MIND READER

Unimpressed by the speedy liberation of Iraq, Edward Norton is jumping on Hollywood's President Bush bashing bandwagon.

As an actor I know in my mind watching him, what a low quality mind he has, Norton, whose chronic hamming helped ruin the film 'Red Dragon' with Anthony Hopkins tells the London Telegraph.

'Because I have been doing this since I was 5 years old, I know when a person is saying words that aren't their own-and it is apparent as it could possibly be to me that he is a mouthpiece, and not even a good mouthpiece.

'President Ronald Reagan was a B-Movie Actor, but at least he had the ability to touch certain emotional notes. Bush is just utterly incapable of it.'

Thought I'd check him out. Looks like he also went to Yale! So he's attacking a fellow Yalie. Not sportin' at all, I'd say.

Education: Graduated from Yale with a degree in history.

That said, I have no use for the likes of these morons who think they have more information than the Pres and our intelligence services.

WEll, if enough people react like I did, it might break his heart . . . . or his ego.

I think Dubya has vastly improved on his speechmaking since the 1999 campaign, you look at him now and there is no comparison.

Finally found his bio and I stand corrected. I just get so sick of high school dropouts or those without a college education calling Bush stupid when he was able to get into an Ivy League school and be elected president. I'll save my comment for the next moron.

From the age of 5 onward, the Yale graduate (majoring in history) has always been interested in acting.

Clinton never had a first-rate mind.

He had a good P.R. machine, and a compliant press.

[mabelkitty]

You are incorrect.

Mr. Bush is not talking to you, he is talking to Middle America, who understands what it's like to speak before a large crowd.

He isn't dispensing little soundbites to those professional polished types - most likely because they don't vote.

I thought everybody already knew this.

[new cruelty]

was that 'the 24th hour'? I missed that one.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Someone tell me how a tool like Norton gets to step out with this lady?

Well, for starters, her politics are as goofy as his, if not goofier. (Although she sure is a lot easier on the blinkers.)

I walked out on a screening of 'The 25th Hour', the film bored me to tears.

Ed plays a small time drug courier who has one last night of freedom before he starts a long prison sentence.

No.
Carney served in the US Army during WWII and was struck by shrapnel during the landing at Omaha Beach in Normandy. The resulting leg wound left the actor with a slight limp.

[My2Cents]

Wasn't he the guy on the 'Honeymooners'?

LOL. Yeah, the guy who worked in the sewers.

"Buying urban real estate and building strip malls gets you a Medal from BJ Clinton. Nice. "

I'm originally from MD. Actually, what Rouse developed (along with the mall) is housing communities designed for multi-racial dwelling, Columbia, MD being the prime example. It wasn't urban real estate; it was farmland.

My favorite pic of Salma, with apologies to Herb Alpert and the Brass..

[P.O.E.]

According to "Fight Club", Ed Norton is the "the all-singing, all-dancing, crap of the world"

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Thanks for the "eye candy"!

(What no pictures of her from Frida with the uni-brow?)

[jlogajan]

[RichInOC]

You'd better listen to Ed...he played Nelson Rockefeller in "Frida".

[CaptainJustice]

Grrrr.... I really like Ed Norton's work... he's really making it hard for me to want to see his new stuff now.

[E=MC²]

...I know when a person is saying words that aren't their own...

Gee, I wonder who wrote ed moron's little speech??? Looks like he is developing a honker like billy klinton's...must be a pinko thing.
