Chauncey Gardiner’s alive and well …

edited October 2023 in Off-Topic
”Remarkable how many politicians remind me of Chauncey Gardiner from the movie ‘Being There’.
(Reader comment posted to Bill Fleckenstein’s website yesterday)

Gosh - Ain’t that the truth? Scripted … Coached … Rehearsed … Above all else, repeat thyself … repeat … repeat … repeat …

Feel free to disagree.

  • So what's to disagree with?
  • Just some CYA
  • Par for the course:

    Crash Davis to Nuke LaLoosh:
    These are your cliches. They're your friends. You need to know them, you need to use them:

    I'm just glad to be here and I hope I can help the ballclub.
    That's so boring.

    Of course it's boring. It's SUPPOSED to be boring.
    I'm gonna take each game one day at a time, and the good Lord willin', at the end of the season, we'll end-up on top.
    WRITE IT DOWN!
  • Yeah. For sure.

    @Crash - You probably recognize this short refrain from a famous musical:

    Give 'em the old three ring circus
    Stun and stagger 'em
    When you're in trouble, go into your dance
    Though you are stiffer than a girder
    They let ya get away with a murder
    Razzle dazzle 'em
    And you've got a romance


    One of the cheapest seats in NYC. i attend about every other time I’m in the city. Never grows old. So damn true.

    Thanks @Crash.

    The quality of this at The Ambassador in NYC has varied greatly over the years. But it’s always a hoot! The cast keeps changing / evolving. Better in earlier days. Under $100 still gets you a front row lower level mezzanine seat. Small theater. So that’s right on top of the action. Less than half the price of most other shows.
