David Zucker & Hollywood conservatives take on Rosie O’Donnell, liberal lesbians, & the entire political left over the war [video]
”It’s almost like people who are gay, show up at the baths and say, ‘Oh, I didn’t know you were gay!”

”In the film, a rotund comedian named Rosie O’Connell makes an appearance on The O’Reilly Factor to promote her documentary, The Truth About Radical Christians. O’Reilly shows a clip, which opens with a pair of priests walking through an airport–as seen from pre-hijacking surveillance video–before boarding the airplane. Once onboard, they storm the cockpit using crucifixes as their weapon of choice. Next the documentary looks at the growing phenomenon of nuns as suicide bombers, seeking 72 virgins in heaven. A dramatization shows two nuns, strapped with explosives, board a bus to the cries of the other passengers. ‘Oh, no! Not the Christians!’ O’Connell’s work ends with a warning about new threats and the particular menace of the “Episcopal suppository bomber.”
Selection from the Weekly Standard article about David Zucker, a Hollywood Director who once created comedies like ‘Airplane’ and ‘Naked Gun,’ but after 9/11 says he has become a conservative convert, and is determined to influence the political process with his latest projects. His latest film “An American Carol” includes at least one gag about lesbians looking like boys and promises to make fun of politically active actress, Rosie O’Donnell. (The Weekly Standard)
