Thurston Howell was funny and got off some thinly masked conservative jokes about Democrats.
They all did their part to put together a funny show. In a movie or TV show, I like having a variety of people who have different beliefs. It makes it more interesting. I know some conservatives want only moral people and same beliefs as they do but how boring would that be. I want outrage and disbelief when watching a movie or tv show. If a character is liberal, so be it. Big deal. Sometimes the outrage is hysterical around here.
Anyhoo, the question came up to name a celebrity who is a strong political activist. Forget the exact order but Natalie Schaeffer (Mrs. Howell) said Jane Fonda (#1) Dawn Wells said Robert Redford (#3) and Jim Backus , looking for the #2 answer, said "Ronald Reagan.... God bless him" ;-)
"Good Heavens! A Yale man!"
"Little does that woman realize how hard people work to make me money."
