Sorry to let you know, but Cusack is an avowed Bush-hater and another Hollywood lib. There's a few sites out there that list stupid things celebs say... www.hollywoodhalfwits.com is one.
I usually ignore what these idiots say anyway. I like them for their work, but I don't have to like them personally. After all, if I boycotted all the liberal actors, comedians, and musicians, I would never be able to attend any movies or buy any music.
Oh I agree with you and I pick and choose.
But if they are loudmouths who are activists and go onto moveon.org etc., I WILL drop them.
I agree. They are 'muses' performing for our amusement, and nothing more. I don't solicit their negligable talents in the field of political commentary or ideological analysis. My reaction to their statements is "He/She said what?... so why should I care?" Admittedly it does cause me to re-evaluate my judgment of that person's perceived character and sometimes I simply don't wish to see their work any longer, as in the case of sarandon. Its too bad, I would have liked to have watched The Children of Dune. The first was done so well. Cusack, Penn, Ford, Depp and even Vigo M. all posess tremendous talents regardless of their judgemental shortcomings. Cusack is my contemporary, so I will cut him even more slack in the hope that age and wisdom may in time do for him what it did for me... enable a reflection on the logical contradictions and make necessary corrections.
moore should simply lay off the donuts as cannibalism is immoral. He's less than joke... which is often funny.
There is a great line from Atlas Shrugged that I always recall when I hear another muse attempt to elevate their meager significance to sophist politicus. (Mr. Willers, you may appreciate this)"
It is not advisable... to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener.(Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 1957)
As for this contest... I feel like someone is about to send me a free crate of ammunition. I'll be heading to the range soon and often.
