Son of a pres!

Since George Bush is running for President, and his father was president, what other presidential offspring would you consider better qualified for the job than george?
My vote would be for Amy Carter, which should surprise no one(see my sig).

What’s Tricia Nixon up to these days?

Considering her breeding, I think Chelsea Clinton has a nice career ahead of her in politics, if that’s what she’s interested in.

And, Caroline Kennedy-Schlossberg would win election, if she chose to run.

On the other side, the elephants are prodding Jeb Bush’s half-Latino son as the future of the Republican Compassionate Conservatives (now that’s a fantasy league name!).

Give me Karenna Gore-Schiff or Kristin Gore any day, though. :slight_smile:

JFK Jr. …I know he’s dead, but that just about sums up the way I feel about some flake riding his father’s coat-tails into the Presidency, or governership, take your pick.

There’s a certain enjoyment that comes from watching a bad horror movie… or a bad Westerm, or a bad romance, or a bad Sci-fi film. ANY bad dramatic film can be unintentionally hilarious.

But the worst movies of all are bad COMEDIES! Problem is, a bad comedy just isn’t funny, not even accidentally. As such, MST3K rarely or never bothers screening bad would-be comedies.

But ARE there wretchedly bad comedies that would be good fodder for a show like MST3K?

I suspect there are, but it would have to be aparticularly SMARMY kind of comedy. Just as an example, have you ever seen reruns of “Banacek” with George Peppard? Though the mystery element still holds up decently, the “witty” remarks he had to toss off were just embarrassingly hokey! Listening to Peppard’s dated, crude, pseudo-sophisticated jokes (that sounded like he’d memorized the joke page of the last Playboy centerfold) is PAINFUL!

It strikes me that THAT sort of comedy… revolving around people who THINK they’re witty but aren’t… COULD be fodder for MST3K.

Any other bad comedies that might work that way?

Astorian: Yeah, totally, dude. I’m like, right there with you.
