Wingnut-disappointing actors VOIGHT, James WOODS, HOPPER

[UTUSN]

O'LOOFAH and LIMBOsevic are doing commercials and endorsements for "An American Carol," which has a cast of wingnuts. This David ZUCKER of Airplane! and Naked Gun movies. What the eff went wrong with him?!1 Or any of these wingnut actors?!1


How do they reconcile their drugged up selves (GRAMMER, HOPPER) with their supposedly upright wingnuttiness?

GRAMMER is not a disappointment, I always detested him. But WOODS was dead-on in his Roy COHN movie, exposing the dead soul of the wingnut and the hypocrisy.

I don't know that NIELSEN is a wingnut, just that his career was boosted by this ZUCKER f***er. WOODS is a longtime wingnut. What the eff happened to HOPPER (to make him a wingnut)?!1 I saw him on the Graham NORTON show a couple of months ago, and, for all his attempt at being an artiste (and artist of the painting sort), he was a dud, no personality, no wit, NORTON ran circles around him. All he had to offer was a couple of druggie tales.

[melody]

1. Anyone notice how the most irreponsible jerk actors become wingnuts?

Hopper, Voight and Grammer all have long and involved drug addiction histories. James Woods is just, well, nuts.

[Freddie Stubbs]

5. But Woods does have a high school named after him in Quahog, Rhode Island

[melody]

6. Yeah, and they tried to name my local school after Frank Zappa

... because he had graduated from there. Zappa wisely turned them down.
lol

[chemp]

11. WHAT!

Where in the hell is Quahog, RI?
James Woods graduated from Pilgrim HS in Warwick, RI.
An old Girlfriend's mom went to the prom with him and told he was all hands and insisted upon "payment" for the night.

40 years in Rhode Island. I have never HEARD of Quahog, RI.

[dysfunctional press]

14. i'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess that you've never seen "family guy"...

it's set in quahog rhode island.

[XOKCowboy]

27. Family Guy is one of the only reasons to own a TV

Love The Simpsons and South Park but I never miss an episode of Family Guy. I can even watch the reruns and laugh. Petah is the Joe SixPack everyone is asking about lately. :)

I was in Vancouver and one of the tourist souvenir shops was half Family Guy stuff. Bobbleheads, shot glasses, everything you find in a curio shop except with a FG character on it. My friend and I went crazy. The best thing I bought was this T-shirt:



It's gotten me kissed quite a few times. The ladies love Stewie!

[dysfunctional press]

117. i have a friend who was way into family guy before i was...

and i was perusing the clearance rack at kohl's, when i found a red pull-over hoody sweatshirt with a pic on the front with peter as che guevera:



it was a 3x- (he's a big guy- but i'm a 2x, and it would have fit me as well) and it was marked down to $7- (kohl's clearance racks can have some GREAT deals) so i bought it and gave it to him- he was thrilled...and now that i've gotten into the show, i'm jealous.

[fujiyama]

122. Quahog is a fictional town

I thought it might be real too until I checked google maps and then Wiki. Granted, Wiki can also be wrong, but for this matter, I figured it's factual and accurate enough.

[Dorian Gray]

121. The Family Guy

It's an animated situation comedy on Fox.

[maxsolomon]

2. when you can't control yourself, you don't think anyone else can, either.

woods also famously claimed to have noticed the 9/11 hijackers on a 'test' flight. but didn't do anything about it.

[Scurrilous]

3. Kelsey Grammer as General George S. Patton?

I smell Oscar!!1!

[Virginia Dare]

4. Gary Coleman as a slave..

and Arab guys named Ahmed and Aziz, Trace Adkins and Bill O'Reilly as themselves, sounds like a laugh riot...:eyes:

[Beausoir]

12. No kidding. WTF?

[Number23]

116. Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, VD?

Gary Coleman as a slave..

This production sounds like it could easily (in the immortal words of Bart Simpson) both "suck" and "blow..."

[JanMichael]

7. I saw the ad for this piece of shit. Made me want to slug them all...

...in the face repeatedly.

[NYCGirl]

8. I'd still do Kevin Sorbo. NT

[noonwitch]

48. Me, too.

Although I always liked Ares, better. Unfortunately, that actor died.

[GreenPartyVoter]

96. Just for a one night stand, and he'll never be quite as hot as Kevin Smith was.

[kas125]

120. Nobody will ever be as hot as Kevin Smith was. That man was

simply gorgeous.

[Lorien]

105. Sorbo is desperate for work

I heard from a friend who knows him that he'll take pretty much any offer that comes his way, so he may not share the ideology of the idiots involved here.

[kenny blankenship]

106. Good to see Kevin Farley is eating too

It's always tough on family when a gravy train that was supposed to run for decades crashes leaving the station. Good for him.

[glinda]

9. Hopper has always been

conservative. I myself found this out when I met him in 1984-5. I was truly shocked at what came out of his mouth as he sat there with his super young wife of the time at an art exhibit. He was far more ignorant than I had ever expected.

[An Intellectual]

10. This hateful movie should be banned; it does nothing to promote social equity.

[WhollyHeretic]

13. Run back under the bridge now.

[An Intellectual]

20. Excuse me? Would you also support a movie trashing gays?

What about a movie trashing blacks? Would you support that, too?

Free-speech ends where hate-speech begins.

You, my friend, support hate.

[WhollyHeretic]

23. Give it up with the freakin' liberal caricature "An Intellectual".

[Forkboy]

26. Not buying it either, huh?

:rofl:

[WhollyHeretic]

28. I know. It's so convincing

:rofl:

I wonder what the next act is?

[An Intellectual]

30. You're incredibly paranoid; it's sad.

There's no tolerance for anyone but centrists in "left-wing" American politics.

Have you noticed that the right-wing doesn't even try to appeal to the center?

[WhollyHeretic]

33. I am very far to the left. Which is why I am against banning a movie just because I disagree with it

Why don't you take your act to another site. It's really pretty sad. Is this the best way to spend your time?

[An Intellectual]

37. Would you support a right-wing anti-black/gay/Jewish/Muslim movie? Look, I'm not opposed to...

... anyone selling this movie online, but displaying hate in a public theater should not be allowed.

[devilgrrl]

34. but don't you feel so much more informed in the company of such an "intellectual"

I feel smarter already!

[AllieB]

104. Oh good, I'm not alone.

:rofl:

Subtle as a sledgehammer...

[judasdisney]

115. I ain't buying it -- especially with the "you're paranoid" response below.

"An Intellectual" -- whatta retard troll idea of a liberal.

[Norwood]

114. Stop it with the holier than thou act,

What about a movie trashing blacks? Would you support that, too?

Free-speech ends where hate-speech begins.

You, my friend, support hate.



Really, you're being way to over dramatic and its not worth getting worked up over this crappy movie.

This movie is tripe and if not for Disaster Movie would easily ne the worst film of the year. Still, its their right to make it and if they found a studio dumb enough to pony up the dough and make it happen hell I say go nuts. Watch it crash and burn at the box office, republicans aren't known for their sense of humor.

That my friend will be much more satisfying.


Edited for spelling errors, its late and I probably should be sleeping.

[rebel with a cause]

17. Are the RW church groups going to buy tickets to this one

to give to their parishioners? Is this going to be a big hit thanks to block purchases of tickets like the other movies packed by the RW/Evangelicals? This looks like trash they would back as the first true family comedy to come out in a long time. :puke:

[pstokely]

21. It will bomb like Baseketball

another

[XOKCowboy]

25. Talk of banning anything goes against everything Democrats stand for

Take your talk of banning elsewhere. It's called Freedom Of Speech and when we go down that road we're no better than they are.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

29. Do you think dinosaurs and people lived at the same time?

Because Sarah Palin does.

[An Intellectual]

31. Of course, I don't(?).

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

32. Do you remember how many houses you own?

Because John McCain doesn't.

[An Intellectual]

35. No one has to convince me that McCain is a racist war-mongering fat-cat.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

36. You know who's stupider that McCain and Palin?

People who vote for them.

[An Intellectual]

38. I wouldn't disagree.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

40. You know who's even stupider than McCain voters?

McCain voters who pretend to be smart among a crowd of people who actually are.

You're out of your league, kid. You're just embarassing yourself.

[An Intellectual]

41. If you support showing hate in a public place, that's fine.

It's a very slippery slope, though; would you support public theaters displaying a Nazi film?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

43. Public theaters?

Again, kid, you're out of your league.

[An Intellectual]

44. I see you dodged the question.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

46. Actually, no. I was mocking your question.

Movie theaters are privately owned.

How old are you?

[An Intellectual]

49. So are radio/TV stations. I assume you're opposed to the Fairness Doctrine?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

52. Radio/TV stations broadcast on public airwaves.

You're comparing apples to oranges.

What does it take to convince you that the people you're arguing with are superior to you in everyway, and aren't taking you seriously?

You're just digging yourself further into a hole.

[An Intellectual]

59. The airwaves are public because the corporations which use them did not create them.

Keeping that in mind, why isn't land public?

You aren't being consistent; you're using libertarian-fascist talking points.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

60. "you're using libertarian-fascist talking points."

Hey, I'm not the McCain supporter here.

"You aren't being consistent"

I'm sorry, I'll get back on track. Was it bad movies you wanted to talk about? Or public theaters? Or the Fairness Doctrine? Or Eminent Domain?

Because you keep changing the subject every time you fail.

[An Intellectual]

62. I'm not failing at all; could you show one instance where I did? You're the one...

... who has failed to answer a single question. I've not dodged anything you've said.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

65. How about the bit where you thought movie theaters were publically owned?

That was a pretty epic fail. You posted it four or five times too.

[An Intellectual]

67. See this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4162404&mesg_id=4162404

It was not an epic fail; it was an excellent point. :)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

69. You know that movie theaters don't use public airwaves, right?

It's simply light projected from a projector onto a large white screen.

See, this is why I asked how old you were.

Do we need a copy of Richard Scarey's "How Things Work?"

[An Intellectual]

70. dupe

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

72. A "dupe" is when you post the same post twice.

I'm assuming you deleted this because it was so embarassing, even by your standards.

You wrote...

"I never stated the movie theaters used public airwaves..."

No, you stated theaters were public. Then brought up public airwaves when we pointed out they were privately owned."

"I stated they used public lands."

No, you didn't state they used public lands, and if you did you'd be wrong, since the land is also privately owned. Or leased from private owners.

[An Intellectual]

74. No, that isn't what I wrote.

I responded to the wrong post. I deleted this one and posted it under your correct response.

Of course, my point went completely over your head (did you even read the other thread?); why are you obsessed with the notion that land is private?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

78. Now you're lying to me?

It is what you posted, I saw it with my own two eyes.

Irregardless, please explain why a movie theater built on land (as opposed to what? Being held afloat by a fleet of helicopters?) makes that movie theater public?

[An Intellectual]

82. Please see the OTHER post; I didn't say "public land" because land is inherently public.

Did you not read the thread to which I linked you?

If possible, could you explain to me exactly where I'm wrong?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4162404&mesg_id=4162404

The airwaves are public because the corporations which use them didn't create them; no one (including them) has more of a right to use the airwaves than anyone else.

Every reasonable person agrees that our airwaves are public; because of this, we can all agree that the government has the right to regulate and ban hate when it comes to the public airwaves (with instruments like the Fairness Doctrine).

Now, what about land? Did corporations create land? Of course not! Why are so many of you afraid to apply the same logic to land? Why isn't land public? Why doesn't the government have the right to regulate whether or not theaters should be allowed to display racist/homophobic/neo-Nazi films?

Thanks. :)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

84. So you're arguing against the first amendment...

because everything's on land, all land is public, and therefore nothing is private?

Did I get that right?

[An Intellectual]

85. Is the Fairness Doctrine opposed to the First Amednment? No. Is that what you're implying?

Until you can explain in what manner my logic (stated above and in my thread) is inconsistent, you can't say that my proposal opposed to the first amendment, either. :)

Would you like to stop dodging and start answering? And yes, the notion of "private property" is mostly unjust for the reasons I've claimed.

[An Intellectual]

71. I never implied that theaters use the airwaves; in fact, I STATED they use land!

Why do you try to mischaracterize my position? Why do you keep resorting to personal insults? How old are you (please stop asking me that)?

[An Intellectual]

76. Oh, I see what happened; threads can't go infinitely deep.

[apocalypsehow]

103. You're not really fooling anyone, know it? n/t.

[Regret My New Name]

98. Is stupider an actual word? I always say 'more stupid', because it seems safer..

[Iggo]

107. I say "stupider"...

...but I also tack on a quantity, depending on how much stupider something is.

Example: I feel four stupider after reading Intellectual's sad attempts at logical keep-away.

[Regret My New Name]

108. Have your tried it with food products?

I feel cake stupider after reading intellectual's sad attempts at logical keep-away.
I feel pie stupider after reading....

It doesn't make much sense, but I'm not a making sense sort of person.

[Iggo]

112. Or modes of transportation....

I feel car stupider after reading intellectual's attempts....

I feel Bike stupider after reading...

I feel luxury yacht stupider...

I think you're onto something. I like it.

[Swamp Rat]

54. OMG

Yadda Yadda Poo!!! LOL

thank you for the laugh!!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

42. You are not fooling anybody. -nt

[An Intellectual]

45. Ok, fine! I support the right of public theaters to show any film, even films by neo-Nazis.

[Forkboy]

51. You're actually starting to get it.

[An Intellectual]

47. What do you think about the Fairness Doctrine?

[Gwendolyn]

56. It's fair.

[An Intellectual]

64. See this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4162404&mesg_id=4162404

[Gwendolyn]

81. Do you think the average middle-aged Republican...

... is going to go see this flick, perhaps consume an XL vat of faux-buttered popcorn and giganto coke while doing so, then be compelled to commit violent attacks on Liberals? If not, there really isn't any cause for concern. Michael Moore is a public figure and therefore open to parody from the other side. Comes with the territory.

[An Intellectual]

83. That's a valid point.

At the very least, could we agree that while the government has the right to ban hateful/racist/homophobic/neo-Nazi films, this one may not be the perfect candidate to ban?

[XOKCowboy]

86. Who makes that decision?

That's the big question. Your idea of hateful/racist/homophobic/etc might be different than mine or anyone else's. I certainly don't want someone like Phyllis Schafly deciding on what I can watch.

Who decides?

[An Intellectual]

87. The same people who should be setting the tax rate! These decisions are for the citizens to decide.

[XOKCowboy]

92. Thank you but I prefer Freedom Of Speech

It's served us well for a century or two. Taxes are one thing. Enforcing moral content on the masses is quite another.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

88. I thought you just said hate speech was OK on-line.

Even though the servers are located on "public" land.

Which is it?

[An Intellectual]

89. You still won't respond to my point, will you? Could you please point out where you feel...

... I'm being inconsistent? Then I'll allow you to change the subject. :)

I could post it again for you!

Here we go:

The airwaves are public because the corporations which use them didn't create them; no one (including them) has more of a right to use the airwaves than anyone else.

Every reasonable person agrees that our airwaves are public; because of this, we can all agree that the government has the right to regulate and ban hate when it comes to the public airwaves (with instruments like the Fairness Doctrine).

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

90. "Look, I'm not opposed to anyone selling this online."

It's upthread.

Do you remember writing it?

[An Intellectual]

91. I'm waiting for you to respond. :) I'll post it again (for the fifth time?).

The airwaves are public because the corporations which use them didn't create them; no one (including them) has more of a right to use the airwaves than anyone else.

[Gwendolyn]

94. There are laws that prohibit the production or promotion of materials...

...that might incite violence, or the harassment of individuals or groups of people. But XOKCowboy is right in that the least amount of interference is best. Otherwise of course, it's the Lenny Bruces' and the pro-gay advocates, the controversial artists and writers who disagree with their governments' policies that are stifled first.

This flick is just rightwinger lite, and hardly fits the bill for inciting violence.

I am disappointed about James Woods though. I always liked his movies.

[Jamastiene]

101. I remember when James Woods claimed to have seen the

hijackers on 9/11 or something to that effect. That is when I started learning about his rightward leaning views.

[WillowTree]

100. Assuming your falacious argument that "all land is public land" was valid...

....(which it isn't) then the Fairness Doctrine would require one of these movies to be shown an equal number of times in every movie theatre that shows a Michael Moore movie.

I'm just sayin'.

[fishwax]

102. dumb suggestion n/t

[bullwinkle428]

15. Holy shit...this thing is even worse than I thought it would be!

Here's an excerpt from the first review I found...

"Liberal? Conservative? Our nation has been split in two; a gangland of citizens who love to bicker over political minutiae, choosing sides with the sort of venom typically reserved for pro wrestling or the finer points of KISStory. However, I think our brittle populace can all agree on one thing: the searing, unyielding pain of an atrocious comedy. “An American Carol” is such a beast, hoping to be the first Conservative-angled production to break free from assured ridicule and enjoy a rich box office life, yet comes staggering to the screen crippled with an absurd agenda, farcical impotence, and necrotic taste in comedic targets.

“Carol” is created with a specific agenda to support the American armed forces, using the Washington and Patton characters (along with John Kennedy) to remain the audience that diplomacy is second only to a strong military hand. The ghosts show Malone (in full “Christmas Carol” fashion) the results of an America without the sacrifice of war, exploring how slavery still exists and visiting a nuked Detroit. Of course, with “Carol” being a zany comedy and all, there’s even a sobering moment spent at the smoldering ruins of 9/11, punctuated with Malone’s head pinballing between two gigantic bells. Shhh, don’t tell Zucker, but I don’t think 9/11 is funny anymore.

“Carol” can whine about Moore all it wants, but I’ll take “Canadian Bacon” over this trainwreck any day of the week. Perhaps made with the best intentions to honor the nation and those who choose to fight for our freedom, “An American Carol” instead reinforces how needlessly divisive our country has become. Certainly there’s a better way to say “Yay America!” than this lousy, hopeless movie, easily one of the worst films of the year. "

http://www.brianorndorf.com/2008/10/film-review-an-american-carol.html

[gratuitous]

22. Oh thank god!

A movie that actually supports the American armed forces. Goodness knows that those poor dears are so put upon, sucking up $0.40 of every federal dollar, having free access to our children, running captive-audience pep rallies for themselves, and receiving the reflexive adulation of 80% of the populace. It's just sooooo trying to be in the armed forces when those pointy-headed libruls keep trying to use "diplomacy" instead of throwing thousands of our nation's youth at things that scare us.

This piece of crap will submerge without a trace within 72 hours of its opening, and be a blot on the resume of anyone associated with it (provided they're stupid enough to put it on their resume).

[spanone]

16. 'right-wing comedy' is an oxymoran

[prayin4rain]

18. Chris Farley's brother is in it!!! He should not dishonor Chris Farley like that n/t

[MaryEllen9399]

19. you think these idiots will cry foul if W is given good reviews?

and is W supposed to be a drama or comedy?

[HughBeaumont]

24. "An American GROAN" is more like it.

I mean . . . are they STILL making fun of Michael Moore? STILL?

?????

This looks like worse than Freidberg/Seltzer garbage. And the fact that they still cannot stop spearing Michael Moore, calling him an "America Hater" (even though I have yet to hear a single quote where he actually SAYS that) makes it doubly shitty. Michael Moore probably knows more about the way government and politics work than all of those dumbshits combined, and is probably 10 times as active in causes.

And Jon Voight can Merry Go fuck himself.

[LanternWaste]

55. My suggestion-- Do your best to

My suggestion-- Do your best to separate the art from the artist, else you limit your scope of film, music, art and poetry.

[bullwinkle428]

61. My impression from the review is that there ain't any "art" within 100 miles of this piece of shit!

[LanternWaste]

73. Just in general... not this piece-of-crap movie

Just in general... not this piece-of-crap movie (which I hazard to call a Film).

As for me, I admire the works of William Buckley, and even see merit in the propaganda pieces by Leni Riefenstahl. Don't agree with their worldview mind you, but see a lot of merit in their work...

[Tutankhamun]

57. Conservatives just aren't funny.

This POS movie reminds me of Faux Noise Channel's "Half Hour News Hour". I tried watching it once a few months ago during its short run. Not funny! It's kind of sad when conservatives try to prove they can be funny and entertaining too.

[Initech]

58. Conservative humor = Amish electrician

[Fleshdancer]

63. It's just a movie

The commercials for it look ridiculous, but what's the point of getting upset over it or judging the actors for doing a job?

[Batgirl]

66. It's pretty rare to find people who work in a creative field on the side of authoritarian dickwads.

Michael Moore representing the forces of eeevil librulism responsible for our nation's problems? :rofl:
An ancient GOP meme that was already encrusted with mold 4 years ago. :rofl:

More irrefutable proof of the wingnut immunity to self-embarrassment.

[edbermac]

68. No advanced previews, I smell a bomb.

:nuke:

[Dr.Phool]

75. Somebody needs to make a movie called "American Jerk-off".

And Bill O'Reilly can play himself as the lead actor.

Or maybe "Anti-American Jerk-Off".

[orleans]

77. it's always weird to think dennis hopper is a republicon.

to think that easy rider was just a sham--his character simply a hippie wannabe--and that dennis has too big of a stick up his ass to be a revolutionary. fake. fraud. conservative.

[bermudat]

79. Gary Coleman as slave...?

The commercials on tv make me cringe. We will see what makes more money, this movie or

'W'.

[Lucian]

80. It's not disappointing. All those actors suck.

[Bake]

93. Look, this movie is going to bomb BIG TIME.

Why? Because the right wing has no sense of HUMOR!! They think insulting other people and other groups is funny.

Would I ban the movie? Hell no. Let them sink a few million into making this piece of shit and watch it bomb at the theaters. In the marketplace of ideas, their little Carol has no worth, and when it bombs, it'll be a long time befoer they make another one like it.

In short, the haters' days are numbered. Let's not endanger free speech by calling for it to be banned. Let THEM be the ones that look like book-burners (did I say LOOK LIKE?) when they call for Maher's new movie "Religulous" to be banned.

Bake

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

95. No liberal would like to BAN the movie, but some right-wingers would like you to think there are.

Even if it means pathetic attempts at impersonation performances.

[KamaAina]

97. Hopefully it will be a huge smash, like Paris Hilton's "The Hottie and the Nottie"

:sarcasm:

La Paris' tour de force grossed an impressive $34,231 on its opening weekend -- less than my annual salary!! :rofl:

[guitar man]

99. Eh, it doesn't bother me

It's all they have left. At this point, I think they know it's all over for their hero* and their ilk for a while, so they've been reduced to a caricature.

There's a friend of my boss that's a big right wing nut, he was in here a while ago all excited about the movie, thought it was cool that they were slapping the Michael Moore character around. I just told him that it was typical lo-brow right wing bullshit, tnat since none of them have ever been able to refute the facts MM has presented, resorting to slapping him around in a movie for the uneducated morons to laugh at was probably the best they would ever do.

109. Bruce Willis has reconciled himself somewhat, Not sure about Gene Simmons...

Willis used to campaign a lot for Bush as a Republican earlier. Now he's switched to a registered independent, and bad mouths him quite a bit.

Gene Simmons was a big apologist for Bush earlier... I'll never go near a Kiss album again (not that they've appealed to me much since childhood anyway)! He seemed to be in character in that B-Movie "Runaway"...

And though Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine of Star Trek fame) once married a wingnut, she's probably one of the most responsible entities besides Barack himself for him becoming our next president!

110. Censorship is inherently wrong.

I disagree with everything the Ku Klux Klan ever says but I'd fight to the end for their right to say it. There is probably no greater threat to liberty than restrictions on expression. About at the point why you have to explain how something that is not yelling fire in the crowded theater in actuality is, is the point where I call bullshit.

111. Well they all have something else in common...

They all produced 2nd rate films.

113. James Woods lied about some arabs/terrorists on an airplane he was in

sometime after 9/11. i don't remember everything but he had some story about it.

118. A few were there to just pick up a paycheck

I suspect that Nielsen and Sorbo were two such guys

However, Davi, Farley, Grammer, Voight and Hopper were making a political statment

119. Don't like it? Let it sink.

That's what it will do. David Zucker is just one more guy who refuses to believe that conservatism is only funny when it is observed.

123. Wow... I've seen none of those movies on that list.

And this latest one will be no different.

It'll be forgotten in no time.
