TD - Run, don't walk, and rent "Being There." A very insightful movie and a comic masterpiece, IMHO.

Well shit.

I thought it was Barack Obama before they took the bowl off of his head and painted him black.

That is the original Sarah Palin.

I just figured it was an English gay man (is that PC?) with an old style TV remote control. How about a break from that guy Finn. Maybe try the old Marlboro man, or a pic of the Duke even. It would make me take you a little more seriously. I don't mean that to be insulting, just sayin...........

It used to be comical, it's revealing today.

As most things, it's probably just over my head.

Still creeps me out though.

Do as Pat suggested and rent the movie, it really is required viewing to a political junkie such as yourself. (all of us)

This guy is an idiot. He didn't even fact check enough to find out Palin never said what he claims she did.

Of course his audience is not much smarter as they don't know either.

Wonder what they would think if I told them that through the cold war we actually had Soviet citizens (fisherman) docked in port and roaming the land at will. Full on commies on American soil right there in Alaska.
