Well, we already know Mork is going to be voting solid-D from his current graveyard residence...
...so what the heck, why not campaign for them, too?

Newly minted centrist Rob Lowe is notably absent.

Something tells me Lowe would redo both his lefty west wing role and his direct tv role and combine them with the following: “You see that douchy lefty Rob Lowe, well, dont be that guy.”

“Actors Richard Schiff, Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford, Dulé Hill, Joshua Malina and Mary McCormack”

None of the A-listers of the cast. And none of the above group has done anything memorable or been in anything memorable since then: no one will know who they are, and since the TV show ended 10 years ago, it’s not terribly relevant today.

Nonetheless, they’ll pull in more people than Hillary alone, which still won’t be very many.

Actually, a gimmick whereby Hillary appears with famous celebrities could be useful for her, but this bunch just makes her look pathetic, as if this is the best she can do.

Sadly, a good portion of our populace equates TV and Hollywood with reality. It explains so much of what is wrong with this country.

Sadly, you are so right! Radio/TV could have been the greatest teaching and educational tool in the history of mankind. It could have been the greatest advancement to civilization since fire, but it quickly went the wrong direction, devolving into mind-numbing “entertainment”, and little less. Now it is mostly a political tool, and in the wrong hands. Even most modern movies have a decidedly leftist political slant.

I have a female friend that is pretty intelligent on most things, yet she thinks we need a President like the fictional Jed Bartlett from the West Wing as president even though as I pointed out to her he is a TV Liberal President.

We now have a fictional idiot played by Martin Sheen as a standard of what some people look at as a real President.

As time goes on people will actually think we had a president named Jed Bartlett and long for his days in office. LOL

Oh my God; people who PLAYED (read what other rubberheads wrote) members of a failed, politically correct administration, on a TV sitcom, are going to POSE, MINCE, and PRANCE for Hitlery.
Were DOOMED, I TELL YA, DOOOOOOMED.
(never saw the program, I don’t watch Prog/Lib/PC crap).
I wouldn’t recognize these MORONS if they bit me on the ass.
BUT WERE DOOMED.

How appropriate.

Martin Sheen's character, President Josiah Bartlet, hid his affliction from Multiple Sclerosis from voters until after he was elected president.

Next up—The cast of the movie Dave.
