The Distinguished Gentleman

And I got a very positive response.

message um when it comes to this but i had to pull up this piece that i did um 16 years ago um 16 years ago uh i wrote a piece thank you for not voting and i was actually citing a 1992 movie Eddie Murphy movie entitled The Distinguished Gentleman.

And in the movie, Eddie Murphy played a con man named Thomas Jefferson Johnson who decides to run for Congress after the incumbent, Jeff Johnson, died.

Again, this is a little like what's taking place in Alaska to some degree, not the same.

architecture of ideological capture that you're alluding to is so vast, it's hard to overstate it.

The movie that I think captures it best, granted, this is how old I am, but there's an old Eddie Murphy movie called The Distinguished Gentleman.

There are all these scenes of him, the new congressman, who happens to be a con man, by the way.

Him meeting all of these representatives of different... sort of vague sounding trade associations and front groups.

So that was a good director-actor combo.

Then after Boomerang was what? It wasn't Distinguished Gentleman, was it? Senior Gentleman, 92.

Yeah, so that was after Boomerang.

I've never even seen that
