will bid $US 30 for VHS copy of "Showtime" Bush movie ... (serious)
I just found out I'm supposed to be writing a book chapter on Rove and Co.'s use of imagemaking and propaganda ... so I should probably see this little masterpiece, huh? Only I'm up in Canada (and I don't think my cable company carries this channel anyway). At first I thought I'd see if I could pick up a copy on eBay, BUT I would much rather a fellow DUer get the money ... (The $30 US should cover the costs of the video and sending it to me through the regular post, with a little tip left over for your time and effort!)

Are there any takers?

1. good idea, this should be textbook Rove
I would love to see this flick just to compare the Booker scenes with teh REAL Booker scenes!!!

I hope my parents get Showtime, so that I can spend the next year refuting this for them :evilgrin:

2. I wouldn't worry about spending money on a bootleg tape.
Since this is obviously a propaganda tool, meant to boost DipShit's image just in time for the campaign season, it will no doubt be available on DVD for the Christmas shopping season.

Bet on it.

4. great! I'll DU-mail you ...
This will be a big help. As Anticoup2K noted, they will probably release this thing on VHS and DVD as a Bushbot stocking-stuffer (as opposed to the flightsuit stocking-stuffer!) -- but the book editor told me that a first draft of my chapter is due early next month, and I would like to see the flick before that.

Besides ... do I really want to contribute to the Shrub's swollen campaign coffers by purchasing his official merchandise? It might encourage him to keep doing it ... or worse, help him get elected.

I tried to respond to your message, but alas, I don't have enough posts to send a message back to you.
Please send me another message with an email address in it to reach you!
Thanks,
