He was a man so pure in heart that nothing corrupted him.

Kathleen Parker is an incurable Liberal suck-up but her latest column Voters elevate the ordinary has an inkling of what happened to the United States. Kathleen, poor thing, has a good thought, but when she takes it out to play, she lets it get away from her.
It’s all about “Being There,”... According to Parker, Chauncey Gardiner, the genial but retarded gardener from “Being There” is Alvin Green.
And that’s the point at which Parker’s though begins to run off.
Alvin Green, the man who won the nomination to be the Democrat Senate candidate from South Carolina, who didn’t campaign and is totally unknown, is not, despite Parker’s desire to enlist him in her story, a Chauncey Gardiner model.
Parker: “Being There” is the tall tale of a gardener who becomes a favorite to run for U.S. president following an unlikely series of misunderstandings. The first occurs when Chauncey is turned out of the mansion where he has lived (and gardened) his whole life upon his benefactor’s death. When someone asks his name, “Chance the Gardener” is heard as “Chauncey Gardiner.” Thereafter, everyone Gardiner meets projects his or her own needs and expectations onto this kind but empty-headed “nobody.” In their minds, Gardiner is the wealthy aristocrat they need him to be, his mundane gardening observations sublime metaphors filled with timeless wit and wisdom.
If you have heard or read about Alvin Green, you know he really is an “empty headed nobody.” But no one believes otherwise. No one thinks of him as an aristocrat. No one interprets his words as wisdom. The big mystery about Green, who lives with his father, is how he managed to get the money to file his candidacy.
But a light bulb went in my head as Parker brought my memory back that movie.

Did you read her article?
Yet again your post is vague.
See post 30.
Seems perfectly clear to me.
He was a man so pure in heart that nothing corrupted him.
I think that we can all assume that you know what you mean inside your own head.
no way.
Obama knows exactly what he is doing, or trying to do.
Obama seeks to bring slavery back to the USA. Except this time the non-dc crowd will be the slaves.
Are you truly interested?
I obviously was correct in my post 30 to you, it was not intended to get such a petulant response from you it was merely informational, I surely never knew you were this thin skinned or vain.
I have been bemused by your persistent accusations. Now I find your are precisely what you accuse me of being. Keep your vanity and petulence to yourself.
See post 30, the “Being There” connection is years old.
I never doubted it.
