Video: Tom Hanks Mocks Rove's New Book

Discussing Karl Rove's new memoir, "Courage and Consequence," Stephanopoulos asks Hanks, "You ready to read about this?" "I can't wait to buy Karl Rove's book when it's discounted in the discount bin," Hanks says. "He has a right to write a book. It'll be interesting to a degree. I'm sure he's going to just blow the lid off of everything and tell the complete truth about those 8 years."

The “whore?” I love when women are vilified in a situation like that. To my knowledge, Ms. Wilson did not put a gun to his head.

I have heard his name but did not have a clue as to whom he is. Read further down about Bosom Buddies and looked it up. Started lol when the first site which popped up was for breast feeding supplies! Kind of made my day.

We all have the right to boycott anyone we don’t like, but if we did that to every Hollywood loon, we wouldn’t have much else in the way of entertainment.

May I recommend that you explore some other forms of entertainment that aren't tainted by those on the left?

For example, in music, the inspirational, upbeat sounds of Southern Gospel (Kingsmen, Gaithers and many more) have a country flavor with a happy, positive message and without the loony left agenda.

For film enjoyment, a number of great Christian movies are being released. To pick but one example, ``Facing the Giants'' is uplifting, deeply moving and I'm sure it puts anything by Tom Hanks and his ilk to shame.

Do you know why those movies were on constantly? There are many other shows which I would have liked. Enough already.

Hope he doesn’t have any movies coming out. We’ll show him what mocking is. These stupid libs underestimate our power.

The poster said this:

I lost all the respect I had for Hanks...

which, to me, condemns both parties of that sordid mess.

Or can homewreckers no longer be "vilified" at all?

I’ve pretty much given up on Hollyweird altogether.

Mostly though the film was about his unlawful firing because of his AIDS and because he was homosexual. It was about righting an injustice.

I haven't seen the film, ``Philadelphia'' nor will I watch it so I can't dispute your point concerning its agenda.

But how can a firing be ``unlawful'' if the individual fired has AIDS? IMHO, that appears to be just cause. I certainly don't want to work around homosexuals with AIDS and, if I were an employer, would immediately fire such an individual.

Related question: Anyone know about Travolta’s politics? Apparently From Paris with Love is a decent flick: US hard-azz cop goes to Paris and scandalizes (then turns) his French partner by simply exterminating large numbers of jihadists. NOT PC!

Who IS this guy...??? Hank Toms??? Where did he get his degree? Just what the heck does HE know?

He reads lines somebody writes for him...says a lot of curse words on the screen, and takes off his clothes while something on the set explodes.

A very apt summation. I just checked his bio and found he was born, ``raised'' and ``educated'' in the People's Republic of California. That in and of itself pretty much says it all.

Our Fresno-based host gets a special exemption, of course. :-)

There are great movies out there other than the contemporary Hollywood fare that is culturally repugnant, ideologically obvious as well as poorly produced, directed and acted. I get a lot of great movies via mail...old film noir American classics and great foreign films..”My Life as Dog”, “The Lives of Others,” “After the Wedding,” “Blackbook,” “Oldboy” and many others put all Hollywood dramas to shame. Some have leftist notions but not prounounced to the extent that they overwhelm the more important themes of the movie.

Isn’t it the ultimate irony that Hanks and Hollywood are supporting a Marxist, anti-capitalist like Dear Leader. Yet, it’s only because of capitalism that they became wealthy; wealthy at a job that requires they pretend to be someone they are not.

How many wealthy movie actors are there in Russia, China, Indonesia, Iran, Syria, etc. etc. etc.???

It’s a pity that liberals are so blind to the true evil in this country.

Firing someone with AIDS is about the same as firing someone for having cancer.

Good point. It is ironic.
