"The war against terrorism is terrorism. The whole thing is just bullsh*t. What you guys have done is very brave."

i wonder what mr. harrelson would have been saying into HIS cellphone on the 101st floor of tower one on 9/11.

[JessicaDragonet]

And all this time, I thought he was only PLAYING a dumbass on Cheers.

"What do you mean you can't get to me?!!! Do you know who I am? I'm Woody Harrelson!!! Now move!"

What else could we expect from a liberal dope fiend whose father was convicted of murder?

I work for a commuter airline here in St. Louis and up until a year ago we serviced Marion, Illinois. This home to FCI Marion, one of the worst prisons the US runs. Anyway, Woody would fly on us monthly to go and visit Dad in the Bureau of Prisons facility for their worst offenders. The gate agents would call us in Dispatch gushing, "Woody Harrelson is flying on us today to MWA!" My statement to them was always,"Check him for dope."

The problem is, his Cheers character is light years ahead of him, on the intelligence scale.

Hollywood superstar Woody Harrelson says the ex-Wham! star was "brave and brilliant"

And I always thought he was "acting" in Cheers! Woody IS Woody.

[Paul Atreides]

Yeah. To the media, a lefty actor spewing bile to a lefty newspaper about a lefty pet cause is "brave." Yet, not one would do a positive article on a soldier, cop, or fireman who is out there risking his life to save the lives of others. Liberals are just a corrupt, festering pustule on the backside of humanity.

[Paul Atreides]

LOL! Has-beens supporting has-beens.

[Paul Atreides]

I know I usually ping you all for pics, but this got my blood boiling.

[no need for a name]

"The 41-year-old star - currently appearing in On An Average Day opposite Kyle MacLachlan at the Comedy Theatre"

totally off topic but didn't he play Paul Atreides in the film Dune?

[Paul Atreides]

Yep. And, he hasn't exactly tore it up on the screen, since.

[Wm Bach]

I would support to the death, a dink like GM's satirical bashing of GDubya. But in the same free speech vein, GM is a no-talent hack who obviously isn't up to the task.

Satire only works when you hit close to the truth, which is why South Park works. (ever notice that most of the be-cudgeoled in the latter are lefty statists?)

"The war against terrorism is terrorism. The whole thing is just bullsh*t. What you guys have done is very brave."

I DARE Woody to go to Afghanistan on a USO tour, and have this quote used for publicizing the tour.....what an idiot....

[chiefqc]

Now you know bettter, he's just an as* and he's not acting.

I'm sure we'll hear more from the block of wood the next time his orbit comes close to the earth.

[Paul Atreides]

Isn't it odd that there is no comment from Woodhead about the claims, by Bubba's camp, that W is using the Clinton administration's battle plans. Also, there is no comment about Bubba claiming that he was within a pubic hair of getting Osama. Also, where is his scorching commentary on Bubba offering to fight and die for Israel?

[MeekOneGOP]

What an Arse Woody is! Have you seen the video? I'll ping this thread with a link to the video. Sheesh ! Thanks for the ping.

WOODY'S ON SIDE: US actor defends
George Michael's anti-Bush single

Woody Harrelson

Snippets:

.....Woody Harrelson has taken another brave step - he's passionately defended George Michael over his anti-Bush and Blair single Shoot The Dog.

The 41-year-old star - currently appearing in On An Average Day opposite Kyle MacLachlan at the Comedy Theatre in London - has hit out at the backlash against the song's lyrics which criticise George Bush, Tony Blair and the war on terror since September 11.

At his play's after-show party on Wednesday night, Woody told Jessica: "I saw the Daily Mirror's front page on George Michael and I thought it was brilliant. I've always been a fan but he's right up there now. I think he's a great guy.

_____

Harrelson - who is famous for his role as the dim barman Woody in Cheers and who stunned audiences with his powerful portrayal of a murderer in Natural Born Killers - is the first American to stand up and defend the 39-year-old British singer.

The former Wham! star caused outrage by using the Daily Mirror's Howdy Poodle front page, which poked fun at the special relationship between Britain and the US, on the single's cover.

"I can't believe he got so criticised in America for it. It's so unfair," said Woody. "I hear he's too scared to go over to the States now. What a joke. I'd really like to meet George........I just want to shake that guy by the hand."

He also had nothing but praise for the Daily Mirror.

"I have one thing to say about the Mirror - it's amazing," he said. "The paper's stance on the war against terrorism is just right. It's so bold.

"The war against terrorism is terrorism. The whole thing is just bullsh*t. What you guys have done is very brave."

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
