• “To run for Senate requires you to do nothing but raise huge quantities of money” – That’s the problem with our system. However, he’s already well known, likely to be able to raise some money (or at least get some from the national org) and then wait for the other side’s snafu video so show up on youtube, etc.

  How much did Al Franken raise?

• If he had any part in OK’ing the rating for “Hangover,” no thanks. Someone needs to be held accountable for unleashing that piece of filth on a wide audience. I’m pretty progressive in my thinking, but that really crossed the line, and the fact that the MPAA looked the other way is sickening.

• Being a U.S. senator is still one of the best jobs in the world. I wouldn’t deny that,” he told Politico.

  And this coming from the MPAA spokesman who has a lot of power over many people’s lives and livelihoods, would like YOU to know that its not enough.

  Being a senator means even more power over more of the people.

  Politicians absolutely disgust me and are on par with the CEO’s and Board of Directors at such places as Enron, AIG, Arthur Anderson, WorldCom, and the banks that bled us dry.

  Its all about power and the lack of it for the individual. The sooner we realize that the politicians want to keep individuals in their boxes – mainly so their private jets don’t have to wait on the tarmac because there are too many new private jets from newly minted wealthy yokels that somehow got through the glass barrier.

  Senators get the life rafts and they think the rest of us are in steerage aboard the Titanic.

  What does this guy know about the daily lives of Kansans? The pig farms, the corn farms, the grain operators, the combine salesmen, the small towns, the women who teach and work the lines to make ends meet when the weather isn’t co-operating and the farms are in trouble?

  Oh, right, democrat. Just promise to throw money at the problem.

  BTW: Where’s my stimulus? I’m waiting for it so I can go see a movie.

• And I won’t leave out the other side – who shall be nameless as they wander in the desert for the next 40 years.

  They too have private jets and talk about climate change -
  I’m talking to you Senator McCain and your private jet and wanting to control people and the way they live.

• Flyover Country, huh? Well, we’ve been called worse. It’s still the best state in the Goddamned country. Don’t like it? You don’t have to live here.

• As Agriculture Secretary he presided over the collapse of small farms and failed to stop the spread of ADM and Monsanto. As MPAA czar he watched the collapse of independent distributors and failed to stop the piracy of his clients’ films. He has a great future in the Senate.

• Guys, guys, guys,
  Can’t you see what this is really about?
  Glickman is finished at the MPAA and this is his way of telling the world that he “is available.”
  There is no way he can win a Senate seat. Do you think the people of Kansas are going to elect a represenative of “big Hollywood.” No way. And remember, he lost his Congressional seat to a Republican — the same Republican that has been representing the people of Kansas for many years now and is likely to run for this Senate seat.
  Glickman’s pathetic Politico interview was a cry for help and employment.
