UGH! Kevin Costner Has Hijacked 'Real Time w/Bill Maher'!

[Placebo]

He just never stops blabbering, UGH!

He's ruined the last show before the election! :(

[liveoaktx]

1. He said he downed some wine before the show-methinks it

was more than one glass

I call him *wussy boy*

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

2. Isn't Costner a Repuke?

[PDittie]

5. I think he's more Libertarian than anything else

He thinks Nader is "mesmerizing"...

[RoyGBiv]

6. No ...

A Naderite, which at this point doesn't make him a lot different.

He's donated to Kerry/Edwards but has held on to this "not much different between the two" kind of thinking.

Out to lunch.

[JanMichael]

3. Well when asked if he'd vote nader he said, "If I had the balls"...

...or something to that effect.

Wussy? I guess so, he suggested he's voting Kerry.

[southlandshari]

30. He held up his coffee mug about 2/3 of the way through the show

and said, "just keep the wine coming" or something to that effect!

[mountainvue]

33. "Wine"

on Maher's show is probably code for weed.}(

[Fenris]

4. Waterworld, The Postman, Dragonfly, 3000 Miles to Graceland...

For the Love of the Game, Message in a Bottle, Tin Cup, The Bodyguard, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Silverado, etc., etc., etc....

He sucks.

[RoyGBiv]

7. Tin Cup was cool ...

'Cause it had Cheech in it. :-)

[rockydem]

8. Dances with Wolves

and Waterworld were pretty good flicks IMO.

[seventhson]

10. No Way Out is one of my favorite films great flick AND Bull Durham AND

Field of Dreams

I like Costner a lot but he has had some lousy roles to play

Dances with Wolves was the most brilliant "Native American" film since "Little Big Man"

[Wapsie B]

41. Yes.

Field of Dreams is one of his best along with JFK.

[seventhson]

47. Damn YES JFK was the BOMB. Brilliant acting. Brilliant film.

and Costner was incredible in it. I will always love him for that.

[Kipepeo]

16. Oh come on

Dances with Wolves was great, and I sheepishly admit I liked his version of Robin Hood...

But I do admit he always plays the same character.

[lil-petunia]

51. whaaaaa?

Everyone was great except Kev. He sounded so - out of place - and stupid.

My fave scene was when the evil prince stuck the knife into his aide for screwing up. Wasn't that the same actor as Snape?


I saw the show, he did sound a bit toasted, and I loved how Maher was protecting Coulter from snide remarks from his friend. a good show, over all.

[porphyrian]

20. You're all forgetting Fandango...

It's a great movie with him in it.

[ObaMania]

24. Agreed.

.. also, Silverado!

[Blue_Tires]

39. JFK??

[Cleita]

9. Actually Ann Coulter did.

Bitching about how Kerry "flip flopped" all through Missouri??? She didn't say flip/flopped but that he contradicted himself in his speeches. She talks too fast to keep up with the lies. Any Missourians up to telling the truth?

[soleft]

11. He just said he's a conservative, hunter, fisherman

[Placebo]

12. And that he doesn't think you could call Ann Coulter a "liar".

grr.

[RapidCreek]

46. Well she's either a liar or incredibly stupid....

Here all this time I thought she told lies because she was a liar....and that wasn't the case at all. Nope, what I was hearing were the wholly inaccurate rantings of a moron.

[6th Borough]

52. Or option #3, a well-paid shill who fits a niche...

Shrill, Rush Limbaugh type female (whom some find attractive) "pundit".

Tell ya the truth, I don't even know if she believes half of what she writes or says. She gets paid for it; there is no denying she has been well packaged and marketed for the niche she is designed to appeal to.

She might just be the first cyborg.

[Kire]

13. he believes a woman "should choose"

in a Sophie kind of way?

[Momof1]

14. He's drunk...

[Kierkegaard]

17. He's a freakin idiot.

What a loser...

[Bjornsdotter]

28. I agree....

.....the man is dumb as a rock.....very disappointing.

Cheers,
Kim :toast:

[Kire]

15. "what do you mean 'boo'?"

what a grumpy sour puss

[Cleita]

18. He's not voting. (Kevin Costner)

Thank the goddess for small favors.

[liveoaktx]

21. Maybe he'll reconsider voting when he's sober

[Wind Dancer]

22. I've lost all respect for him.

He is clueless, simply out of touch with reality.

[Robbie67]

27. He said he was a conservative

as a conservative he said to vote for Nader.

[Kire]

19. he really is hijacking the show

[Kierkegaard]

23. And it could have been a really good show, too

Clark was making some good points when he wasn't being interrupted by Dances with Braindamage.

[robbedvoter]

26. Dances with Braindamage - instant classic!

[Kierkegaard]

29. Thanks.

I though it was appropriate considering his sickening performance.

[6th Borough]

53. (ot)Wolfe for Congress...that's my old district...

...though I was too young to vote before I moved to Florida. Oakland, Bergen County, Jersey...damn, I miss it; most beautiful place I've been in the non-New England Northeast. And just a short hop from NYC.

Of course, it might have changed in the last...17 or so years.

[robbedvoter]

25. Now I've seen the mind of an undecided voter - dark, empty, scary place

What a maroon! More infuriating that Coultergeist even - she at least was predictable, but he was just a black hole of reason!
Don't you love it when rich Hollywood star pretends he's "regular people"? Shades of Dildo Reilly....

[mountainvue]

34. Yup. Because if the shit

really hits the fan, he can simply leave the country.

[checks-n-balances]

38. I missed the show, but the "nicknames" you're using for Coulter & O'Reilly

make me LOL!

Thanks for the discussion.

[ibegurpard]

45. It was actually quite interesting

And I don't think he's stupid at all, he's just uninformed and self-absorbed like many Americans. They continue to think it's politics as usual because they aren't seeing so much of the scary anti-democratic excesses of the right wing Republicans in power. They won't believe it until it knocks them upside the head. Then it will be too late.

[latebloomer]

31. He was incoherent

I tried to make sense out of what he was saying, I really did, in between falling asleep.

Altogether the most boring and least funny "Real Time" yet, and I usually LOVE the show.

[mountainvue]

32. He is woefully

out of touch on the facts. He's what you might call a "limousine conservative."

[Wind Dancer]

36. Clueless, only wanted to dominate the show

with his complaints but insulted the guests and Maher.

[The Traveler]

35. Actually, he said things like

He was tired of Iraq dominating the conversation when people in America are slipping between the cracks.

We knew in 1973 we needed to give up our dependence on foreign oil (which he compared to crack). We got a man to the moon in less than 10 years ... maybe we could have an oil free car in 20 ...

There are too many guns. Guns themselves aren't bad but there are too many of them.

What happened to the envirornment in this campaign?

A lot of what he said made sense to me, and I think Wes Clark gave him thoughtful and powerful responses.

Look, people, to govern, Kerry and the Democracts must conduct was Wes termed "rational discourse" with people of opposing viewpoints. <hyperbole>I myself believe anyone who votes for Nader needs to be tracked down and whipped like an unhousebroken dog. ("WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, MAN????") </hyperbole> But these are views that are worthy of respect and consideration.

People, we need to get over ourselves a bit. But I suggest we wait a few days to work on that ... until this election is decided, kick ass all the way, and don't forget your black hoodies.

[wjbill49]

49. Actually

You are correct, he was interested in some decent issues that the Dem's could have made part of their pitch .......... it just bugged me that he sat there being undecided ......... how can anyone be "there" anymore ........

[Doomsayer13]

37. That's funny - Donated to Kerry

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=CA&last=Costner&first=Kevin

Donated to Al Gore and the DNC too. He also donated to Phil Gramm. His money says Dem, but I guess his mouth says otherwise.

[atre]

40. I remember seeing his donation in the talk about celebrities and politics

That's odd to see his donations consistently go to Democrats when he still believes the "Nader lie" that there's virtually no difference between the parties.

[Robbie67]

44. Phil Gramm?

Ugh.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

42. I'm on the west coast so it's on now

Costner is talking like he's on drugs. He's all over the road like a drunk driver.

[Selatius]

43. I think the show was good

I'm not going to vote for Nader because he isn't really representing any third parties. Voting for him won't help any parties trying to get in government. With the winner-take-all election system we have, it will nearly always be a choice between a Democrat or a Republican.

Honestly, I don't like that. I think a multi-party representative democracy is a step above a simple two-party duopoly. John Kerry says he can fight the Iraq War better than Bush can, but in my mind, I'm about to tip over towards leaning to the idea that the end result of this war is not something we're going to be terribly happy over.

I would like to see voices that also would honestly question whether it is even worth it to try to win by bludgeoning Iraqis into submission like what Bush is presently doing, to win a guerrilla war through sheer force and firepower in a population where the majority of them either hate us or want us gone. If it gets to the point where the only primary reason why Iraqis are fighting us is because we are on their land, in their cities, and in their lives, then I think it's time to withdraw and offer help in some other fashion instead of direct military force.

The discourse in the news media only encompasses a narrow band on the whole political spectrum, and I'd love to bust that open to include voices from all over. People like Nader could actually be used to shift the whole discussion to the left back towards a more progressive vision of the Democratic Party, the kind seen under the likes of FDR. Bill Maher is a rare breath of fresh air in the news media. Unfortunately, that kind of fresh air is too rare in US media.

[wjbill49]

48. Costner

He is an actor, that's all. Wes Clark was on the show too, he tried to convince Costner on a couple things but ......... got the feeling Costner will be undecided for another 10 years?

[6th Borough]

50. He wants a candidate to "blow his mind"...

Maybe he should check out LaRouche.

/sarcasm, but he certainly sounded like someone Larouche would..."appeal" to.
:silly:

[rocktop15]

54. Oh horseshit.

Did you even pay attention to him? If you listened to what he had to say with an objectionable mind, he was making loads of sense. I thought he was a breath of fresh air. Terrorism? There is no great, massive terrorism threat. Terrorism is fucking the enviroment up left and right with nobody paying attention. As tragic and awful as 9/11 was, their were only 3,000 +/- dead. Take the number of people that die everyday from drinking tainted water, breathing in toxic air, the list goes on and on.

I thought Costner was great. I LIKE Kerry, I really do. But what Costner was saying I agree with one hundred percent.

Kennedy took a balls to the wall approach and said we would walk on the moon in ten years. What if a leader said we should strive to get off this addiction to oil? Twenty years to ween America off this addiction? Never gonna happen with Kerry in office.

It seemed to me that Wes Clark was just auditioning for a cabinet spot with Kerry last night. Belzer was hilarious calling out Ann Coulter for what she truly is, a lying bitch that just wants to sell books.

George "Dances with the Facts" Bush.
