Anyone know if the John Kerry doco Inside the Bubble is available for sale anywhere? It looks funny, from reading this story from newsmax.com:
Documentary Dooms Kerry’s 2008 Hopes
It may surprise you, but both John Kerry and Ted Kennedy believe Kerry is the frontrunner for the Democratic nod in 2008.
If the pair had any prayer of this, their hopes have been dashed with the release of a new documentary film made during John Kerry’s presidential campaign.
Pundits say it has torpedoed any remaining chance he has of running for the White House again.
Kerry allowed filmmaker Steve Rosenbaum to film the inner workings of the Kerry campaign and what Kerry’s team believed would be a victorious run for the presidency.
Now Rosenbaum has released the documentary, “Inside the Bubble” – and Democrats are likely to give it a decisive thumbs-down.
“The film has made such painful viewing that many Democratic insiders – especially those close to rival 2008 candidates – feel Kerry’s hopes of the White House have been forever ended,” The Guardian newspaper reports.
Unflattering clips from the film show Kerry pretending to interview himself, and babbling in Italian as he waited for a real interview to begin.
Senior aides are shown cursing and shouting at reporters. One shot shows Hillary Clinton rolling her eyes after Kerry slips up during a TV debate against George Bush.
In a bizarre moment, top Kerry aide Jim Loftus rants about an advance team’s inability to get a pony into a hotel room for a birthday celebration.
He fumes: “When I was an advance guy, if someone said ?get a pony on the 10th floor of this hotel in four hours’ … I would have said: ?What color eyes should it have?’”
On election day, as early exit polls pointed to a Kerry victory, Loftus hands over the data and remarks: “They have a word for that, and they usually write it in big black print on the front of newspapers and they call it a (expletive deleted) landslide.” Another aide comments: “I hear they are crying in the White House.”
Bush went on to win by three million votes.
The Guardian states: “There is little doubt that many Democrats (or many potential Democratic voters) will watch the film in horror. The impression is of a campaign and a candidate who did not really know where it was going or trying to say.”
we’ve had a number of folks step up who want to contribute to the film and provide interviews… so we’re doing a few more… then we’ll find a festival home, and then distribution…

thanks a lot steve. will do just that.
Todd, get a life. And a link, proof is always a good think bub. If you don’t have it, it is just your word. Not that I am calling you a lying piece of rubbish with nothing better to do with your time than be a prick by posting over and over again while demanding attention like Cindy Sheehan on speed.
Cause I would never say that about you.
“My idol” huh? Show me where I ever said that about Billy boy, I dare ya. No really, go ahead, show me where I ever said I even watched Billy. Hint: you can’t.
Prove it is a transcript, that is all I am saying, I couldn’t care less if it is or isn’t or if Billy is a liar or not. It’s just the fact that you want us to just take your word for it rather than showing proof for what you say. It smacks of arrogance and ignorance.
jay is replying to comments from stalker Todd who seems to want to post rants in every post that have nothing to do with the post itself. todd, for some odd reason, attacked jay and said bill oreilly was his hero (tho, ive no clue where he got this idea to begin with)…
just so the comments i didnt delete make sense. or at least some sense without the nonsensical rants of the idiots.
That Todd guy really needs to get a life, I mean, dude, if ya got a problem with Billy boy, take it up with him. Sheesh.
Just another in the long line of insane Libs out there.
hes a stalllkeeeer
You guys crack me up. I had a couple boring days at work so I’d thought I’d enlighten you about your boy O’Reilly, who Josh uses as a source quite often around here. Yet when I quote a source, Josh tries to discredit the source by pointing out their factual inaccuracies. A child could see how hypocritical this is. And now you are all slapping yourselves on the back, thinking you really showed me! but deep down you know you’re wrong.
Obviously the truth hurts, which is why my posts have disappeared.
If you guys really cared about your cause, “honesty,” you wouldn’t remain blindly loyal to people who make up facts quite often. You would have much more credibility and integrity if you admitted that O’Reilly lies from time to time. I pointed out at least 3 since I found this site. And I could post many, many more.
p.s. jay, some of my sources I got from MediaMatters
http://mediamatters.org/items/200405020006
Now, of course you will say, “But that’s a liberal site!” instead of reading the content and evaluating it. That’s how simple minded people work. You can’t get me on the facts, so you’ll discredit the source.
p.p.s. Josh continues to call my rants “nonsensical” without intelligently debating my claims. This is how you guys play ball. Try to enlighten yourselves a bit.
yea jay- intelligent people look at media matters knowing that its a left wing bomb throwing site and take their nonsense to heart. dumb people (like you…well and myself) look at media matters and realize it is what it is and ignore it.
Todd, take a sawbuck and buy a clue.
I never said “honesty” was my “cause” and I never said I even watched Billy Boy ever. Put the straw-men down and walk away.
And no, Media Matters has no cred with me. Just because something is on the internet, doesn’t make it true.
Why not link MoveOn.org while your at it?
If MediaMatters… or any site for that matter.. USES TRANSCRIPTS OF O’REILLY’S SHOW… that makes them CREDIBLE. In fact, I’ve heard the AUDIO of his lies. Trust me, if I had a Lexis/Nexis account and got the actual transcript and posted it, you would just change the subject (again). Do you realize that of course no conservative site would dare post content that exposes O’Reilly as a liar? DUH.
You guys will go to any lengths to ignore what is in front of your face. It’s called willful ignorance. And you are the majority party in this country. That is very sad and scary to me and the rest of my party who want this country back. We want it back from people like you who can’t argue for shit and who ignore facts. Your blind loyalty is destroy this country.
By the way, if MediaMatters just makes stuff up, why hasn’t anyone exposed THEM as liars? Huh? Because they don’t lie that’s why. Use your head guys.
ha one more… Josh dares to try to tell me what “intelligent” people do. That’s the best one yet! Hey Josh, intelligent people read the information and debate the content. The problem is you are not intelligent enough to read the web page that I posted and tell me why it’s false. You are not smart enough to debate me, which is why you keep descrediting the source.
Telling me what intelligence is… that’s fucking hysterical.
Keep fighting the good fight Todd, cause it is fools like you that help the Right win elections. So please, keep shouting from the rooftops about how bad us Right-wingers are. We’ll just keep winning elections, thanks.
If you had a Lexis/Nexis account then I would look into it. If the only site you got to back you up is Media Matters, well, all you deserve is the laughter aimed at you which you are unable to hear.
And since when was Billy Boy not only a Conservative but a representative of the entire Right? He is one man. And, as I said before, if you have a problem with what he says, bring it up with him and leave us alone. Last time I checked I was Jay not Billy Boy. Let me check again, yep, still Jay.
Fact is I could debunk O’Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc. all day. These are the guys you get your information from.
Jay, are you implying that the organization MediaMatters makes up transcripts from O’Reilly’s show and posts them on their website? And you call me crazy. If they are such obvious liars, please prove that. That is why O’Reilly refuses to address their specific claims, and won’t have them on his show (although he calls others “cowards” who won’t face him). It’s because they don’t lie.
I know that’s a tough pill to swallow. I know it’s hard for you to admit that any liberal website could actually get something right. The difference between you and me is, that I can actually agree with Bill O’Reilly from time to time. Hell, even Josh says something true every now and then. I don’t just assume that everyone who disagrees with me as a wacko. It’s called critcal thinking and you should really try it sometime.
And I would watch the dick-swinging. Sure, you’ve won some recent elections. But Bush’s polls are in the shitter. 55% of the American people would vote for a Democratic president if the elections were held today, and even more would vote for a Democratic House.
The pendulum will swing back, and then you won’t have a leg to stand on. And when it does swing back, you’ll do what your party is best at: smear. You find some bullshit excuse to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on to descredit whomever the Democratic president turns out to be. Because that’s all you got. You are all smoke and no fire. I’m actually getting bored proving that over and over again.
Keep on talking Todd. I could go on and on about how wrong you are. But you do such a nice job of that for me by just sitting down on your keyboard and typing things like that.
I mean, was there a sale of straw-men at Starbucks or something, cause you never seem to run out.
But swinging back, please. I have to comment on that. We took the House, we took the Senate, we took the White House. 2004 was the biggest ass kicking you guys have had in a while. Don’t just look at the prez election, look at it all. You lost more seats in the House, and Senate. Tommy Taxes was voted out as well.
The Left is totally out of the politcal loop. You guys haven’t won a national election by a majority vote in a long damn time. And you will continue to lose. For more info, talk to Zell.
Tell me, how does it feel to get your ass kicked over and over again? How does it feel to go after Bush and Rove and never have anything stick cause it is all bullshit?
How does it feel to be a Liberal in a day and age where people are reluctant to admit that they are a Liberal?
And think on how it will feel when we get the Supreme Court switch set back to “sanity” again.
Sweet dreams, loser.
Last I heard, Bush’s approval rating was in the low 30′s…
Poor united states of Mexico…
Yeah, keep swinging your dick and pretending that the majority of America hates the direction the country is going right now. The ruling party always comes and goes, like the tides. I think it’s very telling that you still don’t address me on the issues, you just fall back on the old reliable “but WE WON! HAHAHA!” It’s pointless rhetoric that just displays how arrogant and simplistic you really are.
…pretending that the majority of America DOESN’T hate the direction…
What “issues” Todd? Huh!? What that Billy is a liar?
News flash jackass: I don’t care, take it up with Billy O and not me.
I don’t watch him, I don’t listen to him pal. This is what a Liberal calls and issue folks. Attack some so-called conservative pundit and say that he/she lies. Then say that all cons are just like that and if you are not willing to run the so-called pundit out of town on a rail, it just shows how blind you are.
Stop attacking the pudnits and go after the issues as you say. Oh wait, you can’t, cause Liberals will never win on the issues, that is why they attack the man rather than the ideas.
Other than that the only issues you seem to have is with this “dick swinging” stuff. But hey, you gotta work that out yourself sir.
Now I am bored with you and this pointless back and forth, take the last word cause I know that, just as in real life I think, you love to go on and on. So please, reply cause I know you will, but this is the last you will see of me, on this thread.
And to soldier man:
Approval ratings mean shit, it’s elections that count.
You can rig a poll to show anything, and both parties do it.
Approval ratings mean shit, it’s elections that count.Can anyone say impeachment?
“jay is replying to comments from stalker Todd who seems to want to post rants in every post that have nothing to do with the post itself”
- I believe Todd’s reason for doing so was that you refused to respond to his refutations in the relevant thread. Todd seems like a reasonable guy, perhaps if you had simply stated you had no desire to continue the coversation he would have stopped. Regardless, Jay’s comments seem just as unsolicited and out of context as Todd’s. In fact, the only difference I can discern between the two is Jay agrees with you. Why not delete his comments as well?
“News flash jackass: I don’t care, take it up with Billy O and not me.”
- Didn’t Todd take it up with Josh? Didn’t you respond to his (deleted) comment? I’m assuming Todd originally brought O’Reilly into a discussion after Josh introduced him in a post. Seems appropriate to me.
“I don’t watch him, I don’t listen to him pal.”
- We don’t know that Todd ever implied you did. Such is the price of Josh’s inability to resist is fascist inclinations I suppose.
” Oh wait, you can’t, cause Liberals will never win on the issues, that is why they attack the man rather than the ideas”
- This type of bold declaration fills me with so much wonder and admiration! The sheer audacity leaves me eagerly anticipating the plethora of evidence Jay is no doubt ready to share with us to substantiate such a claim.
“Now I am bored with you and this pointless back and forth”
- Then why such a lengthy reply? You seem to have a good deal to say on the subject.
