Is MTP taped in advance? If she screws up -- will the screwup be edited out?

We must remember, Mrs. Wizard of "is" doesn't think very well on her ankles --er-- feet. (Come to think of it, she doesn't think very well prostrate, either.)

Film Noir in the White House
by Mia T
"Read my future." - "You haven't got any."
--Exchange in Touch of Evil between Orson Welles and Marlene Dietrich (as a gypsy fortune teller)
 
 
 
 
Leni Riefenstahl, the film genius who outmaneuvered propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels to chronicle Hitler's 1934 Nuremberg rallies in perhaps the most notorious documentary ever filmed, Triumph of the Will, symbolizes the naïve actress and director who is induced to deal with devils -- Nazi-pantalooned then. . . nasty, pantless (or pantsuited) now . . .
 
After the war, Riefenstahl excused her effort as pure documentary -- watch for Streisand, Spielberg, Geffen et al. to do the same one day -- yet she compiled one section, Hitler's motorcade to Munich, from several different events and shot the closeups of Nazi leaders at the podium in a staged studio sequence.
 
As Riefenstahl told it, editing-to-perfection was crucial. She insisted that the finished quality of Triumph of Will came from her editing, not from any imposition of "posed shots" or choreography on her part. With her innovative editing techniques, Riefenstahl deliberately and selectively aestheticized Hitler and the Congress' proceedings. By editing out a shot of Hitler wiping his nose and including instead "more interesting expressions,"by eliminating the human, Riefenstahl, in the case of Hitler, eliminated the inhuman.
 
The only difference today, in this era of ubiquitous cameras, continuous news and the shameless auteur-tyrant, is that the useful-idiot Washington Press Corps, spun by and on the Hollywood-Arkansas Axis, edits out the clintons' inhumanity (and ineptitude) in real time. . .

See if you can get the transcript of the program. I need a day without headlines about the junior senator from New York. There must be other senators that the press could be talking about, but they don't! The jsfNY loves the military so much she won't let anyone in uniform or wouldn't, be around her. I bet the whole thing is on the women in Afghanistan; the men and boys were dragged out of their homes and shot if they wouldn't join the Taliban; bet you won't hear much about that, just the women. The jsfNY will be using the War on terrorism to gain some publicity - on the backs of our men and women in the service. She is a fraud!

Well, we are in the Central Time Zone,so most everything we get from the alphabet News networks, (except FOX and CNN (barf), are taped.

Wondering if anyone will ask Hillary why they chose a New York Architect to design the Clinton Library in Arkansas?

Could someone please ask Hillary if she thinks the Library looks like a "covered airplane loading ramp"...or if it's intended to look that way in preparation for the now retired "Air Force One" to call home?
