I was watching Hamlet 2, and as much as i enjoyed show tunes with names such as "Rock Me Sexy Jesus" (in addition to being improbably moved), I believe that Hollywood is severely missing out by not releasing a spin-off featuring Cricket Feldstein, the needlessly profane and litigious ACLU lawyer played by Amy Poehler:
Cricket is a comic jewel that needs to have her own movie or TV series. Choice line: "The Justice Department and the so-called Supreme Court can suck my balls!" Right on, Cricket. Poehler isn't in the movie very much, but when she is, it's a veritable goldmine of ACLU jokes (which, I'll admit, is a niche). Other favorites include referring to firefighters as "firefuckers" and claiming that she's married to a Jew and therefore has "nothing to lose."
Contrast this with the lame attempts at ACLU-related humor in David Zucker's ozone of unfunniness An American Carol:
It's these sort of puerile attempts at "political satire" (on both the right and left) that make me glad to be a card-carrying member of the ACLU.
