John Rendon—Bush Administration Image Shaper—Spearheads Upbeat Version of
"Elephant Man" with Disney

By Paul Springer
In a partnership reminiscent of the World War II alliance between MGM and the U.S. Armed Forces, the Bush administration's head propagandist, John Rendon, has formed a major development deal with Disney Entertainment. The secretive Rendon Group's credits include the War in Iraq and its ongoing sequel, as well as a host of less publicized military dramas.

Rendon and Bush hope to combat the current climate of pessimism by salvaging a positive message from stories that have been cast in darker terms. "If the Rendon Group could sell the public on Iraq," the president explained, "I knew an Elephant Man with a happy ending wasn't out of the question."

The cheerfully updated Elephant is already on Broadway, courtesy of Andrew Lloyd Webber, and the animated version went straight to video where it could do the most good winning the hearts and minds of America's children.

"The children are our future," Rendon noted. "Young people don't know enough history, so we're producing an animated movie about the Third Reich's brownshirts. Kids need to value their role in world events."

The Rendon/Disney group is also planning an upbeat version of the atom bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and a bubbly musical based on Viet Nam War's Me Lai massacre is in production as well.
