Hello. My name is Kenny.
I am a very, VERY serious documentarian.

[ This moronic faux historian pantywaist probably thinks Obama is the most supremely qualified candidate since George Washington. ]
Actually Sara Palin is MORE qualified than George Washington to be President..
And Burns is a flaming sissy..

Wow. Very interesting post. Thanks. I enjoy jazz. I deliberately missed Burns' History of Jazz just as I did his recent offering about WWII, even though I'm quite a WWII buff.
I truly enjoyed Burns' Civil War, but the Baseball one sent me to the showers. When trying to enjoy videos of old time baseball players one, I think, can only tolerate only so much gratuitous bludgeoning about historical race issues that have been corrected (nay overcompensated for IMO) already.

Ken should stick to documentaries over past events and stay out of current ones. I like his civil war series. I have heard anecdotal stuff that it got him kicked out of the Sons of the Confederacy though.
He is kind of like Oprah. Once he endorsed Obama, he lost his credibility to objectively rate the opposition. Because Palin is more likeable (and a better rock star) than Obama is no reason to diss her. If you read between the lines, that is his real beef.

it is amazing that Kennedy has avoided prosecution all these years and keeps getting re-elected Its not amazing if you are a Senator in a state of MORONS!

And Obamy’s 185 days as a senator qualify him? Ken, I do believe you have jumped the shark.

Ken, I do believe you have jumped the shark. He was a One Hit Wonder. The Civil War was phenomenal. Everything he's done since sucks. His series on WWII was beyond boring. It was WWII for crying out loud - you have to work REALLY HARD to make WWII boring!

One needs only to consider the mortgage scandal, the credit crisis, the nutty energy policy and the continuing spending deficits to ask the logical question. If Sarah Palin's opponents have this kind of experience, then why do we need them at ALL? Excellent point.

How sad... And to think I used to LIKE some of Burns’ films (especially like the Baseball one). I guess I’ll pass on them from now on. Oh, how I wish some of these people who are so full of themselves would just SHUT UP! It’s the same thing with movie actors, and musicians... Say it in your work (through a song, or in choosing a movie or TV show to work on, or a film to do), or don’t say it at all! Then again if they want to be idiots and alienate some of their fans, well then by all means tell them to keep yakking. It’s not like the majority of Americans will still respect them afterwards!

Heh. Another PBS parasite who probably thinks that the TOP of his party’s ticket, Barack Hussein Obama, is perfectly qualified to be President. It never ceases to amazes me how PBS attracts pantloads like Burns the way a fresh turd attracts flies.
