Yes, immediate paranoia about whether it was Sinclair, Paramount - these days ICE, food, war, goons - unreasonable to be paranoid? I think not. Yet it turns out that my local station is affiliated directly with ABC.
Senator KELLY did not disappoint.

In this picture, nothing like what I remember from October '67. Yes horse and people drawn vehicles, but all downtown paved streets. The "hotel" itself was a transit barracks for us arriving at tan sa nhut air base (air port?) to stay at en route to our duty station. It was also an R&R (if recovering from actual combat can be called recreation) place for front line Marines and Army to rest for a week or so (lots of PTSD yelling at night). My stay right out of Boot Camp was a couple of weeks while my ship was located. It had been a French hotel and even all cleared out inside was still impressive, polished floors and a grand staircase, the military accoutrements being multiple sets of metal bunk beds per open space. But to the point, the rules were posted and drilled into everybody, no politics.

Thanks for the picture, I definitely recognize it.
A hotel in Vietnam was used to house rescued WWII American POW's from a Japanese camp depicted in the movie The Great Raid, I wonder if this is the hotel.
Gonna have to do a little bit of research.

.... In popular culture
The hotel features prominently in Graham Greene's novel The Quiet American and in its two film adaptations in 1958 and 2002. It also features in Don Winslow's novel Satori.
The Continental also is a central locale in the 1992 film Indochine.

Some of his policy positions may be a little less far-left than some here would like. But those positions just might make him a very viable POTUS or VP candidate in the swing states we would need to carry.
A dream ticket might be Kelly-Newsom or Newsom-Kelly. Two white males, obviously, but very different styles to appeal to different constituencies.
