Political joke

Could be read two ways: "I'll bet you this. If Mary Poppins and Dick Tracy vote on Election Day, they'll vote for John Kerry."

But who will get Lex Luthor's vote?

I do wonder about my interpretations of characters' political views. I always thought Scully was a Republican and Mulder didn't vote. In Smallville, I'm guessing almost everyone's registered Republican, though I wouldn't be surprised if Lex thinks he would have voted for Perot and McCain if given the chance. What do you all think? Is Martha a closet pinko? (Skip obvious Lana joke.)

Interesting! I want to believe that Martha secretly votes Democratic, but I'm not sure -- I wouldn't even place a bet that she's pro-choice, since she might see abortion as the ultimate Bad Thing given her own wish for children. I love your explanation of Jonathan's views.

Hmm. I never thought of that. I would hope that if that were true that Martha would be both against abortion and pro-choice, but it's hard to say. The Kents have a well-developed sense of the importance of personal privacy, especially post-Clark, but I don't know if that would translate to pro-choice views.

btw I love your Real Genius icon! I just got that on DVD a couple of weeks ago. *love*

Are there good extras? I have the videotape but would definitely buy the DVD if the extras are nice.

You know, I'll have to check. I got it in the mail, popped it immdiately in the DVD player and watched it. (So good to see after all these years! I don't have it on tape.) Then I put it on my bookshelf. Much to my embarrassment, I never checked for extras.

From what I remember, though, I got the impression that there weren't many, if any. I'll double check on that, though.
