The airwaves are being inundated with ads for the new George Clooney flic Good Night, and Good Luck which is supposed to be an illuminating piece about the “Black Night of Fascism” under Senator McCarthy. The ad states something along the lines of “liberals and conservatives alike should see this film!” I’ve run that statement through a SuperSecret Decoder Ring I stole from a liberal friend and this is how it translated that statement: “liberals should see it to reaffirm what they already know, and conservatives should see it so they can be shown ‘the truth’.” Yeah, the truth. Ann Coulter wrote a book about McCarthy called Treason that is an excellent read on the topic. She also has a great article today about the Clooney film.
