The quote of the day comes from South Park’s Matt Stone whose “Team America” has gone straight to the top of my want-to-see list. After dispensing with self-promoting fashionista P. Diddy’s get-out-the-vote campaign, Stone has this to say of the limitations of his own film (and that of others):
And they say that if you’re persuaded to change your vote because of a puppet movie, there may be something wrong with you. “If anyone walks out of this movie, or a Michael Moore movie, thinking about voting a certain way, then they’re [bleeping] stupid and shouldn’t be voting,” says Stone. “If this movie makes you think that much, then you’re too weak-kneed to vote.”

(via Andrew Sullivan, who I still read, even though he’s turned to the Dark Side….)
Oct 6, 2004 - 2:33 pm 4. Peg C.:I read the Friedman review yesterday and can hardly wait to see this movie, and I didn’t even see South Park. I know I’ll be offended but I also know I’ll laugh ’til I cry. I particularly look forward to the sendup of Hollywood lefties (I used to live in L.A. and was a lefty my whole life so I know these people) and hopefully of the Weasels as well. The only thing that stuck in my craw was Friedman’s glib pushing of F/911. I would die before I’d give that lying gasbag a penny.
