Movie analogies to bush's presidency?
Advertisements [?]
I can think of 2 good ones, and one that might be good if I knew the movie better... any other good'uns?

(1) Star Wars Attack of the Clones - where the evil emperor and his lackey Duko were talking about their plans being discovered by the Jedi - they come to the conclusion "ok - we've made our plans, let's get it on"...

(2) Gladiator - when the patricidal usurper took the reigns (lol), one of the first things he did was bring back the gladiator fights. the good-senator commented to the effect of "he will bring the masses death, and they will love him for it". part of the point of the remark is that the usurper specifically set out to coarsen his subjects, so that he could get away with more crap.

(3) (mebbe) Lord of the Flies - been so long since I've seen/read it, can't remember in detail - at the very least, the image of a buncha immature brats who can't do anything right seems apropos....

anybody got any others?
