Just another prime example of the liberal mindset....they cant deal with reality...so they will create a fantasy and subplant it as the “new reality”...liberals will swallow it whole and embrace it...disregarding the reality the rest of us share and deal with every day...

Didn’t see W, but I heard it was not the total hatchet job that some were expecting.

Whenever I go to the movie, it’s mostly young people you see there, and they won’t be interested in this.

I wonder who they’ll hire to play rush Limbaugh...

When Rush was quite fat then, I bet Michael Moore ( made up heavily ) would’ve been a good fit...

It’s good news; some will tune in for morbid curiosity, then promptly be converted.

Rush is witty, but he’s POLITE to callers.

Anyone who listens for 10 minutes can see it.

I hope they make 10 films like this.

Ever rerun?

People graduate from high school, and then the kids from the, “Super Cool Lunch Table” become irrelevant.

Then they run across the one kid who strangely enough gave off NO signs of yearning to sit with them:

“You know why...?! Cuz he’s a BELL TOWER SHOOTER...!!!”

See? They never REALLY leave high school.

Pathetic, isn’t it?

RE BRIAN DENNEHY.



RUSH LIMBAUGH


I think the build is similar, and Dennehy is a great actor. The can make him up to look like Rush.

True. But the movie's key takeaways about Limbaugh's "demons" will become the talking points for liberal politicians, pundits and entertainers, and so will spread far beyond the actual audience.

To date, ABC's $40 million miniseries, which drew a combined audience of 25 million, has not been released on DVD. Writer and producer Cyrus Nowrasteh has said that a stalled release is not due to lack of interest but rather strong political pressure. He told the Los Angeles Times that "[P]owerful forces are out to protect Bill Clinton's presidential legacy and shield Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) from any potential collateral damage in her bid for the White House". Furthermore, Nowrasteh goes on to explain that he was told by a top executive at ABC Studios that "if Hillary weren't running for president, this wouldn't be a problem." According to the LA Times, an ABC spokeswoman reached September 4, 2007 would say only that the company "has no release date at this time," and she declined to comment further.[12] In an interview with KFI's John Ziegler, Nowrasteh candidly discusses the issue.[13]

Brian Dennehy is 71. Rush is 59. Based on this photo of BD taken in 2003:

I don't think he would work. He looks more like Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy than Rush.

They better be very careful about accuracy, as Rush always is.

Indulgence in slander/libel can be very expensive.
