IN A STUNNING AND UNEXPECTED TWIST, Bezos has cast DONALD TRUMP not as Lisa's husband Oliver, but as Hooterville con man "Mr. Haney."
More details to follow as I make them up because, well, I made all of this up.

She has surely rehearsed those scenes.

(249 posts)Quite a story about Eddie Arnold in the Marines. I think he skippered a Higgins boat. True Hero. A mystery to me is how did they operate vehicles on sets? They usually come onto the set and stop. Wondered if they are towed.

*****Mr. Haney would be perfect for Trump.

(3,446 posts)I used to imagine that the first time Melania saw the White House, she turned to Trump and said, You expeeect me to move here, to Hootersville??
Lisa Douglas had more class in her toenail than Melania has. Plus, Lisa loved Oliver, unlike Melania, who cant stand her husband and cant wait to ditch him to get back to New York.

(66,006 posts)Melania would be Daisy, of course. Bannon is Uncle Jesse. Don Jr and Eric as Bo and Luke, fighting over who gets to drive the car with the confederate flag on the roof, because racism. Poolboy Enrique as Enos, 100% getting in Daisy's dukes. JD Vance as Roscoe P. Coltrane. And stupid tubby DJT as Boss Hogg.
Too obvious?
