Another Bright Idea from Andrew Dimbart

[meegbear]

It seems like it was just yesterday that Andrew Breitbart was over at the Moonie Times lamenting that the liberals in Hollywood were using their car keys to scratch the Beemers and Bugatis of Mel Gibson and all the other Hollywood conservatives who, for fear of further car damage, now stay locked up in their homes in Brentwood, occasionally calling Breitbart to detail another indignity visited on them by Hollywood liberals. Yards tee-pee’d. Invitations to gay weddings maliciously stuffed in their mailboxes. Gay teenagers driving by their homes and yelling “Breeder” at them.

Well, he’s baaaack. Today’s column from Breitbart at the Moonie Times proposes perhaps the dumbest idea since France parked its entire Navy in the Bay of Aboukir while Napoleon took a tour of the pyramids. That idea — are you ready? — is affirmative action for young Republicans in Hollywood.

Surely there’s an affirmative-action program that can put Republicans to work in the entertainment industry at ratios similar to our numbers in the general population.

I think that program is called Fox News.

Or how about a “Fairness Doctrine” that extends beyond talk radio to TV, film and music?

But, which, of course, wouldn’t apply to Fox, because it’s already fair and balanced enough.

If we encouraged our young to consider careers in the arts, … we’d have a new generation of players pushing their scripts - and truth be told, their reality-show gimmicks - through the development process right now. The College Republicans, Young America’s Foundation and the Leadership Institute, not to mention countless alternative campus newspapers, all exude a rebel spirit that greatly resembles the motivations and enthusiasms of the liberal counterculture of the ’60s and ’70s.

Film and television scripts from College Republicans: imagine the excitement and box office success that these ventures would engender. Consider some of the possibilities:

What about a historical pageant about how manly men overcome an effeminate gay prince. You could even have the effeminate gay prince’s effeminate gay boyfriend defenestrated by the king! Two thumbs up! Oops. Been there, done that.

Or a television show about how all the Arabs are conspiring to blow us up with nukes. Been done. Twice in fact.

Or a made-for-TV movie about how 9-11 was all Clinton’s fault. That too?

Dimbart not only wants the CRs to write the new scripts for Hollywood, but he wants returning war vets to be hired for actors:

There are tons of low-level jobs that lead to greater opportunities for industrious young adults. Our armed forces coming home from Afghanistan and Iraq provide us with a source to replenish the Hollywood creative bloodstream, too. Soldiers should vie for leading roles - especially with all those Laguna Beach swimming-trunk-laden shows.

At least the soldiers who returned with all their limbs could vie for those swimming-trunk parts.

1. holy damn... my brain hurts after reading that

this isn't the 60s or even the 80s anymore -- we have been living in the era of the amateur indie filmmaker for awhile now... If the repub boys want to make movies, let them -- there is nothing stopping them...

i thought RWers hated hiring quotas?
