Unsatisfied with this summers blockbusters (I mean, really? Green Lantern?), Andrew Breitbart toady Lee Stranahan came to the conclusion that what America really wants to see this summer is a movie about dicks, wangs, schlongs, johnsons, dongs, tallywhackers, heat-seeking love missiles, pork swords, beef bayonets.

#Weinergate Documentary Project
June 6, 2011 · 47 comments
I’ve been gathering materials for a quick turnaround Weinergate Documentary…and if I can raise the funds needed in the next 10 days, I’ll be able to get it out by July. (I have two other docs I’m finishing, so I need to knock this one out quickly)
The focus is Weinergate as seen as a media event – the triumph of the right-wing bloggers and the total crash and burn of the left wing. I’m calling it Weinergate: The Impotence of Liberal Journalism.
Click here for more info and please consider donating. There are some cool rewards, including credits, special edition DVDs. It’s on Kickstarter, a service for funding project – if I don’t get the total funding I need to do the project, you don’t pay.
And, in fact, the left wing did crash and burn which is why I am blogging this from a burned out basement with the full moon in my eyes, and why all of the liberal bloggers have closed up shop and now you have more time for getting right with Jesus and looking at porn.
As for the movie, Stranahan set a 10-day limit for acquiring funding ( a mere $7500) and, well, since Thursday is the 16th we’re bumping up against the drop-dead date when the option reverts back to, oh, I don’t know, maybe Philip K. Dick.
So how’s it going?
Like this.
Obviously would-be Weinstein brothers are unaware of the rewards that can come with bankrolling this potential blockbuster:
LIMITED REWARD 10 of 10 remainingSpecial hand pressed, limited edition of 10 DVD of the film — signed to you by me and a number of the film’s participants — custom packaging and surprises. A total collector’s item!
0 BACKERs
Feeling even more flush with cash and hankering to hold the reins of next years big splash at Sundance?
LIMITED REWARD 1 of 1 remaining
You get the WORLD PREMIERE: a special screening of the film for you – at your house, a party or local Tea Party Rally. I’ll do a short talk, a Q&A session and even screen outtakes. You can charge admission or use this event as a fundraiser. Or we’ll hang out in your living room. It’s your call! Continental US only, unless you want to pay to fly me out to your country and put me up.
Of course, if Stranahan can’t pull the big bucks out of a hat at the last minute (Andrew Breitbart obviously passed since all of his available cash is tied up in vodka futures) that doesn’t mean that Lee can’t make the movie. Hopefully he’ll still be able to pull it off without compromising his artistic vision.
Too bad though. It won’t be the same without the car chases and the exploding robots.

What in fuck’s name is a hand-pressed DVD?
He burns the data into the disc with a needle, a lighter, and a really strong magnifying glass?
Quick! Someone get John Aglialoro on the phone!
These kinds of guys are often as inept with their mixed metaphors as Tom Friedman is.
“Puzzled investigators confirmed that the left wing had crashed and burned, while somehow the rest of the craft stayed aloft and landed safely.”
It appears it is a non-professionally pressed DVD, ie, a cheap piece of crap made on a home PC. A total collector’s item! — indeed.
And then when he’s nearly done with one, he makes a mistake, and has to start over.
I hope the movie is narrated by Don Johnson.
Or perhaps Anthony Hardwood?
(still no backers at the $5K level)
(or the $3k level)
(or the $200 level)
Total haul to date: 1,000 dollars and absolutely no sense.

And the repressed little conservative inside them chuckle every time they get to say wiener or hear it on the televisions
“Or we’ll hang out in your living room…”
…and watch any of the Virgin Ben’s “Top 10 Conservative TV Shows” – your call.
This is just like “The Producers”.
Instead of Max Bialystok raising money from lonely widows, we have Stranahan raising money from penis-infatuated wingers. Should the Wiener flop… well the investors will have a soggy noodle on their balance sheets.
Dear Mr. Stranahan;
Congratulations on the formulation of what can only turn out to be the Citizen Kane of our times. However, I will be withholding my $1.43 donation – along with a priceless movie poster from Hellbound autographed by Mr. Chuck Norris himself – until I receive further details on the project.
Where are the trains? We need more

And for $5000, he’ll come to your living room and show you special penis outtakes that were too racy for the movie.
“I’m Lee Stranahan – a writer and filmmaker who was intimately involved in the story almost from the start. I blogged about it extensively and I was in near constant communications with some of the story’s central figures, bloggers and reporters throughout. I’m also someone who has seen too many people burned buy the liberal media…even though, ironically, I consider myself a liberal.”
Well, no wonder Lee’s not getting any funding…any potential donors are definitely NOT liberals. As I write this, news is breaking that Weiner’s resigning. Oopsie, nine hours to go? More like no hours to go.
Oh, and Lee? Learn how to fucking spell. And you wonder why no one takes you seriously when you can’t even get your own bio right.
Wait a damn minute.
If I give this cluck 5-grand, HE’LL COME TO MY HOUSE?
I’ll give him $10,000 if he’ll go stand out on the Serengeti in a meat suit.

I see what you did there.
No kidding about his spelling, he mistakenly spelled “dishonestly” or possibly “displaying a complete lack of self-awareness” as “ironically”. That’s not even close!
I’m also someone who has seen too many people burned buy the liberal media…even though, ironically, I consider myself a liberal.”
In other words, he’s a political Uncle Tom.
An example of a groovy and successful Kickstarter project:

Curiously, the bleg has this cryptic note attached:
Why 7:48pm EDT? Is that, like, a commemoration of the exact moment Wiener took the dick shot? BTW, not a single donor or penny more since TBogg put up this post. At this writing, only four hours to go.
Cool
I had a screenshot from five days ago. It hasn’t changed from then either.
Any edition of his DVD will be a (very) limited edition.
Bound to be a collectors item though. Just put it in the can with the rest of the stuff and they’ll come by and collect it.
The right’s version of the Vagina Monologues: Weiner Monotonylogues
Fuck Lee Stranahan and fuck Andrew Breitbart. These two paramecia have succeeded in ridding the Congress of the most depraved individual to sit there since…Larry Craig? David Vitter? John Ensign?? Please…I hope they are very proud of themselves, and I relish the thought of this POS being even less successful than “Atlas Shrugged: Part Monotonous”.
My guess is that it’s a stupid-code problem; funding is probably set to expire exactly 10 days after the project was submitted to Kickstarter.
And I just looked at the page; Weinergate never got a single penny beyond the amount in the screenshot above. I wouldn’t be surprised if the makers seeded some of their own money, like a busker having a couple of ones and some change in the hat when he starts performing.
