Robin Williams Blasts Bush

[What Is Ain't]

Funnyman Robin Williams has launched a scathing attack on President George W. Bush and his decision to go ahead with war on Iraq.

The "One Hour Photo" actor also criticizes what he sees as his country's mixed messages when it comes to national security.

Let's see....he's washed up, he's not funny, he's ugly as sin and now he wants us to know how much he hates Bush.
It all makes sense now.

[Terriergal]

lol!

Anyone notice that with roles in films like "One Hour Photo" and (I forget, that other one he played in last year with De Niro, I think), Williams is taking on a much darker persona?

Or is it that he's finally being cast to type?

>>>Bush wants to wage a war that costs pretty much a billion dollars a month.

Cheap at the price. That's around $3 apiece, per month. Say $10 for our family. I think we can tighten our belts. Especially if it helps prevent another 9/11, which I believe it will.

LOL....we need to go back to SILENT FILMS (and actors)....maybe we could boycott them until they give us the "silent treatment" again....LOL. (I wish.)

Interesting thing about that blurb: It doesn't say where or under what circumstances Williams made these claims. It's almost as if Robin had them intentionally planted in the column. Maybe someone really big studio thug producer in Hollywood got wind of a rumor that Robin wasn't towing the line and was about to reject him for a part he really wants bad.

[Illbay]

Hence his quip about "Mel Gibson WITHOUT Danny Glover..."

I got it, SubMareener.

I wouldn't believe everything you hear like that. The only place I've seen this stated is on FR...the same place where we saw that Geraldo Rivera was "kicked out of Iraq."

[goodnesswins]

I thought I heard that Robin entertained the troops recently? If so, guess he won't be invited back.

[Natural Law]

Who cares what WIlliams says? No body takes him serioulsy, its in his job description.

This guy has got to be the most annoying person ever. Remember when Rush played his "comedy show" for a Democratic gathering a few years ago? He had to beep out pretty much every word.

[hometoroost]

Amen, my thoughts exactly. It drives me crazy to hear my sons say "and he was like." We work on eliminating that from their vocabulary every time we hear it. Anyone who speaks as poorly as most Hollywood actors has no business saying anything about the way Bush speaks. There are not many Ivy League grads in Hollywood but there is one in the White House.

By the way, was Dubya's daddy Vice President the last time Williams was actually funny?

Haven't these idiots learned anything???

Aw, crap! He WAS one of my fave comedians. He could make me laugh so hard. Now...forget it.

===================
You took the words right out of my mouth. (sigh)

Cue the Queen music:

"...Are you happy? Are you satisfied?
"How long can you stand the heat?
...Another one bites the dust.
Another one bites the dust.
And another one's gone...and another one's gone...
Another one bits the dust..."

We have a president for whom English is a second language.

There's some truth to this one.

(close the border!)

[Moose4]

I think I liked him better when he was snorting half of Colombia's GDP up his nose every week.

Just another freaking idiot.

What's this "he's like" crap? He's trying to sound like a 13-yr old, or he's on the cocaine again.

And for the record, if "Johnathan Winters" wasn't on his show "Mork & Mindy", it would've died before the third season.

I went to www.mci.com and gave them a piece of my mind re Danny Glover. It is likely water off a ducks back...but felt good!
