Patrick Swayze: Middle East Scholar October 26, 2004 By Debbie Schlussel

Does consuming wontons at a Chinese restaurant make you an expert on Sino-American relations?

Patrick Swayze thinks so.

Just a week before the election, that’s the logic Swayze—the has-been “Dirty Dancing” actor—used in an absurd interview he gave to generate press for his wife’s latest failed film, “One Last Dance.”

Speaking with Agence France Presse (it figures he’d pick the French) while in Warsaw, Swayze criticized the United States for being “insensitive” and “disrespectful” in Iraq.

“I know a great deal about the Middle East because I’ve been raising Arabian horses,” he said.

I eat Italian ices, but, unlike Mr. Dirty Dancing, I’m not about to lecture Prime Minister Berlusconi about the economic situation in Florence.

I'm not a real actor, I just try to play one in real life.

Actually, he should hang around with some actors, then he might learn something about ACTING.

Hahahahahahaha, that is so funny " I know a great deal about the middle east because I raise Arabian Horses". I guess that qualifies me as an expert too because I have two persian cats.

I have a bit of experience with something too but it doesn't make me a gynecologist.

That could turn out badly. I speak as an expert, having watched The Godfather.

Every actor/ actress who has worked with this guy hated his guts. He is a narcissist and I've heard he's not the sharpest toool in the shed. Let's follow whatever he says. Not!

You too can go from borderline backwater inbreed to middle eastern scholar in just a few short weeks with Patrick Swayze's "Three Easy Steps To Making A Prophet!", now available on QVC.

Indeed. There was a typo above, when they referred to his wife. It should be "wife".

I figured that one out when he crashed his private plane when he was flying it staggering drunk.

Let the experts gather. "In my youth, I smoked some imported Afghani hashish..." Of course, I didn't inhale.
