A show for liberals, by liberals, and made for liberals isn't going to have a republican president (even if it is played by Alan Alda).

I'm not sure if Alda will be playing a GOP POTUS--I have never and will never watch that show. I do, however, love former GOP Senator Fred Thompson as the district atty on "Law & Order"--another very liberal show.

"He made a heck of a bad guy in timecop."


And a quisling junior senator. Personally I think that's a sign of a great actor, the ability to play very different roles in the same movie.

Van Damme movies: the supporting cast always outshines him - remember the Quest? The long forgotten Roger Moore was fantastic in that re-packaging of Bloodsport.

I agree with you; he's mostly a liberal. In addition to gay rights, socialized medicine and abortion, you can add gun control as another issue on which he's a lib.

It's a sad commentary that so many of us on the Right are so eager to get a little approval from Hollyweird that we enthusiastically embrace liberals as our own if they're on the right side once in a blue moon.

I have to agree. I think it's because so few in Hollywood ever agree with any position embraced by the right. And they have an automatic and vocal soapbox that we don't have. True conservatives anywhere near Hollywood don't voice an opinion so if ANY of them agree with ANY Right opinion and say so, we get jubilant. Our side out there tends to be mute in order to keep working.

I guess so. And he was also a member on the Council on Foreign Relations if I'm not mistaken.
