Oliver Stone! “I made a movie in which the President’s head gets blown off in the middle of Dealey
Plaza, and it was entertaining because it was a thriller!” he said in a voice as loud as his pink socks.

The pink socks matched his pink eye.

Remember, President Bush said:

"We will smoke them out of their holes. We will get them on the run. We will turn them against each other..."

Heheheh.

GWB was right. Look at 'em attack each other. Can't run very fast with all that double decaf latte in 'em.

It's ALL about THEM, isn't it?

What a pathetic group of human beings they are!

MEMO TO THE ENTERTAINMENT AND ARTISTIC COMMUNITY:
Just SHUT UP and act, SHUT UP and direct, SHUT UP and sing, SHUT UP and finance---just do what you're paid to do and SHUT UP when you're not doing it, for crying out loud! I'd just as soon ask you for advice on world events as I would let you work on my car or remove my tonsils. I'm not interested in what goes on behind the scenes and how much you suffer for art! I'm only interested in the finished product. Nobody cares what you think! You aren't paid to think and you do a lousy job when you attempt it! Just be artistic and SHUT THE HELL UP!

You sure do have that right. These people will never be relevant and never will be as far as I am concerned.

“I appreciate Christopher’s wit, appreciate some of his points, but will not tolerate his disrespect!” she said.

Mr. Hitchens’ eyes flashed. “How would you know?” he said. “I haven’t dissed you yet.”

Now if only They'd realize how irrelevant they are.....

Did you see what the New York Post quoted Hitchens as saying to Oliver Stone:

"Excuse me? Revolt? It was state-sponsored mass murder, using civilians as missiles. To say that this attack in any way resembles the French Revolution means you are a moral idiot, as well as an intellectual idiot. The man has completely lost it."

[Liz]

Saw it....... Hitchens got off another good one.
