec's faces are a bit red right now.

And I'm certain they wish, after-the-fact, that post-production had run a bit more smoothly and efficiently.

:-)

The tide has turned on Chimpy, and I'm with calimary. I think this program will serve to embarrass Showtime in the end, but in the meantime, it primarily exists to fan the post-9/11 BushLove that the neocons have embraced so passionately...

6. Does anyone have the link to the video

of the Florida classroom where Jr was that morning? The one where he sits there for 5 minutes or so after being told of the second plane.

He sat there and did nothing, no reaction. Maybe he had to call The Dick and ask what to do.
