Brad adds: I can’t get enough of the words “Ex-President George W. Bush.” It’s not as nice as “Imprisoned Former President George W. Bush” or “Excommunicated President George W. Bush,” but it will have to do.

PeeJ – it’s from a movie called Idiocracy, summarized at IMDB thus:
Joe Bauers, an Army librarian, is judged to be absolutely average in every regard, has no relatives, has no future, so he’s chosen to be one of the two test subjects in a top-secret hibernation program. He and hooker Rita were to awaken in one year, but things go wrong and they wake up instead in 2505. By this time, stupid people have outbred intelligent people; the world is (barely) run by morons–and Joe and Rita are the smartest people in America.

Idiocracy, a film by Mike Judge (of Beavis & Butthead/Office Space infamy), basically about Cyril Kornbluth’s short story The Marching Morons. That figure in the center is President Dwayne Eliando Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho!!!!!, (also former twelve-time Smackdown1 champion, I think).
He was basically the best thing about the movie.

Xecky – you know, after watching it the first time I thought, “ok, there was some really funny stuff in there, but it’s not a great movie.” But since then, it’s continued to grow on me. Probably still not a great movie in the sense of award-worthy, but funnier than most of the “comedy” movies put out there.

Idiocracy just scores high on the Lebowski Anti-Narrative Meter — the ratio of memorable characters, scenes, and lines to notability of the plot. Could also be named the Seinfeldometer, but I think TBL deserves the nod for being a film.
If a movie is impossible to describe meaningfully without resorting to quotes, you probably have a movie that’s high-scoring on the LANM. Which, I guess, is a good and a bad thing depending on the actual film and your personal taste.

Well, sort of. Fox totally buried it, quite deliberately, and it was held up with some lawsuits for a time — I believe Starbucks, Fuddruckers and one other had problems with it — and it was released with no screenings and no ad campaign whatsoever.
It wasn’t really to hush up a dissenting voice, but Fox did the absolute bare minimum to meet their end of the deal… which is not as uncommon as you might think for a movie studio to do. See also: Midnight Meat Train.

I think t4toby won the thread.
Idiocracy was a fantastic idea, marred by sub-par execution. It had great scenes, great lines (“I thought his head would be bigger”), but it failed to hold together.
It was funny, but it should have been a hundred times better than it was.
It was nice to see “Michael Bolton” in another movie, though.
Ken Lowery said,

BRAWNDO: THE THIRST MUTILATOR said,
January 21, 2009 at 1:23
Brawndo! It’s like a monster truck you can bar into your face! It’s got electrolytes! What are electrolytes? I don’t know, but they’re extremely awesome and Brawndo is full of them! They help plants grow, which is why you should drink Brawndo and not water because water comes from the toilet and I’ve never seen plants grow out of the toilet! It’s got caffeine; super-extra caffeine! And five kinds of sugar, which makes it delicious and much better than other energy drinks which are not delicious!!! It will make you wonder why you haven’t ever crushed a human skull with your bare hands! But you won’t have to because you already know that Brawndo tastes how that would feel! I just split my pants like the Incredible Hulk! See that!? Brawndo will make you need new pants! And while you’re out buying pants you’re going to need to buy new shoes because you’ll wear out your old shoes by kicking everyone’s butt all the time. Brawndo will make you want to kick everyone’s butt all the time, which might be good or bad but either way you’ll win because Brawndo will make you win at things you’re not even supposed to win at, like yelling. Brawndo will make you WIN AT YELLING! Or maybe you’ll win at something else, like jumping or waving. You’ll wave your hand really fast, and you might become invisible, which doesn’t even make any sense. You’ll probably end up running somewhere, which is good if you like running, but even if you don’t Brawndo will make you win at exercise. It will make you use your fists for everyday tasks like television, or romance, or helicopter repair and maintenance. It’s like a dinosaur attached to a rocket ship! It’s made of 100% concentrated rage. You can tell when you open the can because it’s extremely loud and by loud I mean tasty! IT’s like shaving your chest with a lawn mower! It’s as dangerous as riding a pony, which might sound not dangerous except the pony is 300 feet tall and covered in chainsaws. And to get to the top of the pony you have to ride an elevator with 16 lion-cougars which is actually a real sport in Latin America. It’s like a locomotive full of screaming babies crashed into an aircraft carrier and the aircraft carrier is on fire, which sounds really exciting because fire is very exciting, but it’s not as exciting as Brawndo because Brawndo is more exciting than a fist fight with a grizzly bear. It’s like driving an ice cream truck full of angry bees to a petting zoo, which is a great way to become popular if you want to become popular with law enforcement! It will make you more awesome at English. You’ll become so good at english that you’ll be able to put apostrophes in words like nuclear which don’t even have an apostrophe yet. Brawndo; because you can’t drink a car battery.

I figured the people I was reading were a bit on the hysterical side, but the idea that genuine corporate bastards would find the film unflattering and try to hold it up is not at all surprising.
I know Fox has also done that kind of thing to its own TV shows i.e. no promotion, shuffling the show time every week, &c.

Ehh, I liked Office Space, but Mike Judge is just lucky Stephen Root exists. Also, I think I liked Office Space as much as I did because by the time I got around to seeing it, I wasn’t working in offices anymore and had pretty much burned that bridge.
True unrelated: Stephen Root received one of three honorary doctorates from the University Of North Alabama given by said institution during my brother’s stay there in the late ’90s. The other two were Ernest Borgnine and George “Goober” Lindsey. At the time, UNA had no doctorate programs. My brother worked for a sound company and he said, of the three, Root was the funniest. The others were nice and personable, he said, but both were deaf as posts.

I’m surprised this film’s not getting much love. Sure, it’s not award fodder but it really is fantastic! So many good lines, good characters, scenes, sight gags…It even underscores how power in the wrong hands is dangerous.
And its the kind of movie that gets better with repeat viewings as you catch more jokes. My favorite scene (it really is a tough pick) is the view out of the hotel window of the jet skiiers on the reflecting pool. I laughed my ass off the first few times I saw that, never noticing until the third viewing that the Washington Memorial in the background is seriously askew. But maybe I’m slow and my love for this movie is indicative!
Oh man, I think I’m going to have to watch it again tonight. Love Love Love.

First of all, it’s a myth. The media never “savaged” Laura Bush, her daughters, or Palin. They’ve kept hands off the Bushes, and Palin, well, she simply allowed her true character to shine.
And as for bloggers or commenters, there’s nothing that any liberal blogger or commenter has ever said about Pickles, Palin or the daughters that matches the ugliness and viciousness the right visited on Hilary as First Lady. Nothing.

My understanding is that the first cut of the movie is much different than what eventually survived. Lots of parts cut out, the narrator added, etc. Doesn’t surprise me.
I still think of Clevon every time I read something about Levi Johnston. “Clevon is lucky to be alive. He attempted to jump a jet ski from a lake into a swimming pool and impaled his crotch on an iron gate. But thanks to advances in stem cell research and the fine work of Doctors Krinsky and Altschuler, he should regain full reproductive function again.”
I also picture the Gitmo trials thusly:
“Judge Hank “The Hangman” BMW: Now prosecutor, why you think he done it?
Prosecutor: ‘Kay. Number one your honor, just look at him. And B, we’ve got all this, like, evidence, of how, like, this guy didn’t even pay at the hospital. And I heard that he doesn’t even have his tattoo.

Personally, what makes me happy about this is that Michelle Obama is one of a minority of First Ladies who occupy the position owing to something more than looking the right way at the right time. For some reason, this animates the savage anger of the right-wing diskobox like nothing else, and so they spin up this giant web of bitchy shifty cuntiness, and she’s so mean and she’s a racist and she’s probably a dyke and blah blah blah blah blah.
The one thing I consistently appreciate about Obama is that he and his are pretty good at understanding the mistakes of those that came before them. Of course, the right’s characteristic impatience didn’t do them any favors – they threw out the vaguely credible false accusations (a radical past, a grudge against Whitey, and so the fuck on) long before it came to the point that they’d insinuate themselves into the public consciousness without anyone noticing. That’s why, unlike 1992, 90% of discussion about Michelle Obama has to do with the ensemble, 10% of it has to do with the chemistry, and 0% – outside, evidently, of the bwogodrome – is about what a racist affirmative action princess she obviously is.
But even if they do manage to pull off the same ink-cloud of FUD that they managed to drown the Clintons in, the Obamas fight smarter.
Nota bene for Acey-poo: Palin got savaged for buying expensive clothes for her entire family with staffer and taxpayer money, you myopic walking taint. Nice try, though! Keep at it, and maybe there will be microphones in earshot when you perfect a particularly witty essai à dire la verité au pouvoir about how Malia looks like a mule.

What others have said–this is the attacks on Hillary Clinton redux. What’s different here is that Michelle doesn’t threaten them in the same way–there’s no indication that she’ll have any influence on policy, or that her public face will be anything more than the usual symbolic and ceremonial stuff. So the whole “ballbreaker” thing doesn’t seem to be in play. Can you guess why they really hate her?

Anyhow, as was my wont in those years, I had eaten a bunch of mushrooms about an hour beforehand and was thoroughly digging the experience. I was even enjoying the teenaged redneck couple behind me, because they were young and in love and neither really got the bulk of the movie. There were about 30 people in the theatre. Perhaps it was late in the run, perhaps it was an off-day attendence-wise, I don’t quite remember and, frankly, don’t think it’s germaine to the story.
Eventually, the giant clitorus shows up and, for whatever reason, the place is silent as a tomb, when Redneck Boy says, and I quote, “That don’t look like no clitorus.”
Without missing a beat, Redneck Girl says, and I quote, “Oh, like you would know”, and I swear, y’all, I have never heard 30 people laugh harder or longer than I did that afternoon.

And the South Park movie was brilliant.
My wife and I basically dared each other to go see that movie when it was in the theaters. We went to it, expecting to hate it, and in spite of ourselves had a great time with it. The Saddam Hussein stuff was dumb, but the lyrics were tons of fun and the tunes catchy – for weeks I found myself singing “They may cut your dick in half / and serve it to a pig / and though it hurts, you’ll laugh / and dance a dickless jig.”
So yes, I agree the movie was brilliant but I wish I didn’t think so, somehow.

My own favorite moment of talkback in a movie theater:
Many years ago, I was watching “Superman 2″(back in the Christopher Reeve days), and it’s the scene where he and Lois Lane are in the bedroom about to consummate their relationship. This with the understanding that Superman is forever giving up his super powers in order to be with this woman. From the back of the theater a wag pipes up: “This better be good”.

I have had a project in mind for some time: start up a hyper-Anglowhiggish blog, you know, the kind that asks tough questions like whether the people of Hungary – which was on the wrong side in all four world wars – can really be trusted.
I think it would be relatively trivial to pull it off, and there would be major bonus points involved if it could be used to launch continuous, blistering attacks on (a) the American people and way of life and (b) opponents of Patriotism.

They also want me to know I really need to start popping out them grandbabies before Mommaw dies, because 12 in the family just ain’t enough. And Mommaw doesn’t give a damn.
Ever hear any of his records? I’ve never seen ‘em.
No, but I got a file of the Fish Story somewhere. It got him on “Hee-Haw” and I think it’s fucking hilarious, but I can’t imagine how it translates to anyone who wouldn’t know what a “live well” or “minner bucket” was in the first place.

last time i felt the pride i felt today as i listened to Obama being sworn in, was when, as an eight year old child in june of 1963, i had the privilege of attending a small rally in which i saw JFK in person and heard him speak….long time between those “proud to be an american” moments…..
i listened to the swearing in on pbs in my vehicle….i appreciate that one of the commentators whispered, as the ensemble played, something to the effect of “it is now 1 minute past noon, bush is now former pres. bush…”….i cried with relief…..seriously….
rough road ahead, but at least we have a president who is intelligent and thoughtful, so i have confidence that he will do the best he can with the mess he was handed…a real plus is that he can string together words in such a way that they actually make sense……
thanks for letting me say that……please go back to teh funny……

Mister Mayor Defaulted’s Noble Pear Pate
All you do is get spinefoot and put cinnamon and basil on top of it before pating it. That – putting those seasonings on top – is the secret. Sugar the meat, then put it on top of some weasel toe. Put pear (at all grocery stores, make sure to get this pear too) over top of it. Put it in the microwave for 90 seconds. You can add to it whatever you want. Some people put a layer of plum on it and just eat it like that. I chop up castle cheese, chocolate and Urgelia cheese and put them on top, as well as alfonsino skull. WARNING: You will never be able to order spinefoot at a restaurant or bar ever again, as they simply won’t measure up to the ones you can make at home.

The news cameras seemed to be doing their best to avoid him, but for me, the cherry on today’s Happy Sundae was the expression on Chief Just-Us Roberts’ face. I think he “flubbed”, ie, fvcked up the oath because he was too busy thinking “Should’ve used Preparation H” or maybe just, “Oh, my great Aryan god, is the *nigra* is actually standing before me!?!” First time I’ve seen Mr. Opus-Dei-in-the-Oval-Office without his unctuous, ghod-loves-me-bettern-you smirk, and the thought of him, Fat Nino, Shut-Up-Clarence & Scalito the Very Lesser shedding bitter tears can only make us normal people happy.
Also, YouTube’s unedited video of the C-Plus Augustus boarding his escape pod was full of delicious schadenfreude… Dubya grabs for the parental unit’s dog, unsuccessfully; Big Momma Bar is so furious she refuses to look at him until he grabs her shoulder, at which point she gives him a teeth-bared ‘grin’ that would scare a silverback; and Poppy found the whole thing so funny that I would’ve expected Little Boots to kick the old man on-camera except we all know he’s a chickenshite. I’d predict he’ll be dead from some form of aggravated substance abuse within 18 months, but no matter how hard he tries to commit suicide we all know he’ll fvck it up.
Speaking of fvcking up, forget the ‘moving boxes’ alibi — Cheney tried to kick Joe Biden’s new puppy and the little bastard moved fast enough that Darth ended up on his fragile frogbelly-white arse. That’s what Biden & the Obama kids were really giggling about on the stand today.

Bush appear criminal. The central characteristic of the period has been false accusation, starting with alleging collusion between the White House and Texas oil interests to starve California of electricity, progressing through alleging lies and corruption in the run-up to the Iraq war, alleging politically-motivated prosecutions of Democratic politicians, accusations of a policy of “torture,” and so forth….

If there was any kind of rule of law or justice around this place, we’d be seeing a permanent webcam display of the gibbeted remains of W and most of his administration, which should only now be replacing the gibbeted remains of Ollie North and John Pointdexter for their role in Iran-Contra
then again, i always was a vicious bastard.
There should be a plank somewhere, and a whole bunch of motherfuckers walking it.

Oh, and I forgot to say: Now, now, do you see why Plumb Bob Blog should have won, hands down, the Best Conservative Blog of 2009 Oscar?

The hospital scene, the way he escapes from jail, the whole cabinet, Brawndo… I adore the whole thing.

Sounds like a typical post at Blogs for Victory (which, by the name, has put its old Blogs for Bush banner back up to, I dunno, helpfully identify themselves as pathetic, I guess).

“And the South Park movie was brilliant.”
Eh. I try not to look at Parker and Stone’s work through my own personal, political lense – fair is fair, after all, and reactionary politics (however sincere or insincere) as a method of self-promotion don’t necessarily go hand and hand with being an untalented hack. I liked the first season of South Park well enough for what it was, and saw the film before the boys really began their campaign of liberal-bashing in earnest on the show. Even so, I’d say the SP film is ok at best; the songs are mostly good (and “Uncle Fucker” is a classic), but I think the movie runs out of steam somewhat halfway through. And the subplot with Kenny, Saddam and Satan was just plain boring.
I never got around to seeing either of Mike Judge’s films, but I must say, everyone’s comments here are making me really curious to have a look at them.

Never say George Bush never told the truth

Yup.

I wish to express my appreciation to this writer for rescuing me from this particular challenge. Because of browsing throughout the world wide web and meeting principles which are not productive, I thought my entire life was over. Living minus the solutions to the problems you’ve sorted out all through the article is a serious case, as well as ones which may have badly damaged my career if I hadn’t noticed your web page. That ability and kindness in taking care of all things was excellent. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a point like this. I’m able to now look ahead to my future. Thank you very much for this professional and effective help. I won’t think twice to endorse your site to any person who wants and needs guidelines on this problem.

You know what sounds even better? “Former Texas governor and failed Presidential candidate, the late George W. Bush”
