As I wrote in our review, "this depiction of W. as a good-ol'-boy airhead, a patsy puppeteered by Cheney, will only further absolve him of responsibility for his disastrous presidency-just as we've seen in the media, who not only line the pockets of his former minions (see: David Frum, Nicole Wallace) but also have been hell-bent on rehabbing his public image, portraying one of the worst presidents in history-a man who conned us into war, mainstreamed torture, destabilized the Middle East, and sank the global economy-as a candy-passin', joke-crackin' eccentric artist." That it received the most Golden Globe nominations (6) of any film this year is truly mind-boggling."
