'Man On Fire': Alvin Greene Wants Denzel Washington To Play Him In A Movie
In a new profile of Alvin Greene, the once-unknown Democratic senate nominee in South Carolina says if his story is ever made into a movie, he wants Denzel Washington to play him.
The New York Times profile refers to Greene as an "enigmatic jobless man," and reports that Greene has been contacted by "a publishing agent in New York and a screenwriter in California."
And, apparently, Green's already got Denzel in mind for the title role.
Hot Seat Time Machine Rand Paul's Greatest 90s Hits
In the late 1990s, Paul -- then a simple ophthalmologist and president of Kentucky Taxpayers United -- appeared on several episodes "Kentucky Tonight," a roundtable-style show on public television. He talked about the elderly dying at the hands of Medicare rationing; the need to privatize Social Security, which he called "a Ponzi scheme;" and the rights of the government to invest in racist companies.
We at TPM watched all five hours of footage, courtesy of KET, and compressed them into three minutes: The best of retro Rand Paul.
Some other gems to watch for: Paul advocates scrapping the tax code, compares Medicare to the fall of the Soviet Union and explains private retirement accounts. It could work, he says -- just look at the Chilean laborer who saved almost $1 million for retirement.
