The Christian right think the more you mess around with people, the better off people are.

In my own experience, it's always the liberals trying to mess with me. They've made it impossible to smoke anywhere but on my own property, they moan about what I eat, and they always think that they can do a better job than I can raising my own children.

With the exception of a few door-to-door Jehovah's Witnesses, the Christians I know don't try to run my life.

More like an operatic recitative than singing, but it works for the character.

We had The Comancheros out of the library earlier this week; that's a minor part, but interesting. And I love him in Donovan's Reef.

C'mon now, what about Bronco Billy or any movie with Sandra Locke except for Sudden Impact?

Lee Marvin was a real man. I like Clint Eastwood okay, but he's so Californian.

"Its funny that the moviemaker stirring up the fuss is an icon of the right, a man the president's father aped when he said: 'Read my lips, no new taxes.'"

I think Mo is confusing Reagan saying "Make my day" with Bush Sr.--Eastwood didn't make "read my lips" famous. I imagine she was imitating her fave Eatwood character, the drunken hero of Unfogiven, when she wrote this.

Why is it when I think of Eastwood, the NYT, and Mo I think of "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"?

He has a couple of Colt Walker .44's in post 20 and I think a Schofield in your post. I was told they couldn't locate a Smith and Wesson Model 29 for the first Dirty Harry movie so they used a .41 caliber. I can't remember the model.

Poor MoDo. An Ann Coulter wannabe but without the talent or skill.
She was selected by the Times to fill their docile Irish Catholic position after the the previous incumbent (name escapes me) left. Believe it or not, the previous one was even worse (ah yes, Quinlan or somesuch).

Folks, the most telling sentence in this piece is:

"Mr. Eastwood's critics don't even understand what art is"

Such a sweeping insult, usually made only by the truely angry and ignorant. Dowd has white hot contempt for anyone who disagrees with her and her lunch bunch of elite liberals and celebrities.

I used to respect Clint but after seeing the handicapped woman on FOX explain what this movie is really saying, I've had a change of opinion about him.

If Frankie went to Mass everyday, wouldn't that be the logical conclusion. Something's not right here.

My dear, logical conclusion isn't something MoDo is fond of. On the contrary, she expects everyone, especially conservatives to accept and comply with her leftist agenda, whether it is the erosion of traditional moral values to socialist governments. Whoever disagrees with her is wrong, of course.

WHEN will Mo realize it's not the "Christian right" but the Liberals who want to dictate behavior, 1984 style? Sheesh.
