Actor Tom Cruise decided to sue the four reporters who planned the water incident at the movie premiere, "War of the Worlds", who took place in London in Leicester Square. A spokeswoman for Cruise said: "Tom wants to take action but we will decide in due course what that will be. He is not just going to forget about it."
The four men who put this together were hoping to make a joke, but Cruise wasn't amused by this incident and kept popping the question "Why would you do that ... why would you do that ... why would you do that?" [Uh, because you're a twit, Tom?]
As the reporter offered a barely audible excuse, Cruise said: "Do you like thinking less of people, is that it?" "That's incredibly rude. I'm here giving you an
interview and you do that, it's incredibly rude." Cruise then said forcibly: "You're a jerk ... jerk ... you're a jerk." [Tom seems to be repeating things in threes. Is that some kind of Scientology rule?]
The journalists were arrested and released on bail in the same day. source
"This is not a scandal book intended merely to gratify the reader's salacious interests. Instead, Mr. Klein has written a serious political and psychological biography of the most likely next Democratic nominee for president — and thus, quite plausibly I fear, the next president of the United States. .....
......The anecdote continued with Nixon's recollection that he had thought that Bill Clinton was too nice to provide world leadership: " 'He doesn't scare anybody.' Then Nixon added, as though he had a sudden insight: 'Hillary inspires fear.' Nixon explained that a few minutes after the meeting started Chelsea Clinton joined the group. The kid ran right to Clinton and never once looked at her mother. I could see that she had a warm relationship with him, but was almost afraid of her mother. Hillary is ice-cold. You can see it in her eyes. She is a piece of work — 'Hillary inspires fear.' Of course, for Nixon, that was a high compliment."
I've been trying to figure out how squirting water at someone is assalt. Maybe from one of those water cannons at the Wet and Wild but ... Never mind that water is the lamest thing one could squirt at Tom.
Also from the I watch this crap so you don't have to file...
During Dean's screed yesterday at the Paint the Nation Blue (Can these folks get any dippier?) meeting, he's surrounded by the other special speakers and at the beginning of his speech Steny Hoyer and Durbin were among the small crowd on stage. Ten or fifteen minutes into the speech Dean promises that Hoyer will soon be the house leader. Cheers erupt, Dean looks around, the camera pans, yet there's no sign of either Hoyer or Durbin, they've exited, stage left no doubt.
More important stuff to do like making half-assed apologies I suppose.
