Newt drops some facts against Gore propaganda

now, I know Newt is not my favorite person however, he drops some serious facts against the blatant lies that Gore fills the American public's head with. Gore will not be regarded by history as the hero he positions himself as.

fantastic review of why Wes Anderson movies are the way they are and who and what styles, people, and illustrators have influenced him. Watch the video on the right side. I'm a little biased, being a huge Anderson fan - my favrotie movie of all time being Rushmore, but I like all of his films.
