Default Death of A President

The Toronto film festival will feature the premiere of a mock documentary showing the imagined assassination of U.S. President George W. Bush.

Here's an article from the National Post

And here's a reasoned article from the American Right

It was already shown on the BBC, check isohunt.com for it. Its not that bad actually, in bad taste because he is still in office but likely fullfils the majority of the EU citizenry and leftists dream.

I'm sure many people will have a wet dream over the movie, but thats not what it was made for.

I had my doubts initially when I heard about it, but after reading numerous reports, I'd say it actually looks very good.

If Bush was assassinated in would probably allow the warhawks to actually get a tighter grip on the US. I as a leftist would never want any president assassinated whether I disagree with his policies or not. Not just because I think it would be wrong, but the ensuing chaos might cause the nation to take some drastic and ridiculous action to counter it.
