So, I saw this movie last week. The life and times of George W. Bush. I was going to write a review after I saw it, but then I really didn't see much of a reason. BORING. Politically, it really isn't much to write home about. It wasn't a scathing look into his life, and it wasn't a lighthearted romp through his many blunders. I really thought it would be, well, funny. But it wasn't funny or intriguing. It left out vast parts of his history that is important, while going over shit that just doesn't fit. There was nothing about him skipping out of the air national guard, getting rich off of bogus oil ventures that he purposely made fail so he could cash in, his cronies stealing Florida in the 2000 election, him eavesdropping on millions, him reading "My Pet Goat" while America was under attack on 9/11, his war in Afghanistan, Katrina, and so much more. I could go on forever on what they left out of this movie. It also had nothing on his reelection or his second term. Nothing about Powell or Rumsfeld's resignation. Cheney was evil in it, he was portrayed perfectly. But, in the end, the movie tried to make you feel for the president. That is just weird. It was his faith and his alcoholism. Him living in his fathers shadow. It was a heartfelt, compassionate look into a man who stole an election, sent thousands of Americans to their death, almost bankrupted us, violated the bill of rights and raped the constitution is every way imaginable.


good family fun
