Going pro-Bush in Brazil
Morgan Freeman isn’t among Hollywood’s Bush bashers. The “High Crimes” star was in Brazil recently and told people that so far, George W. has been a “perfect president.”
The actor met with the Brazilian president and participated in the country’s celebration of African heritage. Freeman opined that black Americans have made strides toward equality. “Our society is gradually improving,” our source quoted him as saying. “We always speak about the duality between whites and Afro-Americans, but it seems to me that the questions now are about the Latinos and Asians. Nobody speaks for them.”
Freeman impressed the country with his eloquence, but then went on to shock them with some rather unstatesmanlike behavior.
The actor was invited to meet Brazil’s President Fernando Henrique Cardoso and had to wait about 15 minutes for the meeting. “He asked the photographers to avoid taking too many pictures of him,” our source says. “Naturally, his request was denied. So he went on to pose like, well, you know, Michael Jackson’s gesture to touch his, you know. Everyone was pretty surprised.”
Freeman couldn’t be reached for comment.
What you say is true though, Bruce Willis.. Mel Gibson..Eastwood..Ahnold all were not well known as Libertarians/conservatives until they were successful enough that it didn't matter.
That's Sergeant Major to you son. Now, drop and give me 25! ;)
Go into the garage, look for the sporting equipment storage area, locate a ball bat, and whack yourself with it. You will feel better, then you will remember to take your medicine.
Now go do as your told, and don't forget to call your therapist this afternoon and tell him what a naughty boy you have been.
Perhaps not, still was great to see him walking on base saying to a private wishing him good morning.. 'How do you know what kind of GD day it is?'
After you catch your breath, let me know if you RBAs support your hero on this one.
No, I made a comment about you. If you couldn't see it, I'm not surprised. I just don't want you to hyperventilate too much on one thread. Take deep breaths, underwater.
I like seeing 'colorless roles' like his POTUS in Deep Impact... it wasn't like, "Hey, I'm a black President! I'm the President -- and I'm black! Look out, whitey, 'cause I'm in charge now!"... He was just a well-played President who happened to be black. Sort of like Glenn Close in Air Force One as a VP who happened to be female, without a bunch of discussion or self-congratulatory fanfare over that fact.
Interviewer asks if the Master Sergeant was really that much of a tough SOB (as portrayed by Elliot).
Reply from vets, unanimous (or nearly so):
"He captured the Sergeant perfectly..."
Danny Glover is an avid socialist. It's a shame he had to be in so many movies with a good guy like Mel Gibson.
I am not in favor of new entitlements. However, the vast majority of Americans seem to favor this welfare statism so until that is changed such proposals do not cause me excessive pain. At present my main object is assisting the war against the followers of Islame who are attacking us.
Until the population changes its thinking we will not escape such proposals. This can only be done gradually and slowly and will never be done by people who cannot understand the difference between Democrats and Republicans or by third parties.
People who understand politics understand that compromise is a necessity and sometimes they won't get all that they want at the time they want it. Childish people otoh think their way is the only way and unless they can get what they want when they want it then they will just blast and attack.
You won't see me attacking Bush as long as he is providing leadership against the main problem the attacks from the Murderous Morons of Mad MO (Piss be upon his head.)
Hey! No wonder you like this new program, it will help you pay for your mental illness meds with someone else's money! I should have figured that out right away.
