MOVIE BLEG [Bill Bennett]:It sounds like something out of one of those Corner parodies.
Has anyone seen, does anyone know of, a movie depicting the war we are in now, the fight against the barbarians? We've had movies about the first Gulf war, and a morally ambiguous fiction about something or somewhere called Syriana -- but anything about our over-four- year- old fight for civilization against the Islamist barbarians, based on fact? Anything? Anyone?
Why doesn't he just go to the video store?
VIDEO STORE CLERK: Can I help you?
BENNETT: (with great seriousness) Yes. Do you have any films about the war we are in now, the fight against the barbarians?
VIDEO STORE CLERK: Uh, do you mean, like, the war in Iraq?
BENNETT: Yes! Yes!
VIDEO STORE CLERK: Sure. Fahrenheit 911.
BENNETT: (shoulders up around his ears) Saints preserve us! (runs out of the store, screaming)
VIDEO STORE CLERK: It's a living! (canned laughter)
