I had no idea that Mort suffered with alcoholism. I don't always agree with his political ideas, although in the main, he has gotten more conservative with years, but I admire him as a man. His love for Milly is inspirational.

[what's up]

Madeline Stowe is a pretty good actress. I thought she was very good opposite Mel Gibson in "We were Soldiers."

(Although she seems to have had her lips major-Botoxed for the role which looked quite strange IMO.)

[upcountry miss]

Read the book some time ago. Mort is surely one of the nicer liberals.

[Fledermaus]

Does the actor playing Mort wihine about "tax cuts for the rich"?

[CSXT]

One of the few good guys on the left.

[DOGEY]

Mort is the kind of Democrat that is rapidly disappearing.

[blackie]

Roger that!

[DTogo]

I forget who's playing Kondracke in the movie, but the resemblence was striking. I like Mort.

[Esteemed Scholar Jack Bauer]

i think it's Bruce Greenwood, he played JFK in that one Bay of the Pigs movie with Kevin Costner, the name i can't place.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I'm set to TIVO the show. A rarity for me, since I hardly ever watch CBS.

[marajade]

Thirteen Days and a good movie.

[Xenalyte]

"I accuse you, Morton Kondracke!"

(Name the episode! Bonus points if you ID the speaker.)

[Xenalyte]

Trivia for the day: Madeleine Stowe is married to Brian Benben, who seems to have done absolutely nothing since his HBO series Dream On some 15 years ago.

[Bacon Man]

Sorry, haven't a clue.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Might have to watch it. It doesn't really sound like my type of movie, but Madeline Stowe is one fine looking lady, and as others have said, Mort is one of the few honest, and nice, liberals left. While I know he tilts to port in politics, he's good at calling a spade a spade on FNC when Pelosi or any other RAT goes off the deep end with their rants.

[Xenalyte]

It's from "Hired!", the short just before Manos. It's during the faces montage - you can hear Crow saying, "Good salesman . . . bad salesman!"

Then you see this stern-looking bald guy, and Servo says, "I accuse you, Morton Kondracke!"

[RJL]

"I accuse you, Morton Kondracke!"

The McLaughlin Group, the speaker was Mr. McLaughlin.

[Bacon Man]

Oh I thought it was something from Married with Children! I don't remember hardly anything from Manos except it bored me into a coma.
