And Ann Coulter should do the trick nicely. I propose either Gunnar or Matthew Nelson from the seminal rawk band, Nelson.

14. I can top that:

Bring in the guy who played "Paul" on Cheers. He also played one of the "consultants" in the movie Office Space. Perfect for the role of Rove.

16. George Wendt
I thought of him, too, but went to Beatty.

I was envisioning the film as a complex drama, so I went with I thought were the best actors. Wendt is good; Beatty is great.



Karl Rove from the Hooover Institute (Stanford University); George Wendt from the BBC; Ned Beatty in the film Spring Forward from Reel.com.

Jim Carrey, at his best, has uncanny way of presenting a superficially innocent character who has more complex characteristics under the surface (The Truman Show, the Riddler in one of the Batman films), so he seemed to be the best actor to play Bush.

10. What about First Lady Pickles and her chum Lynne?
Charlotte Rae, of Facts of Life fame, would make an excellent Pickles. Errr... if she is still alive. And I am seeing Dr. Laura as a most brilliant Lynne Cheney.

13. I've noticed the resemblence, too.

I swear, the more I hear Bush speak the more he reminds me of a B-grade televangelist doing a bad Pat Robertson impersonation.

19. The PERFECT Dick Cheney: Bob Hoskins
Edited on Sat Jun-26-04 09:23 PM by unidentifiedbassplay
Remember when he played J. Edgar Hoover in JFK? One of the scariest portrayals I ever saw.

As for Wolfowitz: Alan Rickman.

22. Hoskins is an excellent actor
He did Iago on a BBC production of Othello opposite Anthony Hopkins. Catch that if you can.
