What TV/Movie character could dubya be?

[Serial Mom]

I think he could be an evil Frank Burns of MASH (Frank could at least be a likable character some of the time - dubya isn't)

He is outwardly and overly religious

He was at the bottom of his class
"Oh, but we're doctors, we're trained to ignore people's pain".

He laughs at all the wrong times
"I didn't come here to be liked."

He had command of the English language
"I love the outdoors. Any time I'm not indoors, that's where you'll find me."

His view of leadship
"The way I see it, unless we each conform, unless we obey orders, unless we follow our leaders blindly, there is no possible way we can remain free."

He is a coward
"We all know it's brutal up there at the front, especially those of us at the rear"

He goes with his "gut" instincts
"That's what I understand from a very reliable gossip!"

He blames others for his mistakes (which he makes all the time)

He's mainly interested in making money

He likes his "mommy"
Frank: I'm taking this to a higher authority.
Trapper: Aw Frank, you're not gonna call your mother again!

He doesn't "get it" when others make fun of him
"It's only the people who know you that don't give you any respect."

He likes it when others suck up to him
Margaret: They love you, Frank.
Frank: It was their hatred that fooled me.

He doesn't like people who disagree with him
"Stop laughing without me."

He loves to command the troops
"I think you will all agree that by trying to introduce more discipline, more order, I have hopefully made this a more enjoyable war for all of us. Leadership is a lonely business. Your Napoleons, your Kaisers, your Attilas the Hun, were alone there in the front office as I have been this week. I have thought of you. I know you have thought of me - but some of the notes in the suggestion box were really below the belt! I mean, why drag my mother into this?"

And what I think may be the funniest thing - while looking for quotes from Frank Burns, I found this article:
Frank Burns remembered
"M*A*S*H" star saluted from the campaign trail.
By Jake Tapper
http://dir.salon.com/politics2000/feature/2000/04/13/linville/index.html

Campaigning in Watts, Texas Gov. George W. Bush said, "I liked his acting a lot, though "M*A*S*H" was typical Hollywood, uh, liberal, um, point of view. Larry Linville, who played Frank Buns, was a great Ameritian, and will be mixed. Not only by me and others in my campaign, but by the people of our country and not just Albert Alda."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! - um, liberal, um ...... will be mixed (??) ..... not just Albert Alda

1. JR Ewing - the coniving oil man who takes over from Daddy

[SoCalDem]

2. But JR was at least intelligent, and actually RAN things. n/t

:)

[TwentyFive]

6. You're right - Maybe Cheney is JR? JR would play * for the sucker he is!!

* would have played one of the politicians that JR backs and controls.

3. Forrest Gump

5. If you separated him from his PNAC boys? Barney Fife.

[MsAnthropy]

8. That's who he reminded me of in the second debate! n/t

[aden_nak]

14. I have this image of Don Knotts screaming, "You tell that to Tony Blair!"

It's highly amusing.

[dean_dem]

17. I just processed that image in my head. Too funny.

[sniffa]

7. dr. zeus

[Qutzupalotl]

9. Ernest

Goes to Camp David

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. "Tell me about the rabbits, Dick."

Lenny, of course.

[terrya]

11. I was going to say Foster Brooks.

The comedian who's shtick was to act like he was drunk.

[maveric]

12. Governor Lepetomaine from Blazing Saddles.

He even looks a little like him.

[Willy Lee]

18. Love that movie!

What in the Wild Wild World of Sports is going on here?

[tsakshaug]

13. one of the Darryls

Would Rove be larry?

[Ladybast]

15. Too obvious I suppose, but . . . . .

I still have to say its Bonzo.



Similarities between Bonzo and Dubya:

everted lips
uncanny facial resemblence
underdeveloped social manners
strange bulges under clothing. For Bonzo it's a diaper.
tries to imitate Ronald Reagan
looks to humans to tell him what to do
-------------------

If y'all haven't seen "Bedtime for Bonzo," time to rent it. It's a classic that's a lot more fun than the last four years of this administration.

16. If Cheney is Darth Vader.....

then Bush has to be Dark Helmet from "Spaceballs."

19. I've always thought he was like Fredo Corleone.

If events turned out differently, and Fredo became the Don instead of Michael, I think Don Fredo would have been a lot like President George.

Out of all his siblings, Fredo was the dumb, weak-willed son of a former Don. Fredo was foolish enough to be taken advantage of by men who only wanted to use his connections. Fredo can't shoot for shit. He likes fishing. The first time we see him, he's drunk. Sound like anyone we know?
