Matthew McConnaughey's Patriotic Tribute at the Oscars

-----snip-----

Actor Matthew McConnaughey made a floral tribute to U.S. troops by pinning red, white, and blue flowers to his lapel.

My wife noticed it too. No mention in the press of course.

[sbelew]

Anybody have a website/guestbook for him? Might be nice to give him an Anti-Freep.

Don't mention the bongo incident, though ;)

Marty Ingalls and Mrs. Partridge arrive at the Oscars.

[borkrules]

Yeah, nice flowers, Matt.

What I want to know is: what's the attractive decoration that's pinned to his arm? Now THAT'S my kind of patriotism!

[Paul Atreides]

Isn't he from Texas?

[HairOfTheDog]

My Goodness he is hubba hubba!

At first I thought it was the Miller Lite wrestling girl, Kitana Baker, but her name is Michelle Smith.

[Texas_Jarhead]

i dunno. i thought i recalled some anti-US remarks made by him. i could be wrong but for some reason the residue of a bad impression persists

[SengirV]

Wasn't McConnaughey found naked and stoned with another guy while police were investigating a call about a noise problem at a house?

[Argus]

I meant our local press. The LA Slimes.

Damn right! He's one of the good guys. I met him once in a bar, with Sandra Bullock, both were extremly cool people and talk with for about ten minutes, very easy to talk too. That bongo incident was pretty freaking funny!!!

[LowOiL]

Awesome picture socal-parrot. Thank you for sharing it.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

I believe that was Woody Harrelson you're thinking of.

[kstewskis]

LOL!! Marty (and Matthew) are alright! :)

Naked bongo orgies aside, McConnaughey is a good guy. Met him a couple of times when I lived in Austin.

[CyberCowboy777]

Matt is from Texas, then so are the Dixie Chicks

I understand he is a Libertarian of sorts... mostly because he likes his weed, anti-WOD.

He is a strange fellow, I saw him on SNL.

I think he was in a film that pissed me off... can't remember though. I do know he has been in a few films I liked.

[HairOfTheDog]

Naked bongo orgies aside...

I would not be opposed to the idea of Matthew McConnaughey playing Bongos naked.
