Anyone watch 24?
Fans thought it was the evil vice president that was doing all the dirty work... found out that the mastermind was really the president who plays idiot to the public.... hmmmmmmm

Art imitating life? (i.e. CIA leak, etc...)

1. Perhaps this popular series will help many Americans
conceptualize the very real possibility that the President could be a criminal. Jack Kennedy has said in a speech a few months prior to his assassination that any President who wanted to could convert our Government into a dictatorship. He also said that he intended to take the details of how that could be done directly to the American people. I've often wondered if that one thing was involved in the motives behind his assassination.

3. Trust me, we ALL know that
Kennedy was killed off by the same band in control of the White House now. It's the Bush Crime Family. They're the Gotti family of Washington DC.

12. I wasn't saying otherwise, only that they might have feared that
Jack was about to "spill the beans" on how it could be done. That crap about H.W.Bush not remembering where he was in the day Jack was shot is total B.S. Every adult in the Country who was alive then could tell you where they were. I could tell you the exact parking meter I was walking by when I was told about it.

2. yup :)
I noticed that, too. I knew it was Logan, though. It made sense in a poetic way given the beginning of the season. Itzin's a good actor. I'd never seen him in anything before and I've been very impressed by his work this year especially.

Now if they'll just throw the actress who plays Audrey in a closet and lock it for the rest of the season, I'll be happy. lol

4. Love the show
A friend of mine and I were watching it a couple of weeks ago, she said that the show was unrealistic because the president wouldn't act "like that." I just looked at her. She blinked, went "nevermind."

:rofl:

15. The president on the show...
...reminds me of Dubya in so many ways. So her saying that was kind of funny. She realized what she said and went "nevermind."

I'm just hoping the Vice President has a daughter who has hot lesbian sex.

With Chloe.

16. idiot president
He was playing so well the idiot president, i totally fell for it. Because it just didn't make sense, why would he bumble the whole season before, bumble this whole season, then suddenly become smart?

I think he really was incompetant, but he became in on something and was able to orchastrate it.

I think it is an important lesson to learn. Bush plays the dumb guy card, and i have no doubt in my mind that he is not very intelligent. BUT, that doesn;t mean he is not capable of doing things.

He might not know much about how the world works, much about history or anything. But that doesn;t mean he can't orchastrate something. Mean dumb people can suprise you sometimes. He might have created this whole leaking mess himself and then played dumb. Playing dumb works with the press, they make jokes and learn not to take him seriously.
