... "There seems to me no question that the Batman film "The Dark Knight,"
currently breaking every box office record in history, is at some
level a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has
been shown by George W. Bush in this time of terror and war. Like W,
Batman is vilified and despised for confronting terrorists in the
only terms they understand. Like W, Batman sometimes has to push the
boundaries of civil rights to deal with an emergency, certain that he
will re-establish those boundaries when the emergency is past."

Edit: Yeah, I must have dozed off during the part where Batman revealed Super Man's alter-ego, used his connections to place Harvey Dent as district attorney, and silenced the board of directors at Wayne Industries to maintain his position as head of the company so he could spend huge sums of investor funds to fight a war on crime that didn't work instead of looking out for shareholder interests.

Okay. I think I saw that last part. Maybe.

lame linkage, news sucks, movie industry, what, politics, parlor tricks
