We haven't memorized the U.S. constitution or anything, but we're pretty sure that if George W. Bush and Colin Powell were to show up at some Louisiana dive bar, get totally hosed and start rumbling with the locals in an old fashioned bar brawl, they'd be totally within their rights. Hell, if they didn't smash a bottle of whiskey over at least one dude's skull, we'd be disappointed. Don't mess with Texas, y'all!

If you're just a couple of dudes who happen to play Dubsy and the former secretary of state in the movies, however, you might want to stay out of trouble.

Actors Josh Brolin and Jeremy Wright -- who are in Shreveport, Louisiana shooting the new Oliver Stone Bush biopic W -- were arrested this weekend, after being caught in a bar fight.

Somebody please pass this news on to Richard Dreyfuss before he dives too deep into his character (Dick Cheney) and shoots some old man in the face.

According to the local paper, the Shreveport Times, police were called down to the bar where Brolin, Wright and a bunch of other rough-looking so-and-sos (including members of the W crew) were hanging out with a "rowdy patron."

"It's a common call we receive quite often," a Shreveport Police rep told the paper.

The W stars, however, were a little too dedicated to sampling the town's regional flavour. According to E!, the actors allegedly "impeded" the police when they tried to arrest a W crew member, and were hauled down to the city jail on those charges.

Five other individuals who were reportedly involved in the scuffle were taken with them. (If it's any consolation to Brolin and Wright, their movie-star good looks have at least produced the most flattering mug shots of the lot.)

According to reports, Brolin and Wright have since left the drunk tank. They each posted $334 US bail.
