Friday at the Movies
Author: wickedpam    Date: 05/04/2018 13:01:38

How many of you remember the movie Protocol? You know the one, Goldie Hawn is a DC cocktail waitress who gets shot in the butt saving a visiting dignitary from an assassination attempt and gets rewarded with a great government job because she is very charming and sweet, if not a bit on the ignorant side. It was one of those little rom/coms from the mid-eighties that despite its wackiness had a good message at the end.



We used to do that, watch the government and our elected offices "like a hawk". Ah, the good old days.

Or what about learning all about how Washington works in Distinguished Gentleman.



Or Wag the Dog, or Bob Roberts, or The American President? What are some other good political comedies that maybe more people should take a look at these days?

“My favorite meat is hot dog, by the way. That is my favorite meat. My second favorite meat is hamburger. And, everyone says, oh, don’t you prefer steak? It’s like, I know steaks are great, but I like hot dog best, and I like hamburger next best.”

— Utah U.S. Senate candidate Mitt Romney ®, quoted by the Washington Examiner.
Hooboy.

If he was in the deep south, I guess he would admit to eating squirrel and possum.

His family's originally from Michigan isn't it? Or was his father just governor there... ahh either way, this qualifies.

Ahh no problem! I forgot how graphic that scene was..

And I don't think she's horrible per se. She was doing what she needed to do to survive, pay her bills & provide for her family. If anything was/is horrible it's the situation that Michigan has been in for 4 decades.

Comment by livingonli on 05/04/2018 16:20:10
It doesn't seem like Mittens thought of running for office in his home state even though his dad was Governor. I think his dad was one of the old Liberal Republicans that no longer exist. Remember when Romney first ran for office against Ted Kennedy, he promised he would be more pro gay rights than Kennedy was.

That's true, it's probably more my pro Rabbit bias showing.

Hello bloggers!!
Don't forget the political comedy "Dave," where a look-alike takes the plave of a dead President.

Her method for killing the rabbit seemed a bit inhumane

Some people would say they're not that far apart.
