Last night a brave and insightful documentary was aired that accurately portrayed the wave of ObamaMania that swept the nation. It was called V and aired on ABC to mostly rave reviews and tremendous ratings.
There was another documentary about the Obama campaign on HBO, but that left out a lot of relevant facts, so spaceships and lizard-people aside, ABC wins the veracity award.
The parable is, an attractive group of aliens show up, out of the blue, and offer universal health care, advanced technology and world peace in exchange for our trust and devotion. All we have to do is believe everything they say without question. Which means, dont ask anything about their hidden motives or past associations because that would be racist impolite. In fact, one reporter who is offered an exclusive interview with their leader is admonished not to say anything negative or they would be denied access (Hi, Fox!).

This is not just a right-wing worldview but the worldview of the paranoid Tea Party movement. Im really not sure how this made it onto network television. Maybe the calculation is that Glenn Beck will start urging his viewers to watch and a ratings bonanza will ensue. (I dont expect scientists will be the scapegoats in the new series, as the original V alien campaign to tar scientists as a fifth column sits uncomfortably close to the current right-wing view that the worlds leading scientific organizations are conspiring to suppress evidence that global warming is a hoax.)
Naturally, when a show debuts to huge ratings and mostly great reviews, the producers career is golden. Not this time.

One things certain, I doubt the V would find too many people in this administration very appetizing.

Supergirl.
“They bumped the show locally on Election Night, but for a local sports show. “
That’s odd.
She was on Smallville for a season or 2. No thanks. She looks like a freakin' skeleton.
Wow... Well, here's some chicks more to your liking.
Fine, point taken. But, compare her to the other babes on Smallville. She was the least attractive of any of them. Kristen Kruek and Erica Durance smoke her. Besides, I was more referring to her head than her body. Bulging eyes, sunken cheeks... Yuck.
