"Indeed, because there just isn’t any money in it (unless you are in the oligarchy)."

Oliver, in a way, is an oligarch in this country. Why move? He may not fare as well elsewhere.

[Darkwolf377]

Stone is obsessed with machismo, among other (snort) things.

[blackbart.223]

"Not that useful."

They are to Obama Et Al. Certainly not to the rest of us however.

[Kimmers]

History was written by the losers and produced by Hollywood....

[VeniVidiVici]

“I really am stunned, and I don’t understand the negativity toward [Chavez] in the American press,” said Stone.

Spoken like a true Goebbels.

[Darkwolf377]

I hope Stone won’t mind when Hugo does a takeover of movie theaters and starts showing Ollie’s movies for free. I imagine we’ll see Mr. Macho shrieking like a little girl for his residuals.

Stone is obsessed with machismo

Well, it is human nature to want most whatever it is we do not have, after all... ;)

Case in point: Michael Moore.

Case in point: Michael Moore

... not to mention MSNBC, from stem to stern...

[Army Air Corps]

Exactly. Moore would not live in any of the countries he holds forth as shining examples of what a country should be.

[DemforBush]

"Actress Maria Conchita Alonso, who earlier in the week told theWrap that Stone’s depiction of Chavez was “all lies,” led a protest outside the theater before the screening."

I think it's time for a new rule at FR. Anytime there's a story about Hugo Chavez, we need to post a pic of Maria Conchita Alonso.

The fact that I've had a crush on her since The Running Man has absolutely nothing to do with this new rule I propose, of course. :-)

[Rome2000]

Stone and his fellow com-symps are domestic enemies within.

Whats coming in this country is going to make the McCarthy era look like child's play.

ZERO TOLERANCE FOR MARXISM IN DC.

"I hope Stone won’t mind when Hugo does a takeover of movie theaters and starts showing Ollie’s movies for free. I imagine we’ll see Mr. Macho shrieking like a little girl for his residuals."

He is just another limosine liberal who sees life one way for himself and another for the rest of us. A pox on him and his like.

[blackbart.223]

"Exactly. Moore would not live in any of the countries he holds forth as shining examples of what a country should be."

He would be much thinner if he did.

[Slings and Arrows]

I’m not sure how PMSNBC survives in a more-or-less capitalist country.

[dr_lew]

How does that work?

[Slings and Arrows]

Truly. Sergei Eisenstein he ain’t.

[Spunky]

Hi Jim. I am watching Primetime Family secrets tonight. It is about a person from your town. Marcus Wesson cult/killer in 2004. Real creepy.

[Army Air Corps]

True on many, many levels.

[Ticonderoga34]

Hugo Chavez is macho? LOL.

Chavez is a potbelly out-of-shape middle age man. If Chavez had to do anything manly, he would probably lose control of his bowels.

Chavez is just a poser and a phony who gets other people do to his dirty work for him. Sort of like American liberals.
