Josh Brolin was miscast as George W. Bush in W

This is a follow up to the August 6, 2008 article "W=Wack." The movie was released this past weekend and it flopped. While, I'm not pro-Bush, it just didn't seem like a hit to me back in August and it wasn't this month upon its debut. It brought in $10 million at the box office.

“W” cost $55 million to make and market. While to make the real W, 60 odd years ago probably only cost a bottle of gin and a sperm with a too accurate navigation system, that would go on to plague humanity six decades later, resulting in an ill-fated war in Iraq and a banking crisis that destabilized the world.
