Old Mr. Potter, Republican Hero
Ah, mean old Mr. Potter, everyone's favorite Christmas villain. The last time I watched "It's A Wonderful Life" I was amazed to realize that Mr. Potter wasn't played by Lionel Barrymore, as I remembered, but was actually Dick Cheney playing himself. Over at McSweeney's they have this holiday gem: AFTER DRINKING TOO MANY MARTINIS AT LUNCH, OLD MAN POTTER, UNWISELY ACTING AS HIS OWN ATTORNEY, DELIVERS HIS CLOSING REMARKS TO A BEDFORD FALLS JURY.
