Oliver Stone's new George W. Bush biopic comes out today, and former Fla. Gov. Jeb Bush calls it all a bunch of "hooey," specifically the "Oedipal rivalry" bit. Oedipal rivalry? I am now officially excited.
Conservative-leaning News Corp. rag the New York Post, gives it pretty good accuracy (read: they have to call it "truthiness." Ugh.) points. So does MTV. And Slate's Timothy Noah gives a pretty good case for Bush being Stone's perfect subject.
The film features, among other things, a drunken 26-year-old Bush crashing his car into some trash cans at his family's home, then threatening to go "mano a mano" with his father. This one, of course, seems to be true. Again, I can't wait to see this movie.
