Among other things, Rudin called Angelina Jolie a "minimally talented spoiled brat," largely due to a competition between the two for the services of a coveted director.

The references to Obama were in the context of a discussion with Pascal about a fundraiser breakfast with Obama she was to attend. Their exchange seemed to assume that Obama, because he's black, would prefer movies featuring blacks.

She suggested Django. He suggested 12 Years a Slave. She came back with The Butler.

"Ride-along. I bet he likes Kevin Hart," Rudin replied.

3. Mr. Rudin dissing Angelina Jolie the way he did was bad on it's own.

But the Obama comments started by Ms. Pascal provided the cherry for this shit sundae.

I'll take "Get a Clue" for $500, Alex.

4. Amy Pascal is Ms Pascal not Mrs Pascal. She has a husband but he's not named Pascal, she is.

When dissing a person for being racially insensitive, it is best to avoid the gender insensitivity thing. Once you have said 'Rudin' you should go with 'Pascal'. Mr Rudin would call for Ms Pascal.
It's pretty easy to sound like a lout really, Pascal did it, Rudin does it often....

5. Well, okay. Sorry about the mistake, I didn't realize that.

For the benefit of readers, I'll edit the post to reflect that.
