Someone really ought to erect a statue on the Mall to Mary Jo for keeping this reprobate out of the White House. She really DID give her life for her country.
Like turning his ‘Baseball’ documentary into a Mario Cuomo campaign commercial?
Left wing gas-bag
The best parody ever of Ken Burns’ documentaries.

BULLSHIIT !
I liked his Civil War. Baseball was good as well. There was some social issue focus, but overall I thought it well done.
He’s a Lefty for sure. Knowing that allows you to watch with a little bit of a filter to see the subject more clearly when he presents it. Pretty much like the rest of the media/Hollywood efforts....

he’s a leftard dipsh*t b ut gasbag comes close. No, he’s an overrated moron who makes mediocre mockumentaries.
He’s a liar. lying by omission in his leftist ‘documentaries’ are probably the worst kind of lies. Historical documentaries are supposed to be educational. His are the opposite of that.

I’ll take left-wing gasbag.
I will take leftist Gasbag for 3
“Like FDR, Obama has walked us back from the brink. He averted a depression, ended one war and put us on the path ending the other, rescued the auto industry…Obama has deployed the shrewd combination of speaking softly and using a big stick. Ask Bin Laden.”
Okay, one bit at a time:
“Like FDR, Obama has walked us back from the brink. He averted a depression”
-— The worst year of the Great Depression was 1937 - 4 years after FDR became president. Obama did not save us from anything. TARP may have. Obama was NOT president when TARP was passed. Obama actually slowed our recovery with his taxes and regulations.
“ended one war and put us on the path ending the other,”
Actually fighting continues in Iraq and Afghanistan and we and our allies have suffered loses in both. Plus, we have a new war in Libya and ISIS spreading all around the world. We also have a soon-to-be nuclear Iran (thanks to Obama) and an emboldened North Korea. Russia operates with impunity in Ukraine, Syria, and Georgia. China is militarizing the South China Sea without any real resistance from the U.S.
“rescued the auto industry…”
You mean Toyota and Kia and Hyundai would have gone out of business without Obama??? Oh, you mean debt heavy, union organized, U.S. auto makers relying on outmoded thinking were prevented from experiencing a natural death for their stupidity by Obama?
“Obama has deployed the shrewd combination of speaking softly and using a big stick. Ask Bin Laden.”
If I want to ask anyone about Bin Laden, it will be the U.S. Special Forces who shot him to death and left with his body. How on earth Obama - and his sycophants - can make so much hay over shooting one scumbag terrorist leader I’ll never understand. If I want to rate how successful Obama has been against terrorist leaders, I ‘ll ask Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Typical leftist rhetorical fallacy - this time invoking a false dichotomy. I will not argue about whether or not he is a student of history, but he is certainly a left-wing gasbag. Again, here, the gas-bag is redundant and a judgment call suggesting he drones on excessively about his left-wing predilections as opposed to just droning on about his left-wing predilections. Again, I take no position in that debate.
Getting the right narrator was a mistake he would not make again in another "documentary."
I tried other Burns' documentaries. I could not wait for his baseball effort to start. I also never watched it to the end.
The world would be a better place if Burns went into his fetal position and waited for a liberal abortionist to put him out of our misery.
Not much different than Michael Moore, except that he’s a self-righteous gas bag instead of an obnoxious gas bag.
“I’ll take “ left wing gas bag” for 200, Alex.”
There’s a lot of these type of people trying to sell it. But there are a lot of people out there that buy it and put it on the roses thinking it’s gospel.
Trick is to smell what he’s selling and look for better.

It wasn't until his first documentary that I begin to dislike Ken Burns.
Burns reminds me of Bill Moyer. I can't put it any plainer than that.
