Tell the Terrorists to "Watch It"!
Nicely demonstrating the sophistication of his insight into global culture and politics, Bill Bennett recently asked a very important question over at the National Review blog, "The Corner":
So I say, stop waiting for Hollyweird to get with it! Go rent some movies tonight, and pretend that the bad guys are Islamoterrorbarbarianfascists! Like today, I watched Wedding Crashers, and I pretended that the smug guy who is Rachel McAdams's boyfriend is Osama. And I was all cheering for the man with the funny nose to get the girl from him, like, "Get him, Our Troops!," except that Our Troops in the movie were the wedding crasher guys. You see what I mean. You could also rent that old movie that I think was called Basic Instinct, and pretend that Sharon Stone's vagina is democracy, so that the Arabs/Muslims (the detectives) are just beginning to see what liberty is like -- and they're pretty excited!
So get to it, if you want to beat the terrorists! Rent some movies tonight, and grab some ice cream, and settle in on the couch! And remember: Don't do it for yourself. Do it for Our Troops! We're not going to win this thing if we aren't willing to make some SACRIFICES!
Has anyone seen, does anyone know of, a movie depicting the war we are in now, the fight against the barbarians? We've had movies about the first Gulf war, and a morally ambiguous fiction about something or somewhere called Syriana--but anything about our over-four- year- old fight for civilization against the Islamist barbarians, based on fact? Anything? Anyone?Great question! And of course the answer is no, because the Hollywood people are un-American and want Libertyrary Tower and all of Los Angeles to be blown up by barbarian thugs! This absence of anti-Islamobarbarianterrorfascist movies is a very serious absence from our degenerate American culture that is superior and must be saved from the Muslims, especially since watching movies is exactly the kind of sacrifice that the pro-war neoconservative right is willing to make in the War on Terror.
So I say, stop waiting for Hollyweird to get with it! Go rent some movies tonight, and pretend that the bad guys are Islamoterrorbarbarianfascists!

Hey why pretend when you can watch the REAL THING:
Delta Force
This typical but well-made action movie, which spawned numerous sequels, means to combine the best elements of the disaster movie with the hard-boiled attributes of traditional action-adventures. When a plane is hijacked to the Middle East by Palestinian terrorists, the Pentagon calls into action the Delta Force, an elite squad of highly trained commandos led by tough guy mainstay Lee Marvin and karate-action-star Chuck Norris. Their mission is simple: to thwart the terrorists and rescue the hostages, and the plot concentrates largely on just that, as the team uses its experience and fighting skills to get the job done.

Lee Marvin and Chuck Norris -- watch it soon, before the toughness eats through the last remaining copies.
Much nostalgia for Lee Marvin. Tough old bastard. I think he was a marine, too.
LOL. I think you've got a plan... and with Billy B's tendency toward addictive pursuits, after a case of Jack Daniels he'd probably believe he was personally responsible for saving Glenn Close's vagina... I mean democracy.
crap, got Basic Instinct and Fatal Attraction mixed up... and both actresses are very "American Pie"... so I guess one "Democracy" is as good as anothers'
