In an email, I was sent a painfully funny video showing a character played by the buffoonish William Shatner who Newsbusters describes as,
"helping" Barack Obama as he defends the Second Amendment.
I've never seen the series it's from, but the episode is discussed here.

LOL! LOL!
Man, I've been a Shatner defender and I was expecting a preachy pro-Obama sermon, which was going to lower my opinion of Shatner.
Man, oh, man, I was wrong! This is great (and great support for the 2nd Amendment.)

Now that wasn't very "on message" for Hollywood, was it?

Kids, don't try this at home. "Shooting to wound" is prima facie evidence that you did not consider yourself to be in mortal danger. If that had been the case, you would have taken direct steps to stop the attack.

My friend loves that show so I watched it once with him. Big mistake.
Shatner is conservative but he's crazy.
James Spader is his lefty best friend who's for the little man.
The episode I saw had Spader going before the Supreme Court. Naturally, being a good lefty, he went off on conflict of interests. Interestingly, he only noted those on the right (the funniest was Scalia going hunting with Dick Cheney, cuz as everybody knows, that's obvious bias) but no mention of any of the lefties on the court having a conflict of interest. Like Ginsburg and NOW.
It was like watching a Code Pink "demonstration".
I've tried watching it since, but I just can't do it. Shatner is crazy and Spader is the man of the little people. It's about as subtle as a Daily Kos post.
