Reports VarietyOliver Stone has set his sights on his next directing project, “Bush,” a film focusing on the life and presidency of George W. Bush, and attached Josh Brolin to play the title role.
Wrong, wrong, wrong Ollie.
Josh Brolin is a fine actor, as he showed in the Coen Brothers’ great “No Country for Old Men.’ But any movie about Bush should be a comedy. So it should star Jim Carrey, who looks like our ludicrous Comic-in-Chief.
Bush is a doofus and dingaling, a fool, and a patsy. 
What else but a comedy to portray a “conservative” who vastly increased government’s expense and power, who promised a “humble” foreign policy but got us stuck in quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, who uses the Constitution for toilet paper?
The best contemporary actor for the role today obviously is Carrey, a crackup of the first order. He’s already played a role on Bush’s pre-presidential life, “Dumb and Dumber,” so he’s prepped for the role.
Imagine Carrey in the actual scene in May 2003 when Bush flew onto an aircraft carrier and declared “Mission Accomplished” — as the war in reality was just beginning. The Marx Brothers couldn’t have come up with such a laff riot.
Besides, after Bush torturing America and the world for seven years now, with another disastrous year to go, we need some comic relief.
If Stone won’t do it as a comedy, then somebody else should make another Bush movie, staring Carrey. Call it “Bush and Busher.”

I’ve got a compromise suggestion for who should star in Oliver Stone’s film on Bush. Let go with the fine Canadian actor/comedian Will Ferrell! I’ve seen him do Bush before, and maybe we can get Dana Carvey to play his daddy.
Monty Python should do the movie, but the story of Bush would be too ridiculous even for those folks.
