Well, the movie is over, the Red Sox are way ahead so I decided to dive in...help me with analogies.
I didn't want to ruin a perfectly good evening, but I couldn't help myself, so I turned into PBS in time to watch Judy Woodruff's Bud Day interview, then the Christie Todd Whitman/Gerson disaster interview.

I am trying to think of a movie analogy to what I am seeing...

First thing that came to mind is One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest.

But it doesn't quite work - I am looking for an analogy where a roomful of criminals and nuts actually think that they are running the show. Can't think of one...

I know I am going to regret turning on this shit....oh well...

1. The Stepford Wives always comes to mind, or maybe Valley of the Dolls.
