If only there were more people in Hollywood like this.LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Hollywood filmmaker David Zucker, a lifelong Democrat who once advised ex-president Bill Clinton (news - web sites), has unveiled a new movie lampooning Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry (news - web sites).
Famed for his blockbuster comedies "Airplane!," "Naked Gun," and "Ruthless People," Zucker has branded the Democrat an indecisive flip-flopper and thrown the power of his wit behind President George W. Bush (news - web sites).
The mocking attack came in a new film released by the Republican-supporting group Club for Growth just days ahead of the November 2 election that promised to be one of the closest races for the White House.
"I was really a liberal Democrat until 9/11," said Zucker, referring to the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on US targets.
"There is no question in my mind that President Bush (news - web sites) is doing a great job fighting the war on terror.
"We can't trust Kerry to do that. I wanted to do something, but since no one was asking me to make policy speeches I made this ad," Zucker said in a statement.
Hollywood is traditionally very Democratic-leaning and one film producer who came out as a Republican in Tinseltown said recently that people reacted as if he had been "exposed as a serial killer."
