I really like Ron Silver. I think he is quite brave.

In this one-page interview, he says this about GW:
He is really a likable guy.
According to the interview, Silver was in the ROTC. He explains he is interested in intelligence, earned a Masters in Chinese, and attended law school for a time. He was recently nominated by GW to serve on some UN board.

One of the great 180 degree turns in my lifetime. I really admire the guy, and I hope he keeps up the good fight.

He cuts right to the chase, doesn't he?

I just love it that he is willing to call the shots the way he sees it -- even though he spent his life in another political party. As an independent, people like him just make my day.

Yes, I agree. It can't be easy to be as outspoken as he is, and still work in Hollywood.
BTW, I notice Alec Baldwin has become very quiet these days...

I didn't know he rolled on the liberals. I did know, however, that he was very articulate, and was not part of the hard left. Interesting.
To: stephenjohnbanker
I think he spoke at the GOP National Convention.

I agree with you that Silver is brave, especially considering the milleu he must still move in. For some reason he's always creeped me out to a degree (maybe it's been some of the characters he's portrayed, I don't know) but I deeply appreciate his stance on defending this country. And he's spot-on about the UN.

Ron Silver understands the inherent danger of not only the third world dictators that are forever wanting something for nothing (from the U.S. thru the U.N.) but more importantly, the obvious threat from the Islamfascists currently wreaking havoc in the world. He's letting his gut instincts tell him the truth rather than worry about being popular with the Hollywood elite lefties who hide behind gated communities and live in dream worlds you couldn't imagine.
I keep waiting for a bunch of them to leave the U.S.(Sarandon, Robbins, Steisand, etc.) now that George Bush was elected a second time. Maybe they'll go to the workers paradise (former Soviet Union or modern day China) or a nice little Muslim community some where in the Middle East or south asia that would enjoy their liberated views on sex, politics and religion?

From this interview:
NYT:
Are you aware that some people view your nomination as an instance of Bush cronyism, perhaps because you're not a foreign-policy expert but an actor who spoke on the opening night of the 2004 Republican National Convention?
Ron Silver:
I understand what you are saying about "why." No. 1, I am not a crony of the president. I have never been to Crawford.

To: summer
Like I said, he always struck me as a highly intelligent guy who had not seen the light. I will add Silver to the Tammy Bruce Convert file. Thanks for the info.
