Personally Hairy and Nancy Pelosie are two ugly looking dudder Prunes.
For those who have not seen the 1951 movie People Will Talk with Cary Grant, Jeanne Crain, Hume Cronyn it reminds me a lot of Hairy Reid and the Democrats.
Movie quotes:
Doctor Noah Praetorius: Professor Elwell(AKA HAIRY REID), you are the only man I know who can say ‘malignant’ the way other people say ‘Bingo!’.
Professor Barker: Elwell (AKA HAIRY REID), you can use more words more unpleasantly than any irritating little pipsqueak I’ve ever known!
Shunderson: Professor Elwell (AKA HAIRY REID), you’re a little man. It’s not that you’re short. You’re...little, in the mind and in the heart. Tonight, you tried to make a man little whose boots you couldn’t touch if you stood on tiptoe on top of the highest mountain in the world. And as it turned out...you’re even littler than you were before.

Here is an excerpt of a review by By Ugur Akinci
“This is such a curious and astonishing film that it’s hard to decide whether it’s a classic gem or a bungled effort to deliver a number of political messages through the “motion picture” format.
Directed and written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz (adapted from a play by Curt Goetz), the film features the university doctor Prof. Noah Praetorius (played by the eternally suave and smooth Cary Grant), a mysterious, mischievous and mystical doctor who not only cures his patients through unorthodox means (which would perhaps be called “Human-Centered New Age Approach” in 2006) but apparently even brings them back from the dead!
This of course does not sit well by his insanely jealous colleague Professor Elwell (AKA HAIRY REID) who tries to debunk Praetorius’s credentials throughout the movie and thus provides the classic Protagonist-Antagonist dramatic tension line. But that’s only one of the plot lines running from one end of this multi-tasking plot to the other.
Another most memorable character is Mr. Shunderson (Finlay Currie), a white-haired and silent elderly man who shadows Praetorius as his side-kick and servant wherever they go. He is like Praetorius’s shadow and Professor Elwell is pretty sure he is a screen hiding something unsavory in Praetorius’s past.
At every opportunity throughout the film we are treated to a lecture by Praetorius on how misdirected the modern science has become by forgetting the human essence of medicine and instead focusing on methods, measurements and machines. His symbolic act of pressing a candy into the palm of everyone he meets is a visual reminder of the role of kindness, human touch and plain “sweetness” play in his approach to curing others. He is the kind of handsome and optimistic doctor that most patients fall in love with, some, like Higgins, literally.
The last long sequence of the movie (Act Three) is devoted to the trial of Praetorius by a university committee to see if the rumors are true and if he has violated any academic rules by hiding any sordid details of his past. The discipline committee hearing takes place while the university orchestra is waiting in the jam-packed concert hall for Praetorius to show up at the podium and pick up his baton. Yes — the multi talented Praetorius happens to be the conductor of the university’s symphony orchestra as well.
The hearing comes to a conclusion with Shunderson showing up in person and spoiling Prof. Rodney Elwell’s character (AKA HAIRY REID)assassination by telling his story. It turns out he has spent 15 years in jail for being falsely accused of killing his best friend who, while he was in prison, had a good time with Shunderson’s girlfriend.”
Did any other Senators denounce Reid’s lying comments and tell the real story? Where the hell are the guys on our side? You never see them stand up and defend our positions on anything. Man, I’m really getting pissed.....
