"Mr. Lamont Goes to Washington"

Scarce's film trailer and Photoshopped scene from the movie over on My Left Nutmeg gave me an idea, and here's my quicky (if two hours of editing is quick) attempt at elaborating on the concept.



About 1:30, 2.5MB

UPDATE: I've made some minor changes in the video that cleaned up a bunch of little problems; I think it looks and sounds a lot better, but you all know how much of a perfektionist I am. UPPER-UPDATE: The old version had been deleted.

If elected, how would Lamont treat the "special relationship" the United States government has with Israeli government, with respect to the Palestinian/Israeli "question"? Would we see more of the Lieberman non-solutuion, solutions? Or could we expect something different?

As I am a Lamont supporter I certainly appreciate what you're saying. Getting rid of Lieberman is
paramount. But, the concern I have is for a more objective approach to the baffling Israeli and Palestinian situation. The
Israeli's were enfranchised by the United States, England and France, and given their own homeland, rightly, subsequent to their near total destruction at the hands of the Teutonic monsters during WWII. Shouldn't the Palestinians, a long oppressed people be accorded the same consideration and given the same rights to a homeland? If Mr. Lamont is elected and continues the same Bush-Lieberman policies toward the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, and there is no policy change by America, then I fear a nuclear world war awaits. It is my firm contention that there will be no peace in the Middle East until an Israeli-Palestinian compromise is reached. And it does seem that Ned Lamont is one of our best hopes to that end. Even though I think Mr. Lamont is a huge improvement over the disgusting DINO, DLC lacky Lieberman, I think it's time politicians and candidates address in a straightforward manner the primary resentment on the Arab street of the unevenhand the U.S. has lent the Israeli's in their sad struggle with the Palestinians. It's not just Lieberman that must be stopped, it is the chickenhawk boy king we have for a president that must be disgarded. The main reason I respect Ned Lamont so much is that he speaks truth, as opposed to truthiness. That is why I want to hear from him on this most critical issue. The most important issue before us I believe, is to change direction in the Mideast. Lieberman's policies on the Israeli/Palestinian problem is the road to destruction. I believe Ned Lamont has shown in his pronouncements against the illegal Bush Iraq war, his determination to stand for principle. I just want to hear his views on solving the Palestinian and Israeli quagmire. I think it is a fair question. And I have a great deal of confidence that Lamont is very much up to addressing the issue.

I saw on another blog that Ned Lamont is a teacher in public schools. Is that true? If so, what does he teach? I'm curios because I'm a public school teacher.

O.K. - Ned Lamont teaches a course about business at an inner-city high school in Bridgeport. By profession, he's a VERY successful businessman, but he still finds time to share his knowledge and experience with city school kids.
