Last night, I caught a bit of Boston Legal, a David E. Kelly program that is exceptionally partisan in nature show, but portrays Denny Crane (William Shatner) as an old school New England Republican.
In a discussion with Alan (James Spader), he says he's voting for McCain. Alan is shocked and asks him to give two reasons for voting for McCain. Denny's first reason is salmon. With a McCain win, many Americans will flee to Canada where they will learn the salmon population is in danger. With American ingenuity, these people will find ways to repopulate and save the salmon. His second reason is liberal women upset of four more years of a republican would make them depressed and vulnerable and in need of a shoulder (or a bed).
Later in the show, the two get into a paintball fight when Denny says the tax issue is important and Alan argues that 95% of Americans will get a tax cut.
It's a shame Mr. Kelly couldn't write in a valid argument Denny Crane could've made about his decision to vote for McCain. I would've had Denny say, "Checks and Balances" and argue the case for it to Alan. Denny Crane is a clever lawyer and could've made the case for McCain. Of course, I don't believe David E. Kelly would want to make a case for the Republican candidate.
