Green Acres: The Political Thriller
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 08:24 AM by Kelvin Mace
Since Hollywood seems unable to make anything new, it continues to remake TV series from the 1970's (like, "The Dukes of Hazzard") best forgotten. Here is my suggestion for the casting for the inevitable "Green Acres" movie:

Oliver Douglas - John McCain
Lisa Douglas - Arianna Huffington
Eb - Tucker Carlson
Mr. Haney - Tom Delay
Mr. Kimball - George W. Bush
Mr. Ziffel - C. Everett Koop
Arnold Ziffel - Rush Limbaugh (We'll take him off the oxycontin to fatten him back up)
Sam Drucker - James Carville
Alf the plumber - Andrew Sullivan
Ralph the plumber - Mary Cheney

New theme song by France:

Shall we write the script?

3. Yeah, my wife suggested that
but I couldn't resist a "fat joke" at Limbaugh expense.

2. Alf and Ralph were carpenters. Floyd Smoot - Karl Rove
Conductor of The Cannonball.

Mr. Haney: (Introducing 'Haney's House Sitting Service') Mr. Douglas, for the small sum of $50 a day, my wife and I will move into your house, eat your food, drink you liquor and make sure your barn doesn't burn down.

5. Yes, you are correct
If they were plumbers it would have been G. Gordon Liddy in drag and E. Howard Hunt (what was it with these guys and initials?)

6. Background: We open onthe swank Connecticut home of a
frustrated to-be oil tycoon.

A call is received from said oil tycoon's father:

"Son, you're a failure. I can't bail you out anymore. Get a REAL job."
Dad hangs up, Jr begins to think:
"Politics! I'll go into politics."

Enter Lisa: "But, dahlink, you can't win in Connecticut."

"I know that, but I could win in Texas--that's it! The simple country life is just the ticket. Pack your bags, Lisa, we're goin' ta Texas--see, I'm alreadeh gettin' the accent!

I'm gonna buy us a RANCH (little does he know it really isn't--save for a future episode...)!

They'll LOVE me!"
