Reply #24: kudos to Will Ferrell [View All]

Very interesting interview with him in "GQ", not long ago. He said that Bush called SNL to get him to do a photo-op ("I need you to get your boy to do this"), and when he refused, Bush put pressure on the NBC executives.

He hasn't been politically outspoken before, so he's picked a great time to take a stance. (Ferrell also said that if he got to play Bush again, he'd have him wearing the flightsuit and helmet all the time -- in cabinet meetings, state visits, reading to schoolkids -- pretty funny.)
