'Team America' Trounces the Left
Just puppets on a string

The movie “Team America” may turn out to be this year’s guilty little pleasure for those who are politically Right-of-center.

The flick from the “South Park” creators skewers just about every sacred cow out there. And while it’s at it, it cleans the Hollywood Left’s clock. For kitchy comic effect, in its presentation the feature uses puppets on strings. Viewers go along for a ride with the Team America international police force as it goes off to conquer terrorists the world over and thwart the evil ones’ use of WMD.

Michael Moore is featured, too. The “Fahrenheit 9/11” film-foister is routinely depicted with junk food in one or both of his hands. He has the distinction of being the first Hollywood Lefty to bite the celluloid dust. Others soon follow.
