I would love to see an epic Hollywood biography of William Howard Taft, with big budget action sequences and state of the art special effects.

The bathtub scene would require CGI...and who would play Taft?

William Conrad would've been good, but now he's dead.

Ron Howard needs to be the director. Of course, these days, that'd mean that Dan Brown would be writing the screenplay....

But I thought Teddy Roosevelt actually had a personality.

This is a TAFT! movie. We can't have someone charismatic in the role of TAFT!'s Judas.

I'd like a cameo role as an elderly lady who faints when she hears Taft loudly exclaim "You're damn right!".

I'd argue that Taft was Roosevelt's Judas.

True, but we could at least have someone who could act better than, say, a two-by-four.

How 'bout James Woods? It's not like anyone actually likes him, but at least he can act. :yay:

I can't believe you'd say something this disgusting.

Another James. Caan. He'll do.

Also, can we get a few mistresses written into the script?

Will there be a barfight? Because Taft in a barfight would be a great cinematic moment.

What about Monica Lewinsky in a small role as Taft's mistress? She and Paris could get into a pillowfight over Taft when his infidelity is eventually discovered.

Perfect casting - her latest catch phrase is "That's Huge" so she already has most of her lines memorized.
