John Kerry and the Non-Amazing Race
We had to create a special category just for this story. While Sean Penn should've justified this subject/topic already, we have given him too much of our valuable and waning brain power, so we begin here with the 2004 John Kerry presidential campaign. Kerry, desperate for publicity, allowed anyone possible to film his rise to mediocrity. Whether it be Nancy Pelosi's daughter Alexandra (
who herself had a mediocre documentary, "Diary of a Political Tourist"
- ed.), Michael Moore or Steve Rosenbaum.
The Kerry camp now appears to be kicking their own asses for allowing Rosenbaum to film their inner sanctum, as Lloyd Grove and the NY Daily News have discovered that the finished film,
Inside the Bubble is anything but flattering to the campaign, its workers and the elitist prick himself. This is directly from the film's press notes:
"The film turns a harsh but deeply revealing mirror on the campaign ... a disorganized, contentious, self-absorbed team that thought they could win by 'not making mistakes,' and keeping their candidate in the public eye without clarifying a position on anything."But Kerry's people, including four time loser Robert Shrum and Kerry mouthpiece David Wade are having none of it, even though Rosenbaum was a Kerry supporter who campaigned for the Senator throughout the election.
"The 20 poor souls subjected to this movie will be reaching for caffeine and begging for old Lamar Alexander tapes on C-Span 2. Michael Moore has nothing to fear. I think the working title was 'The Snore Room,'" Wade said.It might just be us, but isn't this statement critical of the Kerry campaign? They really were as boring in real life as everyone imagined them to be? Good job Wade. Got your PR degree at Johnson's School of Auto Detailing, did you?
We'll have to see what the advanced word is, but apparently this movie is full of good clips of Kerry being an idiot, Hillary Clinton constantly making fun of Frankenstein during his stump speeches and tons of other stuff that we'd like to see. Let's just hope it's better than
Bush's Brain, because THAT was a boring film.
