Last night my Mom, sister and I were watching Primary Colors (1998) the political satire starring Emma Thompson, John Travolta, and the incomparable Billy Bob Thornton and Kathy Bates (see www.imdb.com/title/tt0119942/) and I reheard one of those insults which is so incisive, accurate and well-worded that it becomes hilarious:Susan Stanton: Your grandfather was a great man. Jack Stanton could also be a great man, if he wasn't such a faithless, thoughtless, disorganized, undisciplined shit.
Love it.
This one is also pretty good. Billy Bob Thornton plays the political strategist Richard Jemmons and his insight is:
Richard Jemmons: The media giveth, and go fuck yourself.
What an appropriate commentary for our times.I recommend watching this to view how Hilary has morphed since the 1992 Clinton Campaign. Hot.
