So I was talking to Doug Netter this afternoon, who had in turn spoken with Bruce Boxleitner earlier in the day about the year 2 DVD. In the course of that conversation, Bruce mentioned something that Doug in turn mentioned to me.
To wit:
Bruce had been at the White House about a month ago, in the company of wife
Melissa Gilbert, president of the Screen Actors Guild, for a discussion with some of the functionaries there concerning acting roles moving north of the Canadian border.
As they're talking, in a long conference room, in the middle of the meeting the door oens and Karl Rove -- main strategist for the Republican Party and power behind the White House throne -- comes in. He says (paraphrased from memory) to Melissa, "I hope you'll forgive me, but I actually here to see Bruce."
He then tells Bruce, "I just wanted to tell you that I'm a big science fiction fan, and that Babylon 5 is the best science fiction television series *ever*."
Then there's a pause, and he adds....
"And the President thinks so too."
Upon hearing this, I went to lie down for a spell, but I fully expect to be back on my feet by Spring, latest.

A) Bush watches B5? Yeah, he strikes me as the SF type.
B) Oh, so they've got the fucking WHITE HOUSE involved in keeping us Canuckistanis from stealing their jobs? Jesus, let's not be afraid of competition or anything. "Ohhh, our teamsters have children to feed!" Well, they can move up to Oshawa like normal people, then.

Date: 2002-11-28 10:42 am (UTC)Yeah, yeah. I'll just jot it down in my little book and keep that comment for use later on. When the stormtroopers move north in a few months, I'm sure they'll be very interested in hearing what the indigenous peoples think about Reichsminister Cheney.
