Get Me The Ghost of Monty Clift! Casting The 2012 GOP Slate, Replete With Courtiers And Financiers

If the last Presidential race produced a fine docudrama, Game Change, based on the equally fine book, surely this year?s dust-up between the elephant and the donkey is worth dramatizing. Therefore, , submitted for your approval, is Movieline?s notion of ideal casting and concepts for the 2012 GOP slate, complete with courtiers, financiers and mountebanks. �Tentatively, we?re calling it Liar?s Poker.

Casting the Republican Convention -- Charles KochCasting the Republican Convention -- Stephen ColbertCharles Koch: While we?re stacking up shot callers, why not add in what we've always supposed was the cuddly Koch brother, played by The Colbert Report�namesake and fellow Super PAC maestro Stephen Colbert (after a salt-and-pepper dye job).� It could be a recurring role in the sequel ? should the GOP win, Koch will…
