Hollywood has-been Chevy Chase needs a boost for his lagging career, so to get some much-needed publicity he's launching another attack on our president.
"Even certified Hollywood liberals were reeling after Chevy Chase's potty-mouthed Bush-bashing Tuesday night at the Kennedy Center," the Washington Post reported today.
After fellow travelers Alec Baldwin and Susan Sarandon accepted some cheesy little awards from the hate group that calls itself People for the American Way, Chase, PAW's master of ceremonies, "took the stage a final time and unleashed a rant against President Bush that stunned the crowd. He deployed the four-letter word that got Vice President Cheney in hot water, using it as a noun. Chase called the prez a 'dumb [expletive].' He also used it as an adjective, assuring the audience, 'I'm no [expletive] clown either. ... This guy started a jihad,'" the Post revealed.
Chase raged, "This guy in office is an uneducated, real lying schmuck ... and we still couldn't beat him with a bore like Kerry."
PAW's president, Ralph Neas, clucked: "Chevy Chase's improvised remarks caught everyone off guard, and were inappropriate and offensive. It was not what I would have said, and certainly not the language People for the American Way would ever use in discussing any president of the United States."
PAW's founder, Norman Lear, who still hasn't kept the promise he made to the Wall Street Journal to move to New Zealand, said: "I thought it was utterly untoward, obviously unexpected and unscripted and all that stuff. And, uh - it was Chevy Chase. He'll live with it. I won't."
P.S.: Democrat soon-to-ex-senator Tom Daschle, the Post tattled, "looked taken aback when he went on directly after Chase."
Daschle's opening line: "I've had to follow a lot of speakers, but ...."
Chevy, please keep up the hateful ranting. Republicans need your help to win more elections.
I used to enjoy him on SNL. Not only did I grow up and don't watch the show anymore, I've grown tired of Chevy Chase's dull boring humor.
That is a bit of an overstatement. Yes, Fagan, Becker and Chase were members of the same band while in college in '67-'68. But that band dissolved, Becker and Fagan then played in other bands including 'Jay and the Americans', a band that achieved a moderate level of national success. After leaving Jay and the Americans, Fagan and Becker formed Steely Dan in the early '70's.
As much as I used to like him, he was always full of himself. You could see it as he tried to outdo those around him. The "look at me, look at me" mentality. Does anyone know if he earned a degree anywhere or if he even completed high school? I would be interested in knowing that.
Actually he was a valedictorian in high school, but in college he got kicked out of a couple schools for goofing off before finally graduating, IIRC.
Has been alert!!!
I'll try bb, I'll try. Cousin Eddie is the funniest one in the movie anyway. Can't make any guarantees though 8^)
This just in, Chevy Chase's career is still dead.
after ted kennedy rolled his olds into the canal, and leaving mary jo kopechne to die, i wasn't aware that liberals could be shocked!
See post #73.
My thoughts exactly. I never cared for any of his "work," as it were. He's a no-talent loser.
I'm sure the liberals were shocked, yah sure, tee hee.
Getting old is tough. First your looks go, then your talent ( if there ever was any), then your mind. Sorry Cornelius.
"Chevy, you ignorant nut..."
Thanks! :)
Just think - if Howard Dean gets the DNC chair, scenes like this one will become a common event. More expletives and hate-America speech.
Jumping the shark has become the local pastime in Hollyweird.
Rush is correct, they need him as much as they don't. In Chase's case it's more or less recognizing the addiction.
