A leaked, possibly fake, memo suggests that Oliver Stone's forthcoming movie about the US President, W, opens with wild child Dubya driving his car on to his parents' front lawn and drunkenly yelling insults at his father (Dubya, in a red tunic, and wearing a garland of marigolds, turns to the camera and sings: “Thank you Mr Perfect! You treat me like a reject/ OK, I'm no war hero. Does that make me a zero?”).
Bush Sr, anxious about his son's waywardness, secretly entrusts the boy to his loyal lieutenant, Dick Cheney, who is inviting a wary Dubya to bond over a day's quail-hunting when the two men are distracted by the sight of a dancing couple. It is Condoleezza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld, who realise that their secret love is doomed (“Our love has no place to go, this is what we know we know/ So we dance to dull our woe. We go slow then quick-quick-slow”). Dick co-opts this pair in his plan to redeem Dubya in his father's eyes.
Dick tells Dubya how his father once battled a tyrant called Saddam, but rued never ending this despot's reign of terror. Dubya instantly vows to avenge his father and to rid the world of Saddam (the foursome dance energetically towards the Middle East, followed by thousands of soldiers, while all singing: “Saddam has weapons he is hiding, With UN rules he's not abiding”). Mission accomplished, so to speak, Dubya returns to Washington to be reconciled with his father, who realises that Dubya is, indeed, a dutiful son after all (“I have to say it, in this song; that I'd got my son all wrong/ I thought his life had come a cropper, but now he's proved he loves his poppa.”). The cast all dance in unison as the sun sets on Bush's estate.

Yes. Well. I think you are leaving out Dubya's mother. The mother is a central figure in all Bollywood movies. Svengali Karl Rove says that he has always been intimidated by the Bush women.
Bollywood fathers tend to be irascible and ineffectual. I'm not sure you got that right either!
