Michael Moore: Dems Are 'Wimps and Losers'

I always thought Foster Brooks did a mean Ted Kennedy impersonation.

"Why, I'm a d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dentist..."

"Well, do you use lots of NOVOCAINE??"

"J-j-j-j-just enough, s-s-so I don't hear, the screams....."

Heh. Thats the first time Finn ever made me grin, I think ...

Lash's answer, on the other hand, was just silly of course. Moore is no more representative of the Democratic Party than Lieberman is. People like Salazar, Warner and Bredesen are contenders in the party; Moore is just an agitator.

...Brooks was perhaps the only comic around who could make the twinkly-eyed, tippling Martin seem sober by comparison. For his variety show guest spots Brooks usually appeared as a monologist but sometimes came on as a bombed TV executive or tipsy husband in sketches. Questioned about being drunk, he might cock a bleary eye at his antagonist and announce, "I must say that I have a very good reason for bein' loaded." Then after an unsteady pause: "I been drinkin' all day!"

One need only compare the essentially blemish free face of Brooks (Is he now deceased?) to the gin blossom garden that is Teddy's face to realize one was a man impersonating a lush and the other a lush impersonating a man.

interesting concept finn, wanna see some pics of republican sots? the bottle seems to passed around both sides of the aisle. But you knew that already right?

I missed that one; DAMN............

That would be worth paying to see. Brooks used to play the drunk with the permanent case of DTs at the bar. Dean Martin would ask him what he did for a living and he'd always reply that he was a brain surgean, an aiirline pilot, or some kind of thing which simply cannot be done by somebody with the DTs. Once he replied

I told that to my dentist once and the poor guy almost got to laughing so hard he couldn't breathe.
