All three networks on Wednesday previewed Robert Mueller’s “historic” testimony before Congress with an excited and nervous tone, wondering if this “movie” version of his report could save the impeachment hype. Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopoulos wistfully hoped that Mueller might turn out to be like famous High Noon star Gary Cooper.
CBS journalist Major Garrett began the film comparisons by touting Democratic talking points: “The Democrats have a theory, Gayle, which is ‘No one read the book, maybe they’ll watch the movie.’ Which is today. This is the movie.” Using remarkably similar language, ABC’s Cecilia Vega combined the movie comparison with a book on tape: “One analogy I read yesterday that said people aren't reading the book but they will watch the movie. They will listen to this book on tape.”
ABC’s Stephanopoulos even tried to cast the Mueller Report movie with a star from the silver age: “So much of this then is in Mueller's hands.... If you talk about a movie does he choose to be Gary Cooper or does he choose to kind of continue to kind of be as indistinct as he was in the report?”

Instead they got “Mister Dithers goes to Congress.”
Mueller chose to be Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond instead.
Stephanopoulos? Someone needs to bitch-slap that little sh$t.
Gary Cooper was a staunch conservative. Today’s Hollywood would make him vomit.
To even associate Coop with these commit f*cks is hilarious. This is a dude that basically called-out FDR for being a stinking commie. And decided the New Deal as “foreign ideas” they were counter to real American ideals. Yeah. Go ahead. Invoke Gary Cooper you morons!
wasn’t gary cooper queer? if so- no wonder stephie got all excited
More like Peter Sellers in Being There.
or was it randolph scott/ Heard somewhere ocne once of them was- or thought to be
What they actually got... “Gary Stupor”. Seeing Mueller live makes one wonder.... Why didn’t Trump fire him?
The man is an incompetent boob!
Not to surprising, his father was a rock ribbed old fashioned conservative and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Montana.
The Democrats have committed an egregious error putting Mueller under oath and in front of a Television audience...to be cross examined.
More like Peter Sellers in Being There.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, that’s it.
(and a great movie)
Yeah, that was what I was thinking....Being There scene toward the end and Peter Sellers totally lost.
“wasn’t gary cooper queer?”
according to a spiteful, jealous, druggie.
I think it mighta been randolph scott that i heard it about- but looking up cooper- there were rumors about him and howard hughes- but cooper’s daughter said cooper ‘liked when people thought he was gay’ - not sure why he liked that- but i think cary grant said that or something similar too- maybe because it got them more attention or something-
Who knows- there were always rumors about most of the stars-
who claimed he was? what druggie?
Duke Wayne’s Best role yet.......TRUMP.45!
GunnyG@PlanetWTF?
Semper TRUMP!
