	Being There: Society, Media, and Stereotyping :: cinekklesia
		Chauncey's role as a catalyst can be seen as his seemingly innocuous presence in the Rand household brings about the events of the film.
		While Chauncey simply reiterates the basic logic behind the gardening tasks to which he was raised, the audience takes his words to speak metaphorically to the current political and economic climate.
		Chauncey does nothing to combat this judgment, responding to all questions politely and without knowledge of the possible implications of his words.

	Chauncey Gardiner Named To Supreme Court (The Colossus)
		Although few details about the shadowy, lifelong Washington resident are known, he was immediately denounced by much of the conservative blogosphere, who would have preferred Judge Janice Rogers Brown, because of the much prettier bonfire that her nomination would have made.
		Critics maintain that little is known of longtime Bush insider Gardiner, despite reassurances from Vice President Cheney, who praised Gardiner's "optimism, and good solid sense" during a telephone interview with Rush Limbaugh conducted from Cheney's zombie and hurricane proof bunker underneath Red Rock mountain.
		Cheney laughed off the notion that the nomination of Gardiner might provoke a conservative backlash, saying that he had "plenty of ammo stocked up, if they want to come get a taste of it." To emphasize the point, Karl Rove punched a few codes on his computer system, activating the facility's perimeter chain guns.

		Thinking him to be one Chauncey Gardiner, she insists that he come with her to her palatial home, where her doctor can see a leg injury.
		Surprised by Chauncey's quiet, unassuming manner (the gardener is not in awe of the world leader - he does not have the capability to be excited), the President is further caught off-guard by Chauncey's remarks about current conditions.
		Eve, who is enamored with Chauncey, also hopes for some sexual fulfillment with the prophetic visitor, but a sexual misunderstanding ensues when Chauncey tells her, "I like to watch." He means television, of course, but Eve, thinking he wants to watch her as she arouses herself, complies.

	Being There script by Jerzy Kosinski and Robert C. Jones - December 16, 1978 Draft
		Gardiner, a most intuitive man, 'As long as the roots of industry remain firmly planted in the national soil, the economic prospects are undoubtedly sunny.' Rand starts coughing, breathing heavily.
		Gardiner, the fact that you occupy such a position in the world of finance makes you ideally suited to provide our millions of viewers with an explanation of this nation's economic crisis.
		Gardiner, that was very well put indeed, and I feel it was a booster for all of us who do not like to wallow in complaints or take delight in gloomy predictions.

		The Presidentâs epistemic assessment of Chaunceyâs words is based on his reputation, established by the social network they are sharing: a friend of a reliable person - Mr.
		We may also add a âconfirmation biasâ in the Presidentâs interpretation, that is, he tends to reconstruct what Chauncey said in a way that confirms what he already thinks and hopes of the economic conjuncture in United States.
		What Chauncey said is just further âfoodâ for his thoughts and helps him in coming out with a positive interpretation of the bad season in Wall Street, a message he will repeat immediately after the dialogue on television.

	Is Being a Muslim Much Travail in Trviality? - Farid Esack
		“Being There” by Jerzy Kosinski is the story of Chauncey Gardiner (played in the movie by Peter Sellers), an enigmatic but distinguished man who emerges from nowhere to become an heir to the throne of a Wall Street tycoon, a presidential policy adviser, and a media icon.
		Chauncey's straightforward responses to popular concerns are heralded as visionary.
		On this religious road well-travelled, Farid Esack’s vapid reflections and insights are weaved in with present day pop psychology (a PR guru’s dream) and finally contriving legitimacy by dropping in names and events.

		When Gardiner is befriended by socialite Eve Rand (Shirley MacLaine) after a minor traffic accident, he becomes the beloved friend and confidant of her dying husband, Benjamin (Melvyn Douglas).
		Since Benjamin Rand, a multi-industrialist and self-proclaimed "kingmaker," pulls the strings of the incompetent President Bobby (Jack Warden), Gardiner is immediately thrust into the role of presidential advisor.
		But Chauncey Gardiner is really Chance the gardener —; a man-child cast adrift when the estate that housed him closed after its wealthy owner died.

		When Rand dies, members of the board of his companies decide that Chauncey Gardiner is obviously the best candidate to become the next President of the United States.
		As usual, Chauncey is oblivious to everything, and wanders around Rand's estate and goes across a small lake, walking on the surface almost like Jesus.

		Chauncey remains oblivious to the doctor’s words and continues to speak about Ben, who is about to die.
		Chauncey’s name becomes the supreme choice because he has no past to hurt him and his ideas appeal to the television electorate.
		Chauncey Gardiner’s name was derived from Shirley MacLaine’s character mishearing him saying, “Chance the gardener.” His garden-wisdom that mesmerizes the public keynotes his naturalness, his absence of pretense and phoniness.

		Even, Eve loves Chauncey and when she comes on to him, he tells her he likes to watch-Eve performs for him and she certainly enjoys item but Chauncey is still watching television.
		Chauncey becomes a household name, although he is quite oblivious to this as his life centers around what television show he will watch from day to day.

		According to Kosinski's metaphorical fable, the TV-idiot, Chauncey Gardiner (Sellers), bumps his way to the mansion of influential, dying financier, Melvyn Douglas and his younger, sex-starved wife Shirley MacLaine.
		So limited is Gardiner's intelligence that his communication consists only of child-like imitations of people he has seen on TV or references to his beloved garden.
		The inspired collection of TV clips climaxes when MacLaine tries to seduce Gardiner while he eats breakfast in bed, all of his attention focused on his TV and the irrepressible Mr.

	Going Private: The Virtues of Flatland
		Here he acquires admirers who rename him Chauncey Gardiner, mistake his ignorance for profundity, and take his horticultural allusions for zenlike koans.
		The result is an often comic demonstration of the old turn of a phrase to the effect that heaven keeps a special eye out for fools; or perhaps, that to the eyes of a shallow public, a blank slate takes the form of the viewer's own biases.
		Faced with disclosing the fraud to the wealthy king maker, Rand, Allenby instead remains silent, understanding, perhaps, that the crushing realization may be too much for the enthralled patriarch to endure.

		There is something of Chauncey’s naïve confidence in Dubya (and that may be a big part of his appeal to semi-educated voters).
		In Kosinki’s story, Chauncey remained the perfect, holy fool to the end, which was his tragedy.

		Before Truman Burbank, before Forrest Gump (more on that connection later), there was Chance the innocent gardener and Chauncey Gardiner, confidant of Washington power brokers and cipher for humanity’s hopes and fears.
		Like his name, a series of happenstances quickly transforms Chance from a simple gardener to Chauncey Gardiner, sage visionary quoted by presidents and desired by the rich and powerful.
		Spinning homilies about "tending the garden," Chauncey affects all in his ever-increasing orbit, completely oblivious of how he just might be the new Adam, the next step on our evolutionary ladder.

		John Paul Powell, a proud graduate of NASA's Space Camp, serves as chauncey's frontman on keys, lead vocals, and the occasional toy xylophone, while Eliot Hunt adds depth and dimension to the chauncey sound with his atmospheric approach to guitar.
		Jake Zuckerman steps to the plate bold and brash with a guitar technique and musicality steeped in a solution of old rock'n'roll and boot kickin' country; while bassist Jon Bistline and drummer Shawn Marquis provide propulsion to the group.
