Updated with poll question for the last scene.
Fitzmas game for DKOS family: Casting Call for the Movie
Good morning, DKOS family.
We all got tired for waiting and literally got hang over.
(Till when? Whaaaaat? Wake me up in the Friday morning... zzzzz)
But... while I was watching and switching from CNN to MSM to Fox (commercial time) besides of being busy for reading NYT's timeline (good job!) and tagged pages, I created one interesting game.
It's a casting vote game for the coming (definitely coming!) future film, featuring this entire saga of BushCo. Evil Empire.
Who is your Rove and Libby? Valerie and Joe Wilson?
Who is your Osama, and Bush? (These two were the toughest.)
On this hanging Thursday, please enjoy your original casting.
Merry Fitzmas Eve! (again...)
The title:
T R E A S O N: The Rise and Fall of the Bush's Empire
"How they led the three wars, and how they ended up at the Grand Jury."
Once I started, the story can't stop from 9/11 to two wars and PlameGate, as well as the casting list goes on and on and on.... The locations also span from White House to CIA, Pentagon... to Kandahar, Niger, and Baghdad. Then finally ends up at the Grand Jury.
Guys, it's an endless game, I've just dipped my head in deep, instead listening those talking heads' B---sh-t. (Used to be a surfer, so what? From a hippie to an ambassador? Isn't it a great American story?)
I present this game as a "Fitzing" family gift for the Fitzmas. (Special thanks to georgia 10!)
Since I'm a sort of film-nerd, some names may be tough to figure out. You can make your own casting list for this projected movie.
It'll be an epoch-making 2-volume omnibus drama -- "Part I-The Empire Rising"( war drama version) and "Part II-The Americans Rising" ( court drama version). The diversity of international casts and staff can compete with Darryl F. Zanuck's "The Longest Day" (1962).
Option 1: All the cast and production staff members will waive their payroll. (volunteer)
Option 2: All the profit of this movie goes to the families who lost their members in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of course includes local civilians.

There's still no cast for some roles - They're so unique figure, I coudn't find.
Do you have any actor to fit in?
Also excuse for the typos or mistaken role titles.
Here's my best choice for the top three characters:
Osama Bin Laden --- David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck)
Patrick Fitzgerald --- Liev Schreiber (Manchurian Candidate)
and.... the naked emperor is...
George W. Bush --- Gary Oldman
