First-look pics of Josh Brolin as George W. Bush in Oliver Stone’s controversial up-coming movie W. (or dub-ya). For those of you who don’t recognize him, Josh Brolin is the actor who starred in No Country For Old Men. (he also started out his career as Brand in the movie Goonies)
Filming begins in less than two weeks according to EW.com. The movie follows Bush’s rise to power. This should be a pretty interesting one…
In light of George W. Bush’s latest approval ratings, I started thinking about this damn “W The President” sticker. Only a short time ago, you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing either the above sticker or the Bush/Cheney ones. They were everywhere. People who donned the sticker also seemed to be so “proud and patriotic” because of it. They used to sneer at anyone who didn’t respect it.
So my question to of all of you is, “Where did all the stickers go?” The last time I saw one of these (besides putting one at the top of this post) seems to have been eons ago. And the part that really pisses me off is wondering when the embracers of the sticker revolted and removed theirs. Did they do it under the cover of night to act as if it was never there to begin with? Did they announce to their coworkers and neighbors that they were “tired of this shit” and then ripped the sticker off in one epic and violent motion? Or was it such an empty gesture that they forgot about it up until the point when they started seeing less and less of them and finally realized that everything about themselves was taboo?
