Re: Denzel Washington
Your perspective on Denzel Washington is completely wrong. I should know, for I know him very well. I've known him since High School (Oakland Academy, New Windsor, NY, 1968-1971)
Denzel is looked upon as being a great actor. What few people know is that Denzel would probably have been successful at ANYTHING he tried. I always thought he would have been a good comedian because he was the funniest person in the school. His gift was that his humor was not vulgar or offensive in any way. He has conducted his life in the same manner. What a laugh that someone like you, obviously having nowhere near the success he enjoys, sits in judgement with a trash mouth and a sick mind. All you have done is proven once again, what a classy guy he is.
Anyone see this segment?

>Did you see the Denzel Washington interview with Katie Couric on NBC last Friday morning (13 August 2004)?
Not many people are talking about it. They are wishing it would go away and are trying to sweep it under the rug. But it's not going to happen! It basically went like this.
Meryl Streep and Denzel were on the today show "live" with Katie Couric to >talk about the movie "Manchurian Candidate." >>At one point Katie asked Denzel, "have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?" To >which Denzel replied, "No, and I have no intentions on seeing it." Katie >and Meryl were "so noticeably" taken aback! It was so cool!
>Then, a discourse (or more preferably, a fight!) began between all three >of them with Denzel being barraged with all kinds of anti-Bush, >anti-republican comments, but "the man stood his ground" and soon enraged >the women so much that they couldn't get a word in edgewise. Meryl Streep >turned blood red and she sat with her legs crossed and her one leg shaking >up and down, fuming! Then Katie uttered the words that put the final nail >in her coffin, she said to Denzel "you see, that's the problem I have with >"you people."
> >She of course did not get to finish her sentence because Denzel pounced on >her verbally by responding "YOU PEOPLE! YOU PEOPLE! Just what do you >mean you people! Do you mean "You People" as in me as a Christian, or do >you mean "You People" as in me as a REPUBLICAN? She then tap danced her way through the next minute of the show. But Denzel went out fighting and >declaring that Fahrenheit 9/11 is nothing but propaganda and lies distorted to support a cynical democratic film director's views.
