Rep. Thad McCotter can add "screenwriter" to a list of job titles -- including "president" -- that he will not be holding in the future. A TV script written by the Michigan Republican was leaked to the Detroit News, and by accounts it is, uh, interesting.

"Bumper Sticker: Made On Motown" starred McCotter as the host of a variety show with characters based on his congressional staffers. Plot details include a character who dresses in a matador costume, gets drunk off a spiked Slurpee and barfs. Dialogue centers on "drinking, sex, race, flatulence, puking and women's anatomy."

McCotter told the paper that the script was unfinished and that the show was "deliberately designed to be train wreck." He said he has circulated to the script to at least one filmmaker.
