This moronic faux historian pantywaist probably thinks Obama is the most supremely qualified candidate since George Washington.

Burns has been worshipping black folks for his entire career. He’s got a “thing” for them that seems unsavory to me.

[Renkluaf]

I always look to Ken Burns for my political analysis!

[Sig Sauer P220]

Ken Burns????? Wasn’t he the guy that played on “Mama’s Place” and “Mayberry RFD” ?

[housedeep]

hey burns

please go back to making those sappy manipulative “documentaries” with actor voice overs and cheezy music. As a student of history you should damn well know that an electorate often votes from the gut, and Palin has this “authenticity” you speak of in spades....

[VanDeKoik]

Make one somewhat decent documentary 20 years ago and now were stuck with this idiot.

[sappy]

If there ever was an Americon Idol pick, Obama is IT!

[Doogle]

.....make sure you send in those dollars to help promote federally funded Public Broadcasting now folks.

[Inyo-Mono]

What a shame, now I’m going to have to dump my Ken Burns Civil War series into the trash. Oh well, it was on VCR tape anyway.

[telebob]

Another member-in-good-standing of the lefty borg. He’s a little late to the party, but what the hell...

[Rodm]

And Obama's not an American Idol pick?

Obama is just like most Entertainment people: totally hollow on the inside.

[FormerACLUmember]

Taxpayer parasite/mega-liar Burns has bigger menstrual periods than Palin.

[KansasGirl]

I am so sick of these elitists. Look at the mess these Washington parasites have gotten our financial markets into. They have become a corrupt and dangerous ruling class. I believe I am more qualified than most of them to run D.C. and I Palin is more qualified than me. I wish I could vote for her for President.

[nina0113]

Ken, you threw away your credibility when you left the anti-abortion views of Susan B. Anthony et al. out of your “Not For Ourselves Alone” faux-feminist documentary. It was about as honest as leaving slavery out of your Civil War series would have been.

[reagan_fanatic]

Here’s twenty bucks, Ken. Get a real haircut.

[Right Wing Assault]

I challenge the obama people to give me a list of all the previous candidates that he is MORE qualified than.

[steelyourfaith]

Is this Kenny funded with tax payers dollars? Can he take biased political cheap shots and still collect public funds?

This vile little twerp won himself a place on my avoid-list after he ruined what could have been a perfectly good video anthology of Major League Baseball when he couldn't restrain himself from constant moralizing.

[rdax]

Worst haircut ever!

Breck-girlesque

How sad that for most PBS Stations, the late Summer Pledge period just ended.

This sort of statement really would have kicked up the donations. The biggest take PBS ever had was when the Republicans took over Congress in 1994 and threatened to cut off all Federal funding for CPB.

[nascarnation]

Burns made a sappy tribute film to Sen. Ted Kennedy for last month’s Democratic convention in Denver, and then went on MSNBC to tout him as an "amazing, amazing man."

well this part is true

it is amazing that Kennedy has avoided prosecution all these years and keeps getting re-elected

[Sacajaweau]

Amusing....'cause when Obama started running, I thought he was acting like the tall, handsome, smart, athlete who was destined to be King of the Senior Prom. (He might even have been that. I don't see valedictorian anywhere.)

Just a big gangly kid with a daddy who had big bucks....made in the oil business...living in Kenya...in a Mansion...with servants...doing coke as he grew wiser...never answering to anyone....doing Community Service like Jesse and Al (it worked for them)...etc, etc, etc....
