Joe Budden/Nixon
Posted by T2D in 2009 year of the Budden, SN
What if...well, you get the picture (and if you don't, click on the above link '2009 year of the Budden' for the entire series to date).
Nixon's team would have hired Jay-Z to attend the interviews and silently mock Joe Budden off-camera throughout.
James Reston Jr. would not have been played by Sam Rockwell. He would have been played by jut plain Rockwell, and he would have teamed up with Budden for a sick rap remix of "Somebody's Watching Me."
After Budden had just nailed the former president with a great question, he would have stood up and started rhyming "Pump It Up" with beats blaring over the sound system.
Four days before the final session, a drunk Nixon calls Budden. Budden, expecting a call from a ladyfriend about dinner arrangements, answers "cheeseburgers." When he finds out it's really Nixon on the phone, he hangs up and goes to the In-N-Out Burger.
