Paul Manafort is Tim Wattley, aka Leonidis Stavros, aka The Greek Butcher, aka The Greek Baker.....

.....aka The Greek Candlestick Maker, aka Dermot Mulroney, aka Osama Getting-Laiden.

Okay, a little bit of an obscure reference unless you saw the movie "The Campaign". But I figured I'd throw it out anyways.

Stupid funny at certain points a la Step Brothers, but still funny. And believe it or not, it actually raises some good points regarding both the ridiculousness of American politics as well as campaign financing. (Two of the characters are directly inspired by the Koch Brothers).

"You get my son to call you "dad", I f*ck your wife!"

"This is America!"

"You do not have to live in Rainbowland! It does not exist!"



Basically, it sums up every phony non-issue meant to scare gullible people. I can't help but think of people who insist without any genuine evidence there are creeping efforts to install Sharia Law in America whenever I see that part.
