“King Corn” · Season 6
In this episode: Arnold Vinick (3), Donna Moss (1), Matt Santos (1)
I read about that education plan you introduced in New Hampshire. That's pretty gutsy stuff.
Saw the ethanol speech.
Well, that wasn't gutsy so much as suicidal. Or so my staff tells me... My staff is very proud.
Well, if they weren't, I was.
You're not an ethanol fan?
Not until today.
Mr Johnson, your platform would include paying the President, the Cabinet and all members of Congress a salary of one dollar a year?
Hell, yeah. Make 'em get a real job.
And you want to ban motorcycle helmets, color televisions, drop out of the UN, abolish Medicare and totally privatize Social Security?
You gotta get the government out of our damn pockets.
Sir, are you sure you're a Democrat?
Making a gallon of ethanol takes almost a gallon of oil. That's like saying using tonic water as an additive reduces our demand for gin.
Will you at least look at the ethanol report?
It's a classic study of a stupid policy rammed down our throats by special interests. Makes about as much sense as building patio furniture out of corn. But sure, I'll take a look.
