a person who claims to love America while managing to hate 90% of the people who live in it. It's become literally true.

In that film, they talked specifically about that....how the conservatives campaign about how much they love America while they seem to hate Americans!

Great movie.
Sad Truth that the sentiment still holds true today...really that whole damn movie is still true today - the "conservatives" are hell bent on doing the bidding of their pay masters and have been for a long, long time now!

I wonder if Mad still has those "tri-folds" that you get to read, then when folded, turn into the joke they're talking about.

When you fold it up, and there you have it... the one percent looking like, God knows what.

My only problem was that he didn't make Religulous a stronger statement, but he seems to have really grown claws since then.

In fact you might want to keep them around, give them a spiffey once in a while. You have become a decent comic since you cleared up your timing and if you all get together on you neathderthal to liberal thing for panelists. Then perhaps you have a good program.

I will watch it because by Friday evening I feel I have heard so much garbage on politics that it really is nice to hear someone else who knows how to put it together.

When Bill Maher pointed out that Gringrich had made the statement "New York elitists who ride subways" I thought isn't that everyone who lives in New York. It makes me wonder if Gingrich and others target statements at people who have never traveled and do not about things outside of their own cities.
