Matt Lauer, Kevin Spacey

Did you ever imagine there would come a time in real life politics that would make the plot lines of your show seem tame?



That's funny, Matt. Because you have to ignore so very much to even ask that ridiculous question although it's understandable how you sense existential threat such as my character evokes.

Hello. Hello. Hello. Sorry for interrupting but I'm sitting here listening and I'm sensing a very strong presence behind you and he's being very insistent on coming through.


He says his name is Vince Foster. No wait. There's another man, a young man, he's kind of shy, he says he has something important. He says he's rich, no wait, he says his name is Seth Rich. 

No wait, there's more people gathering. They're stepping forward and pushing, James McDougal, Mary Mahoney, Ron Brown. 

Wait there's more coming, it's like an escalator up in here, Paul Tulley, Ed Willey, James Bunch, Jerry Parks, these people don't like each other, it's not a nice group of people, James Wilson is very unhappy, Kathy Ferguson, Gandy Baugh, poor thing. 

Wait, wait, wait, we gotta stop. This is too much. They're telling me to tell you to shut your stupid trap. 

Florence Martin, Bill Shelton a State Trooper whose Kathy Ferguson's fiancée, Florence Martin was shot in the head, Suzanne Coleman who's pregnant and had an affair with Clinton, Paula Grober a sign language interpreter, Paul Wilcher says he was investigating corruption he's with Paul Wilcher on the same case. 

Stop it you guys!

Barbara Wise is beat up, she's showing me fists, there's all these guy who died in plane crashes. So many plane crashes it's statistically impossible. So many involved with an airport. They're showing me MENSA, no wait, Mena, Mena Airport. Barry Seal was a pilot. He showing me shooting a needle into his arm. He ran drugs. Johnny Lawhorn found a check made out to Clinton in the trunk of a car brought to his garage. Two brothers, Ives brothers, saw something they shouldn't. 

Stop it! There's too many people I'm getting a headache.

Richard Winters, Jordan Kettleson, James Milan. 

Stop pushing! 

Gregory Collins, Jeff Rhodes, Keith McMaskle is showing me he's being stabbed.

OMG, all these bodyguards pushing through together. I can't take this. 

I have to go lay down.

As you rest, may your dreams be less disturbing than reality.

They were all asking for it. - HuffPo

Has anyone noticed the paucity of gay and black men in the sexual purge??? Almost entirely straight w/m's.

Leland said...

Not sure about that Nick. You do have Kevin Spacey and then there is the Charlie Sheen/Corey Haim allegation. Then there is the Mariah Carey allegation. But I did notice that nobody counts Bill Cosby as part of this purge, when he could well be some of what started this, and oh yeah, he worked for NBC.

What the first one over the falls, Bill Cosby?
Definitely not a white male, crazy Christmas sweaters notwithstanding.

Still haven't heard a real reason why the Seth Rich story is not valid. It just suddenly was not. Maybe I missed some major development or maybe the establishpress just decided that it was "not credible." Kind of the way they decided that the Moore accusers were "credible." Anything that protects the establishment is "credible" and anything that rocks the establishment's boat is "not credible."

Leland said...

And oh hell, Conyers may have been friends with "Sheets" Byrd, but I think he has a fair claim to checking "black", unlike that "injun" in the Senate.

House of cards, indeed. It does seem that Kevin Spacey's reality wasn't that much out of alignment with the characters he played. Darkness visible. Matt Lauer, however, does not look or act like a rapist. Lauer is more unsettling.......You need hourly, not daily postings of celebrity rapists. Russell Simmons doesn't even win today's Rapist of the Day Award. That honor belongs to Israel Horovitz. Horovitz is a well know playwright, but is perhaps better known as the father of a Beastie Boys member. Horovitz achieves distinction not by raping a celebrity but rather by the sheer degeneracy of his act. He raped his son's girlfriend. Maybe it was some kind of reverse Oedipus Complex thing. It was definitely weirder than the average rape.

I suppose you can extrapolate from this that Lauer is a more convincing actor than Spacey, and Lauer was never once recognized for his acting ability. Life is so unfair.
