"I'm Denny Crane. I'm the biggest ass..." -9/30/2005

I tried to watch the season opener. It shows Spader and Captain Kirk walking down the sidewalks, in black suits and shades, like Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, with the theme from "Peter Gunn" blasting. They stop in the middle of the street. Spader looks at the Captain, and says, "we look great, don't we?"... They continue on the sidewalks, shoulders together, and force a lady to walk around them.

What a waste of time. I tried, but only made it twenty minutes into the show. After watching the Captain repeatedly ogle, and drool over, Heather Locklear (the real reason I was watching), I decided I needed to trim my toenails...

but there is little in it to explain why Kerry lost

I have a theory: Could it be that Bush got more votes?

no way the DNC would have allowed this film to come out w/o Hitlery's blessings.

As a farmer once told me.."Pigs, without supervision, will eat their own"

That and he was an empty suit with all the personality of a dead horse. How loveable! ;-)

RE post 34 - hilarious! Thank goodness we can laugh harder at him now - last year when there was still a chance that idiot might have been elected president, it would have been a mix of funny and frightening.

Hmm, the author's main thrust seems to be that the film is so bad and so uninformative that it shouldn't be watched. No red meat here folks, just move on.

I think Kerry's people (and democrats in general) are so up in arms over this thing because it shows the inner workings of a democratic campaign first hand with it's stresses on appearances, doubletalk, pettiness and inanity. I'm betting it blows the lid off the perception of democrats as the "people party" and shows them for what they are: people who inhabit a different plane than the rest of us.

I'm really interested to see the small, but telling details of Kerry the man that you would expect to see reflected in the personalities he chose to surround himself with. I'll bet the entire, required democratic retinue was there in force:

- Cringing Yes-men, eager to please the "Great Man"
- Crawling, self-effacing bootlickers
- The team that created the Bubble in which an already-isolated Kerry became even more isolated from reality.
- The Enforcer whose job it was to keep the embarrassing personalities from Kerry's past from making contact with the candidate or from speaking publicly in support of him.
- Snivelling ex-hippies obsessed with soy milk and enviornment-friendly office products.
- Bitter women who became lesbians because of their unattractiveness to men and who still can't get other lesbians to date them, and so who have an awful lot of free time to devote to lost causes.
- Grateful affirmative action hires
- the diversity props.
- Anal-retentive European press monitors.
- The crowd that spends their day trying to condense "We need the support of the international community" down to a four-word catchphrase that can be chanted rhythmically at an anti-war rally.
- The race traitors who sell their own people out for their own personal benefit.
- The comittee that somehow selected John Edwards after spending weeks analyzing demographic and focus group data, only to pick the democratic party's answer to Dan Quayle.
- The spinmeisters that agonized for months trying to morph "Brand X" Kerry into "New and improved Super Kerry".
- The man who had to medicate Ter-Ay-Zuh every once in a while to get her to shut up.
- The person who gleefully told Kerry that this week's jibberish was even better than last week's.
- The misery ferrets who crawled through every slum in the country seeking the perfect example of conservative insensitivity.
- The diversity police who scanned every utterance of the President and his staff looking for words like "black", "latino", "gay", etc in the hopes they could find just the right quote to use out of context.
- The "Wrangler" who suppplied the press with enough alcohol and hookers to keep them compliant.
- The legion of semi-incontinent, overly-sensitive reflex gaggers who cringe and wail at the very hint of logic and who are paraded in front of cameras to illustrate "the mainstream of America".
- The photgenic welfare queens.
- The idiot who coined the phrase "pass the global test" and who prior to the campaign had been arrested for scrawling women's phone numbers on men's room walls.
- The platoon of make up artists charged with putting a new shade of lipstick on the same old pig every day.
- The speech coaches who tried to teach Kerry how to say nothing while appearing to say something.
- The body language experts who tried to make Kerry look convincing while saying nothing, and who got him to revive the "Clinton thumb-point".
- The scummy private detectives.
- The person who made sure that JFK had at least 62 Vietnam references per day, even when visiting a day care center or getting a cavity filled at the dentist.
- The bag men stationed to collect cash at every event.

I could go on and on, but what would be the point?

It makes me mad that the left and their media "news" arm almost got this clown elected just because they didn't like Bush. Have they never heard of not changing to something else, just for they sake of changing?

Why is the candidate picking these nits when he's got bigger fish to fry? ....the truth is that they all do this: Candidates focus on the little stuff because it helps them feel in control.

...in control

"John, the public just *loves* war heroes! And at the convention, we're gonna play that to the hilt!"

Considering the convention performance and the result, that was certainly an eerily prescient choice of words!
