"I'm Jack Nicholson and I Approved This Message"




So does the USMC have anything to say about Jackie-Boy (he's "on the list") or any other civilian appearing in their uniform to promote Hillary Clinton's presidential bid? Yeah, I know the clips were taken from "A Few Good Men," but they were never intended for political endorsements.

Seems to me complaints could be filed with the Corps and the FEC. I wonder what the value of this would be, including labor and equipment to produce this bit, plus the use of corporate-owned film clips for which we can presume no royalties were paid, as an "in-kind contribution," and if any of this has been reported?

Independent inquiries and follow-up are encouraged.

UPDATE: HuffPo says "The Hillary Clinton Campaign released [the] video..."

Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuehrerette. Like a hole in the head. Asides, Verizon has of today made themselves the master and decider of what is objectionable e-mail, correspondence, and yes comments.They decide what is obscene, pornographic, racist, inflammatory,and a long list of other bad things(?) If I do anything they don't like, they cut off my service, no appeal, no way. I can only imagine what they will use as a yardstick, but given their history, it won't have anything to do with the First Amendment. So not only will they be telling me what I can and cannot say, they intend to tell me what to think. If they can read minds, they're gonna be real mad when they get to me. I am now impotent on the web, no longer having any 1st A rights. Wonder if they'll blank this out. Farewell.

Thanks for the heads-up, David.

Have forwarded the info to the proper channels and we'll see what happens.

This is... bizarre. She is attempting to appeal to the right? Between this and Obama's Clothes, that has to be the tactic. I figured that if she ran, it wouldn't matter the Republican candidate, because the fear and hatred of Hillary would get them to vote for anyone else.

Given the vicious characters that he so easily played, did you ever think that Jack Nicholson was anything more than an overpaid, rotten jerk? I never did.
