"In history books, credit may not come easy for Bush" by Peter S. Canellos, Globe Staff | September 30, 2008
WASHINGTON - At home in the White House, the president is probably most proud of the fact that his own composure - and his confidence in himself - never wavered. His presidency may have been, as many critics insist, an exercise in denial, but it would arguably have been worse if he had visibly wilted under the pressure, as Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon did.
Not for much longer, asshole!!!!!
For a man who overcame an undisciplined youth, such stoicism in the face of unrelenting demands is a personal victory, a triumph of character.
Permission to puke, readers.
So it probably will be galling for Bush to see his early peccadilloes, dramatized in a new movie, "W.," set to debut in two weeks. The trailer, already playing in theaters, shows the youthful Bush at booze-filled parties and driving his car on his family's front lawn. In one campy scene, his father protests, "Who do you think you are? A Kennedy? You're a Bush. Act like one."
The movie is directed by Oliver Stone, whose style is to approach US history with a blend of satire and tragedy; his movies, including "JFK" and "Nixon," mix aspects of "Saturday Night Live" and William Shakespeare.
Based on Stone's track record, "W." could be either terrible or great, or perhaps both. But its marketing slogan, "Anyone can grow up to be president," is evidence of how Americans right now are less interested in examining Bush's accomplishments than in exploring how he ever got to be president in the first place. --more--"
Fuck Stone's movie!!!
If he doesn't get at 9/11 TRUTH, then it is a WASTE of MONEY in these eyes!!!!
