Who?

[karnage]

“someplace heinous...” in other words, a “s**thole.”

[ontap]

Second rate actor....couldn't remember a damn thing he's done. Vaguely recalled the name

[BlueLancer]

The only acting that he ever did that even was somewhat good was a bit part as one of the bad guys in Die Hard 2. I think he may have had one line ...

[bgill]

Whomever he is, he needs to stay the heck outta my Texas.

[dfwgator]

“Says here this candidate comes from New York City.”

“NEW YORK CITY!?!?!?!?!”

“Get a Rope!”

The demoncrapic party in Texas is all but dead.

They only reason they are still hanging around is that idiot people still line up to vote for them.

They have NO FORMIDABLE CLOUT.

NONE.

Real Texans know a snake by it's rattle.

Once ta year in these here parts there is a round-up of rattlers.

For which they then get turned into hat bands, boot hides and stew meat.

>>>criminality, cronyism, enriching himself, attacking the press, questioning the validity of facts<<<

I’ll wait until John writes a fact based Thesis.

[Mastador1]

If you want to show the real inner Leguizamo you should put up a pic of him as the Clown/Violator from Spawn.

“If I could I would run for office in Texas. I would run some place heinous to make a difference. Yes, I would run if my celebrity could get me elected...

Methinks he overestimates his celebrity

I have never liked this guy. I don't know what it is, just some visceral turn-off.

[TigersEye]

“If I could I would run for office in Texas. I would run some place heinous to make a difference."

Mexico is exceptionally heinous, John.

[Rummyfan]

The demoncrapic party in Texas is all but dead.

I thought all the Dems in Texas got together for a kegger in Austin a couple of times a year? One keg is enough...

[NorthMountain]

Here ya go ...

(Yuck!)

[Vendome]

Hollywood’s problem, Leguizamo told The Daily Beast, is “not making an effort. I mean, I have seen crazy shit. It happens that they’ll take story that had real Latino people in it and take them out and put white people in those roles, like they did in Argo (in which Ben Affleck played Mexican-American hero Antonio “Tony” Mendez).

“No, don’t do that, give us our stories,” said Leguizamo.

Well, without Affleck, no one would have seen this and Mendez was credited very prominently at the end of movie...

[dfwgator]

The fact Affleck was in it, meant I wasn’t going to see it.

[nickcarraway]

I haven't seen many movies with Affleck, but he was good in a small role in Boiler Room. Affleck played the equivalent role that Alex Baldwin played in Glengary Glen Ross

[sargon]

There are duplicated passages all over this posting...

[nickcarraway]

They just had Catherine Zeta Jones playing a Colombian drug lord.

[sargon]

Why post this hate-filled anti-Trump screed? And there is duplication all over the place in it!

Funny how this idiot lambastes Hollywood for not casting more Latinos, etc., when Hollywood is almost uniformly liberal. He doesn't seem to pick up on that contradiction.

Even without the duplication, this clown packs more ignorance into the article than one would think possible. Boy! Talk about walking around with a chip on one's shoulder!
