Grover Norquist’s favorite movie of 2008 was Shine A Light — that’s via Steve Clemons — the Martin Scorsese-directed concert film of the contemporary Rolling Stones. What political implication does that have? None. People’s musical taste and movie taste are independent of their political taste. To draw connections between aesthetics and politics is bad for both.
Meanwhile, Dana Perino liked Slumdog Millionaire, which is a very good movie that you should see if you haven’t already.

Re: Shine a Light, as with all things Rolling Stone – way too much Jagger and way too little everyone else, especially Charlie Watts, Ron Woods and the always underrated Chuck levell.
Re: Grover Norquist – there’s not a bigger sack -o- shite to be found. I long for the day he moves to a country in which the government has been shrunk down to size and drowned in a bathtub – perhaps Zimbabwe or Sudan.
Mmm, I’d say that political beliefs are rooted sufficiently deeply in the psyche as to be connected with, if not reliable indicators for, one’s sense of aesthetics.
