WOODY TAKES ON THE WARMONGERS
WHEN George Michael released his controversial record Shoot The Dog about the War on Terror he was instantly torn to pieces by the right-wing gutter press.
They attacked him for being an "anti-9/11 pop pervert coward", said his career was "down the toilet" and generally abused and ridiculed the singer for airing sensible, compassionate views shared by the Daily Mirror and many millions of British people.
The message from these fascist, homophobic bully-boys was clear: "Agree with us or we'll bury you."
So relentless and nasty was their attack that George began to fear he might never return safely to America again - and sales of his record inevitably suffered as a result.
But today he is publicly supported by a powerful new celebrity voice.
Hollywood superstar Woody Harrelson says the ex-Wham! star was "brave and brilliant" to raise doubt over the War on Terror. Woody adds that the Mirror's coverage of the conflict has been "bold, right, amazing".
The problem for the right-wing, slavishly pro-American bully-boys is that Woody is one of their own. An all-American hero who plays macho roles in blockbuster movies.
And he's not gay, either, so they can't even whack him for that.
By praising the Mirror and defending George Michael, Woody knows he'll get flak back home. And he'll get personally degraded by The Sun, the New York Post and other nasty little rags.
But Woody has shown that not all Americans share their President's warmongering values.
The Mirror is not anti-American. But we are increasingly disturbed by the conduct of George Bush as he marauds around the world, settling old family scores and blowing things up.
Secret polling carried out by Tony Blair's inner circle reveals most Britons also have a deep suspicion and dislike of this incredibly right-wing, intellectually challenged and trigger-happy President.
Disasters such as Vietnam happened because governments were allowed to proceed with them by lapdog media and weak opposition voices.
If Tony Blair thinks he can quietly sneak Britain into a war with Saddam Hussein because his mate George Bush wants him to, he should think again.
Remember White Men Can't Jump? Pleeeeeaaazzze this guy is a joke. I think I remember that Woody launched a line of clothing made from hemp. Now I need a clever line about Woodster smoking his clothes.....:-)
ROTFLMAO!!! Okay, that's reaaly over the top.
Woody who? I am sorry, but Woody hasn't been 'hot' since Cheer's and even then wasn't all that 'hot'.
Yeah, ol' Woody showed his intellectual skills in stellar roles in quality movies like "Natural Born Killers" and "Cowboy Way".
