Politics as Show Business

Who says politics isn't show biz? Donald Trump may be the hottest sensation since Peter Finch shouted, "I want you to go to the window and cry out 'I'm mad as hell and i'm not going to take it anymore'!" Finch won an Academy Award for that. What might The Donald win?

Meanwhile, on our home and native turf, we think the team of Harper, Mulcair and Trudeau is ready for a remake of "The Three Amigos." They may not yet have the box office appeal of Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short, but wait 'til you hear them harmonize!

And how about a musical? We think that's a natural for politicans. But no, wait--the show has already been written, by Burt Bacharach and Neil Simon. It's called "Promises, Promises."

(The second line of the title song goes to the voters. It's "Promises, promises, I'm all through with.")
