"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
Like most of you (old enough to remember), news of James
J. Kilpatrick's death Sunday caused me to recall his 60 Minutes
segment Point-Counterpoint, with Liberal Shana Alexander. I'm frankly
surprised not to find any video, given its popularity. Later, Saturday Night Live
parodied it, with Dan Aykroyd and Jane curtain playing the roles.
There wasn't much to distinguish the two from one another. Enjoy.
I wondered what became of Kilpatrick since the 60 Minutes days. He was a man of words well chosen, and we were lucky to have him as one of a series of thoughtful, bright, conservative editors of our local newspaper. Lt. Col. Gen. Tailgunner dick
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGood grief, I needed a laugh.

Don't forget it was parodied in the movie "Airplane", too.
