I’m so sick of the meaningless, trivial media coverage of the presidential candidates that I have stopped watching news on television (CNN and MSNBC and FOX are not television news, they are television entertainment) and reading political coverage online.

The media is covering the candidates like it covers Britney Spears and Jay Z, which gives me less intellectual nourishment on important current issues than I get physical nourishment from eating Pirate’s Booty.

I’m even getting tired of comedians (and this includes Maureen Dowd), trying to be funny at the expense of the candidates and to the detriment of meaningful issues. I can’t wait for the race for the nomination and for the election to be over. I’ll wait to find out why whoever wins does win when I see the movie or the HBO series.

The movie will tell the story in a highly dramatic way, and tell it with 20/20 hindsight that will explain how inevitable the outcome was. Denzel Washington will play Barack Obama, Meryl Streep will reprise her role in “The Devil Wears Prada” and play Hillary Clinton, and Clint Eastwood will walk on his knees and play John McCain. The casting can be done in advance because, no matter who wins, any one of those actors will look presidential.

I don’t want to go through the agony of watching the current destruction of the Democratic party or a continuation of the destruction of the Constitution by the Republican party. I just want it to be over. I want to see the movie.
