Bush Whacking?

(Fox News) - Director and noted George W. Bush critic Oliver Stone says he is going to shoot a movie about the president after the end of the current writers' strike.

Stone tells Variety that he has empathy for President Bush as a human being. He adds, "I want a fair, true portrait of the man. How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world? It's like Frank Capra territory on one hand, but I'll also cover the demons in his private life, his bouts with his dad and his conversion to Christianity, which explains a lot of where he is coming from."

Stone wants Josh Brolin to play Mr. Bush. Brolin's father is married to another noted Bush-basher, Barbra Streisand.
