I’m sorry, I love Oliver Stone as much as the next liberal bitch, but he totally missed the mark on W. It’s a whiny, stupid little father-son tale about drunken entitlement and how the ol’ white boy’s network is alive and kicking and currently running the country (hopefully, not for very much longer).
Where’s the outrage over what George W. Bush has done to our fine country? W. spends more time lampooning Bush’s slobbering table manners—really, it’s almost as if SNL launched a boutique film division with this dog, I mean, where’s angry Michael Moore when you need him?—than the atrocities Bush’s regime is responsible for: more than 4,000 U.S. and a million Iraqis dead, thanks to Dubya’s Iraq War, and no end in sight.
Actually, No End in Sight is the title of Charles Ferguson’s Oscar-nominated documentary (narrated by Campbell Scott), which is far more revealing, heartbreaking and fascinating for gaining info on Bush’s handiwork. And Ferguson admirably just put the entire movie on YouTube, check it out for friggin’ free (also below).
Have any doubts that McCain is similarly of this warmongering school? If so, hit Google and type in “voting records,” “bills” and “Obama and McCain.” On everything that revolves around curtailing and providing accountability and ultimately getting us the hell out of Iraq, Obama votes yes, McCain, no. Now, it’s your turn to vote.
Oh, and for those of you who say I’m supposed to be gossiping, not talking politics...fine. Also, so lamely illustrated in W. is Dubya’s current devotion to near beer. Oliver, Oliver, Oliver. Really thought you were sharper than that. Bush is boozing like an unrehabbed Lohan, didn’t you know? He must feel terribly guilty about something, but that’s just a hunch on my part.
