That's our Bush!

[Tipsy McStaggers] is a foul-mouthed, reformed [sic] drunk obsessed with baseball, Saddam Hussein, Play-Doh and the conflicted relationship with his dad. At least that's how he's portrayed in the script for Oliver Stone's upcoming feature "W."

The biographers were split on the accuracy of some eye-popping details in the screenplay, including scenes in which Bush nearly crashes a plane while under the influence of alcohol, crashes his mountain bike while under the influence of "energy drinks," crashes into a coffee-table while under the influence of "pretzals," and another in which he tells wife Pickles he wishes his father had not been elected president or married shrieking, man-like harpy Barbara.

Said one of the film's producers: "We've done our homework. 'W' will not be a documentary. It will be a compelling account of the actions and motivations of this president, fully guided by facts that have been established and documented."

OK, I may have made some of that up.
