Jack Abramoff’s previous career
Teddy Stern has posted a fascinating look at what Jack Abramoff was up to in the late 80’s: writing and producing Dolph Lundgren movies!
Back in the mid-1980s, after completing his term as Chairman of the College Republicans, Jack headed out to Hollywood to try his dirty hand at film producing. He produced just one film, Red Scorpion, a B-movie dick flick starring Dolph Lundgren. On top of producing, Jack wrote the story. Joseph Zito, the mastermind behind Friday the 13th Part 4, directed.
This is truly mindboggling. Be sure to check out the trailer!

Thanks for the link to my little monstrosity of a trailer remix! For another example of bizarre homo-erotic GOP-produced “artwork,” check out the pulpy lesbian novel, Sisters by Lynn Cheney.

I have a dream of a day when trailers are all we watch. “Watch the whole movie? Dog, that’s so 2006!” You sir are on the cutting edge!
I really have to wonder if Jesus was guiding Lynn Cheney’s hand when she wrote that one. Seems like Republicans are spewing out semi-literary pr0n at a far higher rate than their Democratic bretheren. No steamy thrillers from Hodding Carter or Madeline Albright, but the GOP has more “erotic” novelists than you can shake your stick at. I think they’re hoping for Hillary vs Condi in 2008, just for the sensitive lesbian fan fiction.
