NEW YORK--Politics makes artists stupid. Take "My Name Is Rachel Corrie," the one-woman play cobbled together from the diaries, emails and miscellaneous scribblings of the 23-year-old left-wing activist who was run over by an Israeli Army bulldozer in 2003 while protesting the demolition of a Palestinian house in the Gaza Strip. Co-written and directed by Alan Rickman, one of England's best actors, "Rachel Corrie" just opened off-Broadway after a successful London run. It's an ill-crafted piece of goopy give-peace-a-chance agitprop--yet it's being performed to cheers and tears before admiring crowds of theater-savvy New Yorkers who, like Mr. Rickman himself, ought to know better.

"MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE.... AND I'M A MORON!"
There, I corrected the title......
What a POS, how could any person of sanity and judgment want to see such a pile of crap as this play?? Amazing how many leftists have a taste for shallow, puerile agitprop masquerading as "art"
LOL! St. Pancake.
Bulldozed by naiveté.... considerably worse than been mugged by reality!!
"Yassir, how sweet! You bought her a coffin!"
Depending on the mix used, pancakes can be kinda fluffy. Rachel seems more like a crepe girl, to me.
Lol!
Full of crepe, anyway.
More of a right-caterpillar-track conspiracy.
Actually I heard she wasn't a really firmly committed leftist. The kids at DailyKos were saying she was "kind of a squish."
d.o.l.
Criminal Number 18F
She's might not have been a firmly committed leftist before, but one wrong turn and OOPs, there it is!
