Well, the end result of the whole, weird trainwreck is that the only Republican whose name is going to appear on the ballot for the primary next month will be that of Tea Party candidate Kerry Bentivolio, a teacher (yes, as disturbing as that thought is, apparently there are teabaggers who can actually read and write) who has the local GOP establishment freaked out to the point that they're scrambling to get former state Senator Nancy Cassis to attempt a write-in campaign for the primary.
However, it appears that when it comes to surreal, creepy narrative film productions, while McCotter may talk the talk, Bentivolio actually walks the walk. Witness today's story in the Detroit Free Press about a low-budget feature-length film that Bentivolio actually starred in:
GOP hopeful Kerry Bentivolio makes fun of Bush-like character in movie
Bentivolio, a Milford teacher, had a prominent role in a low-budget Michigan-made film -- "The President Goes to Heaven" -- released last year that pokes fun at a fictional character based on Republican former President George W. Bush.
In the 85-minute satire, Bentivolio is the chief physician at a place called the North Oakland Medical Center, where the fictional president has had a stroke and lies in a coma but is able to hear and understand those around him.
The film is an indictment of the president after a terrorist attack in which planes fly into two buildings in New York on 1-11.
The nurses berate the comatose president for ordering the planes to be flown into the towers, killing their loved ones. A conspiracy theorist on a TV screen details the urban myths about "our allies" being responsible for the attack.
It just gets weirder from there:
The movie's first lady is more concerned with getting the secret codes for a $100-billion Swiss bank account set up for the president by big oil companies and the defense industry. She also tacitly endorses the idea of the Secret Service shooting a Muslim cleric and covering it up and stabs to death a different comatose man in the hospital, thinking it is her husband.
Um....WTF?????
OK, so I (along with many others in the Southeast Michigan area, I would imagine) looked up the movie and found the following:
IMDB: The President Goes to Heaven
"This is the story of the President who was more powerful than God. He ruled the world with an iron fist. But getting into heaven is not easy even for him. All the laws he made for others to follow turns to his detriment. Everything that was done to ruin him turns out to be his salvation. What the President has to do to get into heaven?"
And finally, the trailer for the film:
Um.
OK, then.
All I can say is...
DONATE TO DR. SYED TAJ, THE PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT RUNNING IN MI-11!!
