Wasn't one of Jack Nicholson's first movies "Little Shop of Horrors?"

Frickin' hilarious commercial, though.

OMG that is funny!  Perhaps McCain could do a similar one with John Wayne.

====================================
Unlikely, Wayne  being dead and all.

The estate could issue consent, but I agree that it's probably not gonna happen.

And if it did, Wayne isn't the big draw he once was.

Bigger than Cary Grant or Jimmy Stewart, but the 20 and 30 years olds see The Duke as a museum piece. What does he know about post-Cold War politics?

Nicholson can poke fun at people, because he's a great comic actor. Wayne had a few funny lines, but he's not Jack Nicholson.

Funny you should say that, I'm a huge Jimmy Stewart fan.  But I agree, the relevance is probably questionable.
