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.

Then, I am an expert on eastern Canadian maritime provinces because I raise Labrador Retrievers.

I camp in the woods, Ask me about bear excreata.

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

I have dachshunds and a rottweiler, I guess that makes me FreeRepublic's local expert on Germany...

[Johnny Crab]

He shoulda' stayed at a Holiday Inn Express and maybe he'd have more than 1/2 a clue.

Does that mean folks with Romanian AK's know a lot about Russia AND the middle east?

[television is just wrong]

LOl, My fav too. I make Irish stew with it. Once I made ice cream with it.

I'm having the time of my life...
And I owe it all to you...

[verity]

"because I’ve been raising Arabian horses”

I hope he is not doing anything else to them!

[O Neill]

If I teach you to dance, will you help me clean out the barn later?

"I have to confess: I am not a fan of Debbie Schlussel.
I heard her bragging in a radio interview about being a size 2. "

She's either in the latter stages of terminal cancer or ANOREXIC.

[bpjam]

I'm sorry, but who are you again????

[Solamente]

I've seen some of his films, and having grown up in Brooklyn, we catagorize a guy like this as "half-a-fag." That's not to say he's homo, but he's in a Passive Limbo unto himself because he certainly isn't a natural man.

[Iscool]

I have a few Beatles CD's...Therefore, I are a Rock Star...

[OpusatFR]

I went to a dinner theatre last week so I guess that makes me a bigger star than ol' Pat.

Is it just me, or does the left have a fundamental problem with logic.

[IDontLikeToPayTaxes]

Dang, say it ain't so, Pat !

Does anybody remember how HUGE of a star this guy was circa 1990, after Ghost hit the theatres? I used to feel kinda sorry for this guy, because his career totally took a nose-dive since the mid-90s. But now, good riddance, Mr. Swayze.

[Tribune7]

Yeah, but Red Dawn is still among our greatest movies.

[GWfan]

Yep. He crashed his plane in AZ. VERY close to where I live. Drunk as a skunk and had some locals help him get rid of the evidence.

He thought he was at his ranch in NM, but he was in Northern AZ. What a loser.

You have more knowledge than me, then!
