OK, Pierce. Put up or shut up. Name one thing, one single thing, that President Bush has done that harms the environment.

[SoFloFreeper]

Pierce Brosnan? Does anyone really care what he thinks? More importantly, does anyone really believe he thinks?

[gridlock]

The funny thing is that his first major break came on Remington Steele where he played an extremely photogenic man who was as dumb as a stump. I guess it was type casting...

[TADSLOS]

Has Pierce Brosnan ever been to Iraq.....?

I didn't think so. Twit.

[tcostell]

Well if we want to use Brosnan as an example then it takes ...none. And to give him credit, he seemed nice enough.... just a dunce.

[rlmorel]

Dumb as a bag of hammers?

I've enjoyed him as an actor...I loved the remake of "The Thomas Crowne Affair", and thought he did the best job as Bond.

I read this, and this is not the same diatribe we see people like Sean Penn, Bill Maher or now, David Letterman making. He seemed to be reacting the way any of us might react if we were interviewed.

Bush is DOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMED!!!! Pierce Brosnan has come out against him.

What will George Bush do now?????

My guess is the President will pet his dog or something. Maybe feed the cat.

[Paul C. Jesup]

That's normal for the entertainment biz.

They must all be drink the same brand of bottled water. ;D

We need to findout which brand to avoid it.

[Socratic]

From the discerning mind of the man who decided to star in "Dante's Peak."

[seemoAR]

My list has been empty for many years. I do not care what some deviate on TV thinks or says. I have learned to start forming an opinion after I hear theirs. If they are for it I'm against it.

I would probably listen to John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Walter Brennan or some of the other old time movie stars if they were still around. My heroes have always been cowboys and I don't mean gay sheepherders.

He's not English - he's an Irishman with an American passport. . . .

[wolfcreek]

double 0 zero:>( :>=

[BlessedBeGod]

He became an American citizen a while back.

[Panerai]

"He became an American citizen a while back" - Yes he did, and if I recall right, the reason he gave for getting his citizenship was so that he can vote against Bush in the last election.

[SR 50]

... with an American passport. He was granted US citizenship some months back. He must have had to take an "Oath of Allegiance" to the US, or don't they make them do that anymore?

[BlessedBeGod]

...and if I recall right, the reason he gave for getting his citizenship was so that he can vote against Bush in the last election.

That sounds familiar to me. I think you're right.

[alnick]

I wish someone would be specific when they talk about what GWB had "done to the environment."

And as for the war, it's brutal, yes, but look at the Iraqi people. They're no longer being fed into meat grinders. They've been liberated and are voting. They can speak their minds in public. They have a wonderful future ahead of them.

[Ranald S. MacKenzie]

The Irishman admitted he risked a backlash like other stars who have spoken out about Iraq. He told the New York Daily News: "You speak up as an actor and people will shoot you down hard and fast.

What a dishonest From what I've seen and heard coming out of Hollywood and New York I'd have to say that this statement is 180 degrees from true. The vast majority of the powers that be in the entertainment industry are unabashed, flaming, anti-American leftists.

If Brosnan had issued a statement saying that he fully supported the war in Iraq and understood Bush's reasoning in going in, his career would be even more moribund than it is now.

I don't think he's being dishonest. I think he and others in Hollywood see the world through such warped lenses that they believe this is true.

[Ranald S. MacKenzie]

Scratch the "What a dishonest" from the second paragraph in my post above. Oops.

[RoadTest]

"He's the most photogenic man I've ever seen in person, but he's as dumb as a stump.
That's normal for the entertainment biz."

Yeh. I agree with what Michael Savage said, "Hollywood actors mouth other peoples words; they don't have any thoughts of their own" or something to that effect.
