Why Didn't They Have Teresa Finance It?

Sometimes, you really have to appreciate how idiotic politics can get...

Two investors have sued a filmmaker for allegedly misleading them about plans for a documentary on the life of presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites).

The federal lawsuit filed Monday says brothers Marc Abrams and Russell Abrams were misled into thinking that George Butler, a longtime Kerry friend, and the film's producers were trying to make a commercially successful film.

Instead, the brothers allege that "Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry" was intended primarily to influence the 2004 presidential election in favor of the Democratic senator from Massachusetts.

Wait a second, they thought this would be commercially successful? Had they seen John Kerry on the campaign trail? He's one of the few men capable of taking a reasonably exciting lifestory into utter dreck. That takes real talent, I guess.

But seriously, what idiot thinks a ton of people will go out to watch a documentary about a political candidate? Although I'm guessing Girls Gone Wild: The Clinton White House would have been a smash hit.
