Woman to be U.S. president -- on '24'
Published: July 22, 2007 at 10:30 PM
LOS ANGELES, July 22 (UPI) -- Actress Cherry Jones may play the next president on the hit U.S. television show "24."
Sources say Jones will play the U.S. commander in chief on the action thriller, which has long been toying with the idea of a female president, the Hollywood Reporter said Sunday.
The Fox network would not confirm the report. Jones would be the first major cast member added to the upcoming seventh season.
Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV were forced to delay shooting until August when plans to set the season in Africa fell through.
The decision to cast a woman as president is even more interesting in light of the fact that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., is the front-runner for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, the Reporter said.
Jones' credits include "The West Wing" and "The Perfect Storm."
What a skank huh ???
Jones is an out lesbian and has participated in Gay Pride Parades. So my hunch is she will not be playing a conservative.
Just like Hillary.
You should check out season 4, which was the most politically incorrect season and really great. William Devane actually said this line in the season 4 premiere:
“Spare me your 6th grade Michael Moore logic.”
NO JOKE!
Meanwhile, there was one episode in particular (The Joe Prado episode) that made the libs go nuts. The leading terrorist (A Muslim, NOT a White guy!) called in a lawyer from “Amnesty Global” to represent a terrorist suspect named “Joe Prado”, so then he couldn’t talk. The slimy lawyer went on and on about his client’s rights.
As soon as Jack realized that Prado’s lawyer had been appointed by a terrorist, Jack tracked down Prado, bent his fingers back and hurt him until little Joe told him what he needed to know.
There was also a brilliant storyline about a Muslim family living undetected in the US for 5 years. The father was willing to kill his wife and son for the cause. He also objected to his son dating an American girl.
She’s the MOAL...The Mother of All Lesbians.
Hey 24! I’m all done, and so are you.
Don't be so quick to guess. Libs like Tim Robbins LOVE playing EVIL conservatives.
What will Rush have to say?
William Devane has been fantastic, so has Chloe, Niles, Milo, the token ME chick, Bill, Bill’s wife, all the bad guys, all the good guys (especially Everyman Peter McNichol) I’ve loved every minute.
This news tells me that 24 has caved. That makes it even worse than other shows, because I always believed that 24 was representing US. The UN-PC Americans who know that being ruthless is the only way to win. It worked against the Germans in Dresden and it worked against the Japanese at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it works when Jack Bauer needs that intel, now. THERE’S NO TIME!
Cherry “Big Fat Lesbian” Jones as Hillary Rodham “Big Fat Lesbian” Clinton is a knife in my heart. Joel has become a shill.
Unless...HRClinton totally screws the pooch and shows what a corrupt evil monster she really is, and she is tried and executed on cable TV for treason. That might work! I’d even buy the DVD!!!
Personally, I noticed in Season one, that "24" tends to leave the left turn signal on. I never bought the "lesbian terrorists blew up a jet" story line.
The show did get much better, but now, seems to be trying to return to it's original PC premise.
A Woman-in-the-Whitehouse story line is OK, so long as she's NOT, a Liberal/Socialist/Marxist, or Hillary .
I am huge fan of 24, but I won’t be watching anymore since they have chosen to use a female President so close to a national election. It’s seems unfair that they do this in light of the worst female candidate is up for election.
Also, I wrote to Fox.
Naw, I can’t call it yet. But if it’s crap this year then last year will be the “jump the shark” year.
social engineering....never ends
i actually saw a warm comedy on On-Demand the other night called Holiday with a nice ensemble cast.
and NO GRATUITOUS HOMOSEXUALITY.......I was amazed
From “West Wing?” They couldn’t dig deeper in the barrel?
If that is the case, I will buy the DVD and watch it forever! It’s just so gorgeous...*Gawd, I loathe them*
So, the President's a chick. Big deal. It doesn't mean anything yet. A lot changes in six months' worth of shows.
Howard Gordon took over from Joel Surnow as the show runner starting in season 5, so Surnow has less influence now. Gordon is a lib as is writer/producer Evan Katz who donated to Dean a few years ago.
Surnow wrote or co-wrote 9 episodes in season 1 and only 5 in season 6. Meanwhile, co-creator Bob Cochran (also a conservative) went from writing 6 episodes in the first season to just 2 in season 6.
Yeah, it’s possible that they could have her play an “evil” conservative. Of course, they’ve already done that with Logan.
My main problem with having another president on 24 is that Wayne Palmer had just taken the oath, 3 MONTHS prior to the start of season 6. This means that either 4 years passed (making Jack Bauer almost 50 years old, while Kiefer isn’t even 41 yet) or this will be the second consecutive term with 3 presidents!
And I really believe the White House storyline has run it’s course on 24. They need to make the show more personal, less politically driven and a smaller story again. And they need lots more Chloe than ever before:)
And he stated in Rolling Stone Mag. that he hated this Christmas Tree!
