Now Casting: Scott McClellan, THE MOVIE
May 29, 2008 | Cinnamon Girl

Posted on 05/29/2008 10:31:18 AM PDT by Cinnamon Girl

STARRING:

Jack Black as the dimwitted, confused and chunky Scott McClellan.

SCOTT: "I'm not trying to sell a book. I'm trying to tell the truth this time. Pretty much. Just like I always have. Before I had to lie. This time it's all true, though."

Bruce Willis as the unflappable and devastatingly adept White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer.

ARI: "Arafat is the MLK of the palestinian peace movement? Don't make me come down there, Helen. I'd kill you with my bare hands, but I don't want to disrespect the elderly."

Kurt Russell as the honorable, dedicated, deeply loyal President George W. Bush.

PRESIDENT BUSH: "That little son of---. He wasn't in any of those meetings."

Robert Duvall as the laconic and sharklike Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney.

VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY: "I knew there was something wrong with that guy when he asked me if Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson were married even though they had different last names... man behind the curtain my ass... where is that punk right now? Somebody turn on the t.v."

Earlier, Rush exposed the fact that the publisher of McClellan’s book is the ultra-far-left guy who published the radical books against Bush — much of which was funded by none other than the Dupe of The Left, George Soros.

So effectively, and in reality, McClellans’ book has direct ties to the radical left, Soros and their ilk. Is this a surprise? And it begs the question, “Did McClellan even really write this book?”

McClellan is a lightweight fool who will be used by the left here, and then thrown out with the next days garbage.

Possible consideration for the role of Helen Thomas:

Ernest Borgnine.

I welcome your suggestions.

Val Kilmer perhaps? (I hope he gets back in shape because I really like him.)

:::::
Actually, Borgnine is far better looking than Helen Thomas, a mismatch for the role. And far more intelligent.

Obviously it would require a lot of makeup and prosthetics. I thought that was understood.

“Did McClellan even really write this book?”

I suspicion it was 'ghost written' and all he had to do was sign the contract.

I have an idea his 'career' hasn't been much to talk about since he got ousted.

Combined with the years of reading: "Ari was the best" - "Tony is GREAT" - "McClellan the worst in history" = both his ego and his pocket book needed replenishing.

He will reap the whirlwind of his deal with the devils - his portrait, already amateurish, will age rapidly as he finds the devil is loyal only as long as it's expedient - and not one second longer.

I nominate Fred Willard to pay Scottie Boy. The IQ of the character he plays in “A Mighty Wind” is probably the same as Scott’s (maybe a little higher). As Scott writes, “Wha’ Happened?”

That’s great. He’s a little old for the part, but the character is spot on. I love that “Wha’ happn?”

Better hurry this up and make your money before La Scala beats you to it.

Not bad at all!!! Although Jack Black - and even Vernon Troyer (”Mini-Me”) - both seem too likable to portray McClellan’s Judas-like aspects. We need a real weasel, not just a lovable dope.

Kurt Russell is one of my favorites, too.

Hey! Why aren’t there more parts for hot babes in this movie! ;)

I nominate “Ross,the Intern” from the Tonight Show for the role of Scott McClellan! He’s a dead ringer for Scotty boy!
