oh my, we had all better take the word of "Lou Grant" as gospel! He does know so much, after all!!
what an irrelevant pile of garbage he is. i wish Asner, Glover, Belafonte and the rest of their ilk would pack up and move to Cuba. we'd be glad to be rid of them.

"by Cuban standards, the trial was fair and judicious"Translation = They actually bothered with a one day trial instead of shooting them outright.

by Cuban standards, the trial was fair Did Clinton teach Asner how to weasel, or did Asner teach Clinton?

I didn't think it was possible, but after reading that transcript I realize that Ed Asner is even stupider than I imagined.

Is that a line from "The Candy Man"?
To: fight_truth_decay
Whether it be the Ortega run Communist Party in Nicaragua, the communist insurgents in El Salvador or the Communist regime in Cuba, Ed Asner has loved them all.
Our nation resembles nothing that Asner loves. We allow free speach. We hold genuine elections. We allow our citizens to come and go as they please.
Only a few nations in this world's history have been so bad that they had to forbid their citizens leave, even shoot them or execute them for trying. Ed has loved them all.
Asner seemingly doesn't even understand the electorial process, the electoral college and the way presidents are selected. If he does, he even objects to that.
Why in the hell doesn't he move to Cuba and set up shop down there?

It's a play on words from the Mary Tyler Moore theme song.

Replies in order:
Glover - making $$$ in Hollywood and endorsing MCI. Hey, Danny! No private film and telecommunications industries in Cuba with all the big bucks the American companies give you.
Belafonte - Has-been. Admires a country whose "justice" system executes you 3 daaaaaay-o's after trial.
Asner - Another has-been. Proud of playing "Mr. Freedom-of-the-Press" in "Lou Grant". Maybe Granma or Radio Havana can give him a job.

"We didn't have a free election in 2002." Just what the he!! is he talking about? The election of 2002 featured the RATS pulling every dirty trick in the book in Minnesota and New Jersey and actually stealing the election in South Dakota. If he is speaking of the presidential election of 2000, he better back off a bit on his meds.

This is the operator, Mr. Michael Moore. Will you accept a collect call from a Mr. Asner?

If big Ed is correct about the 2000 election, then Bush might be eligible for two more terms.

Asner: "Uh, my country is much more fortunate so it can't, it doesn't have to afford the excesses that Fidel Castro has to resort to by constantly being embargoed by the United States." We can't buy Castro's cigars so he has to shoot people who want to leave his country?

Why in hell does anyone care what some lousy actor has to say about political issues? His only saving grace is I know what side to take on a given issue, if he's for it, I'm against it, and if he's against it, I'm probably for it. Thanks Lou!
