TCM's Ben Mankiewicz makes me glad he is a Dem [View all]

When he hosts various films his personal commentaries are always entertaining but when he mixes current political events with his commentary it is gold. He was one of the Young Turks for a time I believe, very much a Dem!

Tonight when he hosted Yankee Doodle Dandy he said, "It is Independence Day in the states and it is the day many years ago we freed ourselves from the shackles of the incredibly polite Canadian oppressers, pretty sure that's what they're teaching in schools. Tonight's 249th Birthday...Yankee Doodle Dandy."

I wonder how many people understand his political comments.
