More Funnies: Shatner's 'Boston Legal' Character 'Helps' Obama
By Noel Sheppard (Bio | Archive) October 25, 2008 - 21:32 ET
For more Saturday night entertainment pleasure, here's the video Neal Boortz talked about this week featuring William Shatner's Denny Crane character ("Boston Legal") "helping" Barack Obama as he defends the Second Amendment:
Trying to remember where I saw that the other day....I think someone emailed it to me....had me on the floor!
I know Boston Legal is pretty leftist, but I think it's hilarious. Both Shatner's and Spader's characters are such overt pigs....you almost have to love 'em.
My first thought was, "Oh damn another guy I liked has turned into a freakin leftie!" Cautiously I hit play...."Man the guy really is a good actor. Where's he going with this?"
Despite David E Kelly's liberal grandstanding it is the best acted and one of the best written shows on TV...
Of course because it's good ABC has canceled it.
It was even fair and balanced. Shat's character is a Reagan Cum F Lee Baily gun toting conservative with just the earliest signs of Alzheimers threatening to destroy his legendary record of having "never lost a case". His side kick is a super liberal amoral bag of sleaze who happens to be a particularly gifted trial attorney played by James Spader.
The two guys are such good friends that they can argue politics witbhout killing each other.
Great show, but of course as I said before canceled, whereas crap stays on the ABC network.
One of my favourite shows next to "House," even if I am a conservative (one thing we conservatives have is a sense of humour). BTW, it's Mad Cow, not Alzheimers. All I can say is ... Denny Crane.
It should have been "Torso, torso, torso." 'Course, that's just my self-defense pragmatism saying that center of mass should always be your target with a pistol.
Still that was great for a laugh. I love the matter-of-fact way he states his targets. An alternate line could have been, "Watch... wallet... bullets. *BLAMBLAMBLAM*" After all, it's not like he gave the mugger his gun.

Yeah....Mad Cow
October 26, 2008 - 09:31 ET by MexNobamaSorry about that.
....Since you are a fan of the show....
Remember the balcony scene of that same episode wherein Alan tells Denny that he too has a .38 at home?
I wonder how many Liberal Dems will be shocked to find that an Obama presidency will mean that they have to cough up their guns too?
Now THAT was funny!

My only problem with that
October 25, 2008 - 22:42 ET by TheBigBMy only problem with that scene is that it should have been "Right knee, left knee, forehead".
Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.
