“‘Homecoming,’ an episode in Showtime’s ‘Masters of Horror’ series, likely will be remembered more for its blatant political message than for its level of suspense and fright. In this production, Jon Tenney stars as David Murch, one of the president’s key speechwriters, and Thea Gill plays Jane Cleaver, a nutty, name-calling political analyst with more than a passing resemblance to Ann Coulter.

When the two are guests on a ‘Larry King’-type cable show, Murch tells the mother of a dead soldier that he, too, wishes her son could return home. If he did, Murch said, the young GI would tell her that the fight was not in vain. Oops, bad move. Murch’s words are enough to stir the dead, and what they have to say doesn’t exactly jibe with the president’s talking points.” (Reuters)
