Ain't it cool news ^ | 4/15/04 | Elston Gunn

* Documentary filmmaker George Butler (PUMPING IRON, THE ENDURANCE) is producing and directing TOUR OF DUTY, a film on Democratic candidate John Kerry, which will hit theaters during the peak pre-election period. Based on Douglas Brinkley's bestselling book of the same name, the film will focus on Kerry's Navy tour of duty in Vietnam, the years of peace advocacy that followed and how each contributed to shape his political life thereafter. Butler began work on the project in early 2003 and plans to have the film completed by Labor Day.

I don't think legally that can run during an election, can it? That would be considered a public commercial of him and they would have to play a George Bush BIO every other screening.

Well, I'm sure it will be an accurate and unbiased portrayal of the young man and his invaluable contributions. /barf My Vietnam vet brother in law would LOVE to get his hands on Kerry, but that's another story.

"Tour of Duty" will have to be a short flick. I wonder how much Mrs. Ketchup is paying for the film.

George Butler is a VVAW jackass and Kerry butt kisser.

Vietnam Vets against John Kerry.

Hmmm.... let's see...... which movie shall I see..... The Passion of Christ? or the Banality of Kerry..... *sigh* what a choice. Why I suspect this Kerry movie will probably wow the moviegoers!!! It should make at LEAST $1.38. But that's only if the Kerry family attends.

You have to hand it to liberals. They believe in the power of bad art.

Will the liberal star will wear a flower zipper pull and demand a Purple Heart for just showing up? Will he don a beret and smoke little cigarettes? Will the liberal star still name his boats "Batman" and "Robin?"

Throw-up time.
This promises to be worse than the "MFH."
What was it you said, Fracas?
Hope on a Boat?
