It's like "The Illusionist", isn't it?

[PCIntern]

While we're all paying attention to the Bachmanns, the Palins, the Becks, and all the other raging lunatics of the far Right, the Thunes, the Huntsmans, the Daniels are all sneaking around the curtain or under the stage, and when they pop up, they will seem oh-so-reasonable...not to us, for we know better...but to the independents, the non-fringe RWers, and even some Democrats.

We better be careful whose virtues we extol and whose personae we ignore...

1. I think it's more like "The Prestige"

With our country being the guy in the tank.
