Meathead
made a commercial. Meathead hasn’t scored in a while, and has recycled
some out-takes from his long-past cinematic ripostes, into a pastiche
for Hillary that has gotten attention from the media, now declaring in
a news alert: Hollywood is now in the political ad business!
This ad is a barometer, a windsock, a tattletale of the pale in which
the dems are stuck. The ad of Jack Nicholson braying as a mad colonel,
in the Marines of course, in “A Few Good Men” who is an incarnation of
misogyny as ever in the movies, reveals much. The missing element is
the realization – perhaps to be noted by the media [har har] or talk
radio [more likely] – that the good colonel is trying to intimidate the
lovely lady in sexy white Navy uniform. The petite lt. Commander/legal
beagle is the target of thinly veiled verbal threats, to derail her
determined investigation of an errant military ‘code red’ on the base
which led to an enlisted Marine’s death. [more]
