Grisham slams war, tells book's Iowa ties

Best-selling author John Grisham, taking his first major public step in presidential politics by planning to host an event Sunday near his home in Charlottesville, Va., for New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, said the current administration is built around "bad people with evil intent" and contends President Bush played politics as thousands died in Iraq.

Grisham talked about this weekend's event during an interview Thursday to discuss his new book, "Playing for Pizza," a fictional account of a Davenport and University of Iowa football player trying to revive a fractured career in Italy.

"The war is an immoral abomination that we'll pay for for decades to come," Grisham said near the end of a 40-minute telephone interview with The Des Moines Register.

Freeing 50 million people is immoral.

"I've always thought that they were bad people with evil intent

"Evil intent"? What an idiot.

I forgot this A—clown is a former trial lawyer. No wonder he likes to kiss the rat’s rear ends.

Once a snake, always a snake.

Read The Firm and nothing of his since... Guess I haven't missed anything.

"bad people with evil intent"

Well, I agree with the phrase - he's just aiming it in the wrong direction.

How ANYone can even be in the same room with Hitlery and not feel the evil is beyond me...

I remember when John had a little law office on Stateline Rd. in Southaven. Miss.

He was a decent guy, a Baptist deacon. Fame and money ruined ole John.

Fiction based on history is still fiction, a real writer can write history while making it interesting.

Only a no talent needs to add a bunch of crap to attract a bunch of morons who find an historical account boring.

Looooser.

Just another smarmy lawyer. Everything he, or any socialist-loving rich liberal has to say can be distilled down into: “I’ve got mine, and it won’t matter to me if we change the system, so I am now out for the ‘little guy’, as long as he doesn’t live in my neighborhood, mess with the views from my veranda, and doesn’t hang in the places I go to.” His books are as predictable as his self-serving politics. Fictional tripe.

Where in the Sam Hell does one think Grisham got his ideas for all of his books.....? He’s right in the thick of all of the corruption here in Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee...The Clinton’s are right up his alley...

At the risk of offending the mentally disabled, this is so... retarded. People who think this way, left or right are just, well, not too bright. Instead of debating policy based on principles and ideas, these, infantile idiots reduce their opponents to boogey men. They can't come up with real arguments, so they come out and basically call the opposition "poopy-heads". Childish behavior. The more I think of it, Liberalism is more than a form of narcissism, its a type of emotional and mental infantilism.
