The Movie, The Manchurian Candidate, has figured prominently in the 2008 Presidential Campaign. The movie, orginally shot in 1962 starring Angela Lansbury and Frank Sinatra, and the remake starring Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington, revolves around a P.O.W who is interrogated and brainwashed by his captors, returns back to the US a hero, and his interrogators use him to attain the White House.

References in the news media have been made to both John McCain and Barak Obama as the Manchurian Candidate. However, the reference most closely resembles John McCain. Senator McCain was a P.O.W from 1967-1973, and upon his release, he is immediately regarded a hero in the U.S. There is a famous picture of a young John McCain shaking a then President Richard Nixon. Several years later, he begins his political career, rises quickly through the ranks, and is now running for U.S. President. The movie, with a few detours, closely resembles this path.

Created and Directed by Brad Bailey.

At any rate, this is meant to be a spoof- for pure entertainment value. Enjoy, Discuss, and VOTE!

  • Oh come on now.... McCain never looked like that. I pictured a young Elmer Fudd. This is a sex fantasy of some sort. That reminds me, is that Palin tramp in this video too?

    RIDICULOUS!

    I like the actor though. hubba hubba... I'd like to interrogate him myself. A nice BJ and he'd talk.....

  • I pictured McCain looking more like the young Elmer Fudd in those days. This is a fantasy rooted in some sort of sex thing.... Ridiculous. Thank god he lost 2008.

    Is that Palin slut in this video too?

  • Isabel Fagalde rules!!!! Remember this girl, she will be famous one day!
