Richard Gere And Charlize Theron Bash Bush

Actors Richard Gere and Charlize Theron joined in on a bash, but this time it had nothing to do with a party; instead it had to do with bashing the President of the United States and the war in Iraq.

While at the Venice Film Festival, both actors openly criticized the Bush administration.

"How did we elect Bush twice?" Gere asked rhetorically while promoting his new film, "The Hunting Party."

In the film, Gere plays a reporter determined to track down Radovan Karadizic, who has been hiding for more than a decade and is charged with genocide and crimes against humanity for his role as an alleged architect of the Bosnian war.

"What's interesting to me is how do the bad people among us end up our leaders?" the 58-year-old actor said at a news conference Monday.

In "The Valley of Elah," Theron plays a New Mexico detective drawn into the case of a U.S. soldier who disappears just days after returning from a tour of duty in Iraq.

"The decision-making process for going into Iraq was very hastily done, and I think the facts weren't there, and I just don't think you go to war for those reasons," Theron, 32, told Associated Press Television in an interview. "I think the thing that upset me most was the manipulation that our government did towards our people, manipulating them to believe that if they weren't for the war, they weren't patriotic."

George Clooney has said he made "Syriana" and "Good Night, and Good Luck" out of anger for being considered a traitor for questioning the decision to go to war. He told reporters at Venice last week that he believes Americans are now in the process of fixing the mistakes of the last few years.

The festival ends Saturday with the awarding of the top Golden Lion prize.

"How did we elect Bush twice?"

"How did we elect Bush the Klintons twice thrice?"

We’re not the only people who immediately think of gerbils. Gere really shouldn’t open his mouth about anything now days.

"How did we elect Bush twice?" Gere asked rhetorically

Of course, he is probably getting flamed on Kos and DU for admitting that Bush was elected and not selected.

Is she an American citizen?

[peeps36]

The Hollywood homos are so drugged up that they think they speak for the average American. Richard Gere has more in common with male gerbils than he does with American men. I don’t think that combining Richard and George would make up even half of a man.

[Dick Vomer]

why not ask these guys...they are just like Gere and Therion... entertainers, jesters, the geeks at the carnivals, the bearded lady and the man who plays show tunes with flatulence....

I'm supposed to care why, again?

The reports of somebody bashing Bush or boo hoo-ing how bad we are is laughable.

Gere, Clooney and the rest are cowards that benefit by the honor of hundreds of thousands of men that have died so these little pricks can go around the world and not be beheaded.

Have Gere go to China and protest in person, on the street and organize the Chinese against the actions in Tibet. He'll be somebody's b#tch in a Chinese prison..... if he made it that far. Let Charleze flash her t#ts or show her legs in Tehran.... after she was raped, she'd be stoned to death for allowing the rape.

these cowards are so predictable.
