George Walker Bush, as opposed to his father George Herbert Walker Bush. The father was commonly called "George Bush" while president, the son was called "George W. Bush". The emphasis put on the W while speaking about the son evolved into just "W".

I have yet to see a feature-length film depicting Trump the way, e.g. Oliver Stone's "W" or Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" depicted Bush. Trump's crimes are buried in a mountain of...other crimes, and the atmosphere is so thick with bullshit that investigating facts is to tempt a firehouse of political hate of epic proportions. I think certain topics are virtually suicide these days.
I found this just hilarious after having read Michael Lewis' book "The Future Just Happened".
On the one hand hes totally right.. on the other hand hes totally missing the point, completely obsessed with blatant self promotion. ugh.
Then we see Tony Robbins propping up Rays rep as a 'serious human being'.. omg, my arse hurts from laughing so much.
This and "W" {dubya} are my must sees for comedy movies of '09.
Leaked trailer for Oliver Stone's upcoming film "W." chronicling the life of George W Bush. Supposedly it will be released 10 days before the election this November.
