Supreme Derangement: Bush Tops Hollywood’s Coldest People List

Change font size:  A |  A

In our never-ending quest to identify the worst - nay best - example of Bush Derangement Syndrome in the media, NewsBusters disrespectfully offers the following.

Even though George W. Bush is not an actor, he not only made a listing of Hollywood's coldest people, he topped it.

You've got to be kidding!

As reported by the Associated Press Wednesday (h/t NB reader tracyz20, emphasis added):

The online magazine Film Threat placed Bush at the top of its "Frigid 50," an annual ranking of the "least-powerful, least-inspiring and least-intriguing people in Hollywood" in contrast to the "hot" lists that celebrity magazines often compile.

Thinking the AP must have been mistaken, I ambled over to Film Threat's website, and confirmed the lunacy (emphasis added):

1. President George W. Bush
With all due respect to Hollywood, the mighty W is as much a cinema celebrity as the next despotic tyrant. Whether it be a thinly veiled proxy of Bush portrayed in a film ("Transformers," "American Dreamz"), a documentary appearance ("Sicko," "Fahrenheit 9/11," "The Power of Nightmares," "No End in Sight"), a fictionalized accounting in a film ("The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course," "DC 9/11: Time of Crisis," "Death of a President," "The Master of Disguise," "Postal") or even a television show or two ("That's My Bush!", "Lil' Bush," "Robot Chicken," "South Park"), President George W. Bush has been a fixture on the big and small screens for the length of his historically tragic run.

By this time in 2008, however, George W. will have a successor to the political trash-pile, and save for a possible war crime tribunal in his future or a retrospective on where America went wrong, the man's celebrity career is over with. No more Michael Moore cinematic slapfests, no more cute comedy shows about what a moron he is. Maybe a biopic, but it won't be anytime soon.
Anti-Freeze: Figure out another way to circumvent the established system of checks and balances and ramrod through a resolution or three that'll keep him in power as long as he wants... if he hasn't already done that.

You think these folks type e-mail messages to their mothers with the same keyboards they used to produce this detritus?
