White House Biographers Not Happy With "W"

Daddy issues, liquor problems, baseball-obsessed and livid at Saddam Hussein - these are the qualities that Oliver Stone has generously given to current President George W. Bush in his upcoming biopic titled "W".

The script, which was sent out to a range of Bush biographers, has been met with mixed reactions. Biographers are conceding that scenes in the film are based in fact, but that members of the White House are "over-the-top caricatures" and that dialogue and actions portray the 43rd President and his inner-circle as completely inept.

"It leaves you with the impression that the White House is run as a fraternity house with no reverence for hierarchy, the office itself or for the implications of policy."

"Everybody calling everybody else nicknames and chatting about whether to go to war as if they were chatting about how to bet on a football game really misses the mark of how many White Houses, including this one, are run."

Stone aims to release the film (starring Josh Brolin) while Bush is still in the Oval Office, and could potentially drop it in time for the November election. Every one of Stone's political movies have stirred up controversy and this one doesn't look like an exception.

It sounds like the White House is a pretty fun place to work.
