Well, no need for elections now, the great Ken Burns has spoken. Smiley can start measuring for the drapes.
I wonder when they’re gonna release some interviews of his high school friends into the fray.

Yes, but who will get the great Rosie O’Donnell and Michael Moore endorsements? Too bad the Pillsbury Dough Boy, Ronald McDonald or the Burger King aren’t running for office...
Follow the money right back to liberal PBS, apolitical my ..a&@.. well we can’t say that here.
What makes this nitwit think Obama is a “leader?”
Could he name ONE time Obama has ever demonstrated leadership in any shape or form?
He’s a completely blank slate upon which many are projecting their dreams - without a shred of evidence.
Say that headline 3 times real fast.
..jeeezzz, where ya been for 15 years?
Well’ it’s all over now.
they most certainly color his work same Speilbergs or DePalmas do theirs
God bless the Cohen bros
I’m not surprised that white liberals living in affluent white rural New Hampshire towns support the liberal black candidate. I remember the same thing happening among libs I knew when Jesse Jackson ran for Prez in 1988.
New Hampshire demographics, 2005 (NH is first value, USA is second value):
White persons 96.1% 80.2%
Black persons 1.0% 12.8%
American Indian and Alaska Native 0.2% 1.0%
Asian persons, percent, 2005 (a) 1.7% 4.3%
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander 0.0% 0.2%
Persons reporting two or more races 1.0% 1.5%
Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin) 2.2% 14.4%
White persons not Hispanic 94.1% 66.9%
Only because Lenin wasn’t running, I think.
“Anyone still think Burns is apolitical? Anyone think his viewpoints
don’t color his films?”
He made “The War” the sort of film that will have millions of high
school students either nodding off after about 10-15 minutes...
or imploring the history teacher “PLEASE! Can we just go back to
your rote lecture format?”
Well, I feel better knowing which candidate Burns is supporting. This news is hugh!

Can Burns tie his shoes? Gotta give him credit - with these pathetics running in this corrupt “Two-Party Cartel” except for Tancredo & Hunter, Paul, the rest are compromised.
That’s it? No 15 hour documentary explaining how and why?
I expected a little bit more from Ken Burns.
No one is completely apolitical, and your viewpoints are bound to seep into anything you do, but my impression is that at least Burns lets opposing viewpoints make their case, and you can’t say fairer than that.
The “Civil War” was very good (even though the Union side gets more air time).
what a surprise. I haven’t watched anything of his since Mario Cuomo was somehow the most appropriate person to tell us about baseball. And his favorite moment of the Civil War series was the historian who questioned whether we can truly say the Civil War is over when there are Americans who live in houses and there are Americans who are homeless and to see her struggle with that issue.
