Sean Hannity just crushed Hollywood Actor David Clennon [The Agency]

Sean Hannity's Radio Show | Just now | Me

[VaBthang4]

He just beat down Actor David Clennon [sp?] from the CBS series "The Agency".

Completely demolished him and his position. The guy tried repeatedly to fillibuster but Sean just turned off his microphone everytime he tried.

It is so enlightening to Listen to a Liberal duck and dodge.

Great job, Sean.

Clennon so obviously has a real problem with Bush & others in his so-called "ruling class" -- he keeps calling this "Bush's War" -- why do the Hollywood types hate Bush so much ?? is it just because he's conservative, or that they don't get invited to the White House anymore ?? or is it something deeper ??

[Atlas Sneezed]

IMDB.com describes his role as "liason man".

At first, I thought he was one of the guys to go out to Muroc to find test pilots to be astronauts, then I realized that they had been played by Jeff Goldblum and Harry Shearer (a nice comic contrast of the ignorant wimps with the mannly pilots they sought.)

Those who enjoyed "The Right Stuff" will undoubtedly enjoy the HBO miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon" in which he plays Cal Tech geology professor Lee Silvers, who was mentor to Astronaut Harrison Schmitt, and who helped to teach the astronauts how to become geological observers.

In answer to your question, Clennon appears as Press Liason to the Air Force, in the scene in Pancho's Happy Bottom Riding Club. He, and Air Force Major, and two Bell engineers are looking for a pilot to break the sound barrier in the X-1. They are negotiating with a pilot named "Slick," who demands $150,000 to make the attempt.

The Liason then tells the officers about Chuck Yeager, sitting in the corner of the room, describing him as a war hero, and that the only problem with selecting him for the mission will be "holding him back." Yeager accepts the mission for nothing more than his Air Force salary of less than $300 per month. The Liason character serves nicely as a knowing observer who can expose the viewer to Yeager's history and character.

The liason next appears just after Yeager has broken the sound barrier, attempting to call out from a nearby hangar to his press contacts to put the word out ("this is big news!") about the historic achievement, when an Air Force officer hangs up the phone, explaining that the supersonic capability would be kept secret from the Russians.

His final scene is at Pancho's, having a drink that evening with the same officer who kept him from calling out. He predicts how the news will never be kept quiet among the military pilot community, and that soon, every top pilot would want to come out to Muroc to "reach the top of the pyramid." This creates a nice transition for us to meet future astronaut Gordon Cooper (Dennis Quaid) driving with his wife out to Muroc (Edwards AFB), which opens the next chapter of the movie about the Mercury Astronauts.

Excellent film!

Do you mean Woods or Clennon sounds like the typical liberal? James Woods is a conservative.

Anyway, saying that Clinton is reprehensible is not name-calling - it's a statement of fact.

[bmwcyle]

It is good James called in. I watch thirtysomecrap once. I could not stand the whinning and the unhappy characters in the program. Now we have to listen to David whine more.

[twyn1]

Schwartzenegger and Chuck Heston.

Mel Gibson too

[Yaelle]

James is awesome. Name another man in Hollywood with his vocabulary.

Come on, I am waiting...

[smith288]

If it was about oil, Venezuela seems like a logical choice.

[Republic]

I have to tell ya-I have never heard a better radio program in my life---it is all out there in black and white---just perfect!

[lainie]

What are you talking about? Slick Willie Clinton IS morally reprehensible.

[woofie]

Your not Alone!!!

[twyn1]

"let the inspections take their course" -- isn't that what we're doing ?? we've waited and waited -- 12 years -- 17 resolutions -- how many more last chances does Saddam get ?? -- makes NO sense whatsoever

[Republic]

James Woods, is the sexiest, smartest, most caring, most literate hollywood personality I have ever heard, even better than Charleton Heston.

[bootless]

Sean and Sweet Baby James -

This show rocked.

[lainie]

oh. heehee

[Yaelle]

ROFl about Clennan not knowing about Hannity and Colmes -- hemmed and hawed when invited -- Sean said "Well it's not on NPR, no wonder you don't know it."

And James Woods just said "I'm not afraid to come on your show." Touche.

[twyn1]

Your not Alone!!!

Sounds like the liberal weeinies aren't too happy with their latest "peace march" turnouts ??

[bigjoesaddle]

I think James is officially a Libertarian, at least thats what I remember reading in the past here at FR.

[Republic]

or as Tony Blair said today in the House of Commons. "It's been 8 weeks since we told Saddam this was his "last chance" with 1441. And 600 weeks since he was told to comply with the resolutions ending the 1991 Gulf War."
