pat harrington doing cliff robertson?


i'd like someone to ask pat harrington how he managed a reasonably dead-on impersonation of actual tpc spokesperson cliff robertson before robertson even got the job.

Great catch, and only one of many prescient moments in the flick. Maybe Ted Flicker had access to a time machine and/or some pure LSD from Sandoz AG.

Others include Kropotkin: ""This isn't a case of a world struggle between two divergent ideologies, of different economic systems. Every day your country becomes more socialistic and mine becomes more capitalistic. Pretty soon we will meet in the middle and join hands."

And after Dr. Schaefer first meets with the President, he's telling his girlfriend what a "great man" the President is, then goes on to divulge that "you'd think he'd be worried about Russia and China. No, for the last eight nights he's had trouble sleeping worrying about LIBYA."

Uncanny!
