MIND READER

Unimpressed by the speedy liberation of Iraq, Edward Norton is jumping on Hollywood's President Bush bashing bandwagon.

As an actor I know in my mind watching him, what a low quality mind he has, Norton, whose chronic hamming helped ruin the film 'Red Dragon' with Anthony Hopkins tells the London Telegraph.

'Because I have been doing this since I was 5 years old, I know when a person is saying words that aren't their own-and it is apparent as it could possibly be to me that he is a mouthpiece, and not even a good mouthpiece.

'President Ronald Reagan was a B-Movie Actor, but at least he had the ability to touch certain emotional notes. Bush is just utterly incapable of it.'

What a loon!! Funny he didn't ask the Taliban and Saddam Hussein about his comments

[MEG33]

Who is Edward Norton and why should anyone care?

[ewing]

Wasn't he the guy on the 'Honeymooners'?

[cubreporter]

Useful idiot number ... gosh, I've lost track.

Edward Norton is an arrogant dungheap who hasn't done a decent movie since "American History X" back in the 90's. He's now only recognized as Salma Hayek's boyfriend... which is obvious, as this must be his pathetic attempt at some sort of publicity. lame.

[Living Free in NH]

OK. Another actor whose work I have to boycott. Who the hell is he, though?

[MEG33]

Wrong Ed Norton.

I LOVE IT when these people do this!

Their cognitive dissonance is so profound, they come off as loopy and muddle-brained as "Baghdad Bob" announcing the death of the Third Infantry Division as the sound of 3ID tanks can be heard in the background just a hundred yards away.

People see this, and conclude "these people haven't the slightest idea what the h*ll they're talking about" and will dismiss them as non-credible from then on.

Translation: "Bush isn't as good an actor as I am, so he must be an idiot."

< gleason > Norton, YOU are a lunatic < /gleason >

[ewing]

Norton peaked early in his career with that courtroom drama with Richard Gere and has been all downhill from that.

[MEG33]

This may be a clue..no one knows who he is so he gets a bit of publicity!

[pops88]

I know in my mind watching him, what a low quality mind he has

Ummm... Ed, did you go to an Ivy League school? I suspect not.

[Timesink]

Useful idiot number ... gosh, I've lost track.

This guy doesn't seem very useful.

[conservativeinbflo.]

yeah, he was in "Primal Fear" with Richard Gere. That movie actually made me want to punch him!

[mabelkitty]

Who cares?

He's filthy filthy rich via his family's old East Coast money, and that is the only reason this really really ugly guy got a job in Hollywood.

Look up his family. Ivy League, old money, Liberal, etc.

[ewing]

You are absloutely correct, Norton looks just about as sane as Baghdad Bob.

No wonder President Bush is at 75% approval...look at who we are fighting against!

[mabelkitty]

Man, he is ugly.
