"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."

And now you too, Woody, had better be scared to come back to the States.

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

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

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?)

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.

It may amuse you, Usul, that Woody is over here in a play also starring Kyle MacLachlan.

One can only hope that Mr. MacLachlan is a touch more patriotic than his brain dead co-star.
