Zucker Lampoons Flipper
Ex-Hollywood liberal David Zucker, director of Airplane and Naked Gun, has made a very funny short advertisement skewering John Flipper Kerry: Once-Democratic Hollywood movie-maker unveils film lampooning Kerry.
“I was really a liberal Democrat until 9/11,” said Zucker, referring to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on US targets.
“There is no question in my mind that President Bush is doing a great job fighting the war on terror.
“We can’t trust Kerry to do that. I wanted to do something, but since no one was asking me to make policy speeches I made this ad,” Zucker said in a statement.
Hollywood is traditionally very Democratic-leaning and one film producer who came out as a Republican in Tinseltown said recently that people reacted as if he had been “exposed as a serial killer.”
To underscore his new political ideology, Zucker’s movie shows movie a confused groom at his own wedding who rushes past his new wife to romantically embrace the maid of honour.
This release from Agence France Presse doesn’t include the web address where you can view the film, of course—but here it is. (Thanks to all who emailed about this.)
