"Commander-in-Cheese"...er, "Chief"
Have you seen this show, yet?
Oh brother! If there was ever a shameless attempt to promote a politician and pass it off as entertainment this is certainly it.
I am convinced this show is nothing more than a political campaign ad for Hillary Clinton and it should have a disclaimer at the end: “Paid for by: Friends of Hillary”.
The thin veneer they have put up to attempt to shield the real reason for its existence is, really, VERY thin. One can see behind it in the blink of an eye.
Geena Davis stars as Hillary. Sorry, couldn’t resist! Geena Davis stars as Mackenzie Allen, the President. She is, we are told in the very first episode, an Independent. However, we have not been told how an “Independent” came to be Vice-President under the incumbent Republican President!
Donald Sutherland, stars as the “Mean Ole Republican” who tries to foil everything the wonderful goddess-like Hillary, I mean Geena, does. Oh, he is just SO mean!
Now, if you know anything, at all, about Sutherland you must know that he is a Canadian, and a “Left Wing Liberal Canadian” at that, and certainly no friend to Republicans! If you dare not believe that… ask him! His vitriol toward Republicans will bowl you over. So, these are his credentials. He can REALLY portray the Mean Spirited Republican in “Over the Top Performances”. And he does!
Still not convinced that this show is nothing more that a Political ad? Well, check this out:
Steve Cohen, one of the writers of this “show” was formerly Hillary’s Communications Director while the Clintons were defiling the White House. If you dig a tiny bit deeper you will learn that none other than Hillary’s current Social Secretary is an “Advisor” to the show! Yep! The surprises just keep on a-coming!
This is truly one of those times when I wish the old FCC "Equal Time Rule" was still in effect. It wouldn’t affect the network, since they do not broadcast, but it sure as heck would affect each of their subscriber stations all over the country.
As it is, I would still urge the GOP to hit up the network for equal time and I would also urge the FEC to look into what this show is doing “60 days before the election”.
“OH”, you say. “Longstreet, why are you so exorcised over a TV show? It’s only make believe”! True enough. But so was the Clinton Administration and we are still paying the price for that in places like the Middle East, and in Korea, and the Balkans, and on and on……
Do yourself a favor… watch something else!
“Longstreet”

Does anyone out there actually like republicans? I mean I've heard about them on TV and stuff but do they really exist? Weird.
ReplyDeleteI like Republicans, for example: Ronald Regan, Richard Nixon, Abraham Lincoln, basically all the dead ones.
