Jack of All Trades Gives Clinton An Elderly Nod

Jack Nicholson is probably that much more qualified than his fellow thespians to endorse a Presidential nominee. After all, he did play one in Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! and... almost save us from impending doom.

And so in this latest endorsement-cum parody of the faux-politik of Hollywoodland, Jackie goes against the fur and bats for Hillary.



In fact, during his five decade tenure amongst the ranks of Hollywood royalty, Jack has charmed and spoiled us with an iron-fist full of politically charged undertakings. Certainly no one can say that inexperience is his downfall.

For example:

He proffered US-Chinese economic relations in The Departed by selling military hardware to Guangdong merchants. As the Joker he provided welfare benefits to the good people of Gotham City, as well as put on a parade worthy of an Academy Achievement in Art Direction.


In the touching About Schmidt he tackled the issue of America's aging and depressing population and courageously represented a nation's innermost fear of fat people in swimsuits. His exemplary work in A Few Good Men outlined procedures to be followed in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Jack bravely tackled the corruption that lay behind the LA County's debilitating water mismanagement in Chinatown, as well as cop one in the nose.



And as every "honest" politician, Jack has even openly discussed his '60s experimentation with marijuana and stint in jail in Easy Rider.



Add to this that he tore down a haunted house in the Colorado Rockies (The Shining), reformed the authoritarian treatment of mental patients (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) and made the world safe once more for old quirky arrogant men - who really outta get checked out - everywhere (As Good As It Gets).

Jack you have my nod!
