First, I’ve yet to get my check from that cheapskate Soros.

Second, why is it better to accept untold millions in contributions from Big Oil and War Profiteers and Big Pharmacom and the Insurance lobbies than it is to accept a few millions from some Hollywood hasbeens.

I guess conservatives need something to bitch about to feel better about their own pathetic self loathing lives.

Equally likely is that they need to point at someone else so that they distract from the back door dealings on their own team. I figure that’s why they made such a big deal out of William Jefferson’s $90k freezer but nobody’s mentioned the $300 million dollar Gravina Island Bridge that Ted Stevens wanted.

Or perhaps we’re just back to the 30th Amendment ‘It’s ok if a Republican does it’.

Might I recommend ‘The Last Castle’ with Redford?

… or The Horse Whisperer … my wife’s favorite …

I like a couple of his “CIA” flicks: Three Days of the Condor with Faye Dunaway & Cliff Robertson and Spy Game with Brad Pitt.
