Nine Points about Hanoi Ken Burns, who is now doing Redsock propaganda

In case you haven't heard, the Civil War profiteer plans a film to glorify his masters at the Redsock Nation. Should we be surprised? Nine points to ponder about "Ken"

1. The bastard's originally from Brooklyn. His dad probably was a Dodgers fan, who hated the Yankees.

.

2. He went to college in Amherst, a hotbed of radical Redsock fundamentalism, where his hatred crystalized.

.

3. He believes in ghosts: "I believe in spirits. I, I've always said that one could, you know, that my job was to listen to the ghosts and echoes of an almost inexpressibly wise past. Um."

.

4. He's chock full of fucking bullshit: "Um, jazz is the only art form Americans have ever created, and – a hugely instructive story of who we are, and the fact that it's diminished only represents that it's in a trough right now. What I have been interested in over the last 35 years is, is asking one deceptively simple question, which might suggest that I've been making the same film over and over again –and that question is, who are we? Who are those strange and complicated people who like to call themselves Americans? What does an investigation of the past tell us not only where we've been, that is to say, the past in the stories I'm telling, but where we are and where we're going."

.
5. He says "um" a lot.

.

6. He makes coffee table books.

.

7. He has the gall to edit his pro-Redsock manifesto in NYC.

.

8. He intends to air his Yankee hate-screed next October, during the playoffs.

.

9. HE MUST BE STOPPED!
