Is Kevin Costner brain dead?

[Was_Immer]

Im watching Real Time with Bill Maher and Costner is on the show and hes saying we must vote for Ralph Nader.

The panel is trying to explain to him about the evils of Shrub, and hes like I dont care.

P.S. Wes Clark is brilliant!

[expatriate]

2. He's never been a brain.

People confuse him with some of the roles he's played, like Jim Garrison in JFK. He's an actor, he isn't the characters he plays, and he's not even that talented an actor. All he has to do is take direction from a director, they can take as many takes as they need to until he gets it right, and then they can enhance his performance in the editing studio. If they can make pug dogs look as if they can talk, they can make Kevin Costner come across like another Olivier.

I have never understood the fascination with actors and other celebrities, and the belief that they are somehow imbued with worthiness, intelligence and virtue because their line of work makes them a public figure. Lots of them are dumber than a box of rocks.

When Costner skyrocketed into being a bigtime actor, he dumped his wife and kids. In an interview he said he did it because "It's all about me now. I have to concentrate on me." That interview turned a lot of people off to him. He's got a reputation for being very self-centered, and not particularly intelligent.

I doubt many people will let Kevin Costner's blathering influence their vote.

3. Yes, he is

[pansypoo53219]

4. not a big fan

but at least he isn't a big georgie fan. ala schwartzengrabber and the rest.

[Nordic]

8. Hello. Everybody. I have news for you. He's an ACTOR.

If you work with actors you realize something:

They're the last people you'd want to ask opinions of on anything other than ACTING.

[RoyGBiv]

9. Yes

That is all. :-)

[rpannier]

10. YES

Nuff said

[Seabiscuit]

26. Triple YES.

I saw the show and couldn't make any sense of his inane ramblings - and true to form, he admitted he *still* hadn't decided who he'll vote for. His grotesque performance on the Bill Maher show gave us a chance to look into the imbecility of the "undecided voter".

[proud2BlibKansan]

He pissed me off

Did you see how many times Wes Clark would try to say something and Kevin interrupted him?

Earth to Kevin Costner: Alert! 3 days before the election, we are a hell of a lot more interested in what Gen Clark wants to say than in your idiotic ramblings.

Worst show of the season for Maher. Idiot actor and ann :puke: coulter. What a disappointment.

[proud2BlibKansan]

[lebkuchen]

Isn't he the guy who says "neat" all the time?

not sure

[Spiffarino]

11. If his recent movies are any indicator

...yes, he hasn't a single firing neuron.

[Nashyra]

13. I got to spend some time with Wes Clark today

and he was talking about what an idiot Kevin Costner was, saying that he enver made any sense.

[chookie]

17. Oooo I am so jealous

what else did you and Wes talk about?

That's a guy I would love to take aside and ask a question or two.

[mountainvue]

28. Wes did us proud.

He was right on top of it all. I really hope there is a role for him in the Kerry administration.

[hollywood926]

12. How long has it been on...

eventually he confesses to being a conservative and that he's been drinking. I saw it last night. Hehehe.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Worst show of the season

Costner is a moran. And he monopolized the show with his idiotic ramblings.

And with ann coulter as a 'guest' I was ready to vomit by the time the show was over. If it wasn't for Richard Belzer, I would have turned it off. Wes Clark was good too.

[mountainvue]

30. Props to Belzer

for acting as though he was going to walk off when Bill brought mAnn on. That was great.

[truthseeker1]

34. Could it be any worse than the show with that Hobbit?

Or was that last season?

Sean Astin, I think that was his name. What was Bill thinking?

I haven't watched last night's episode yet, so don't know how Costner compares.

[chookie]

15. Long time flatliner

Never saw what anybody else ever saw in this untalented dipshit. That he is so mentally constipated as to advocate Nader is no surprise.

Gee -- what's he done lately? What was his last hit - "Waterworld?" No -- before that.... Wyatt Eaarp? No, before that....

Sorry folks we are fighting for our survival and no one full of shit and blind matters

[madmax]

16. Drunk n/t

[shanti]

20. yes, that is exactly how i called it

although i think richard belzer was up there too. it was pretty obvious. didn't he ask where his wine was? there was probably wine in that coffee cup!

ann the man ruined the show for me tho....Yech!

[VOX]

55. Indeed -- he acted like he'd been hitting the liquid tranquilizers...

Looking for a bit of courage before he went out in a public forum -- something he's not used to doing.

He came off as extremely naive, and more than a bit shellacked.

[AngryLizard]

18. And also? Ann Coulter is psychotic

She just claimed that John Kerry is only in the position to run for president because of, family connections, i.e., Teresa's money. "Far much more than Bush." Belzer called her a "fascist party doll."

The woman needs to be on some serious medication.


Kevin Costner isn't so bad. His point is that people should be allowed to vote for whoever they want, and he's right, they should, it's just not very smart.

And Ann Coulter? She's either psychotic or the biggest opportunist ever. I'm almost convinced she's kidding.

[fleabert]

6. did you hear her say the bit about women voting?

I swear I heard her say something like:

it's not my fault women have the right to vote.

Did my mind make that up or did that crazy shit come out of her mouth?

[neuvocat]

33. Nope.

And it had absolutely nothing to do with the last thing she said right before that. I was watching it with my republican friend and we both just looked at each other and said "WTF???"

[fleabert]

35. exactly...

WTF was she talking about? The woman is insane, and it's a strange way for a woman to say it...I scoffed at the rumors about her being a man, but maybe... I can't imagine a woman even saying it that way if she didn't think women should vote.

I am going to look for the transcript...

[proud2BlibKansan]

43. There is a state senator in KS

who said something similar a few years ago, that women should never have been given the right to vote.

This must be a fundie talking point.

[fleabert]

47. How do these people get elected or get air time?

It really freaks me out that there are people who agree with Coulter...

[mandyky]

38. Puzzles me too

I was gonna relisten later since I DVRed it. That is what it sounded like to me too. If women shouldn't vote, then why does SHE run her mouth so much? LOL

[noiretextatique]

41. no...she says this a lot

one of the things i detest most about her silly ass.

[JohnnyRingo]

29. I liked when Belzer called her a "liar"

Let's see you sue him for libel, Ann.

[mandyky]

39. He referred to Ann as

a Nazi Party doll or some such too.

[one_true_leroy]

36. odd about Ann...

for someone as highly educated and vaunted amoung RWers for her intellect and crushing debate style, she's remarkable non sequitor and incoherent. It bugs me when a debator cannot stay on thread long enough to make a point, especially if they go off topic for cheap ad hominens. Costner, of course, epitomized this rambling non-debate style. He's my new insult when I'm 'politickin' with my friends ("C'mon, don't Coster me, man." "Don't go all Crazy with Wolves on me here"... feel free to make your own)

[Kahuna]

19. Yep. he is. Though I must admit. he's still a looker.

nt

[saracat]

7. Stupid and eww, not a looker ! He doesn't even have any hair !

He looks fat and what is that weird goatee? Wes Clark is brilliant and he looked gorgeous! Much better looking than Costner. What do you think is good looking about Costner?

[sr_pacifica]

23. All looks and no brain n/t

[Kahuna]

27. Obviously.

I've never been a Costner fan. Never thought he was great looking either. However, I noticed last night that he wears his age very well.

[sr_pacifica]

5. Never cared for his looks or acting or choice of movies to star in n/t

[JohnnyRingo]

21. Wearing the uniform of "Commander In Chief" assumes a lot of......

...responsibility.
When a ship runs aground, the Navy doesn't care if the captain was on the bridge, or having lunch....They have a "one strike and your out" rule.

Wesley Clark

[Seabiscuit]

31. Wes Clarke had a lot of great zingers on that show

but I must admit, that was the best of them (referring to Bush's record of fuck-up after fuck-up after... as commander in thief).

[deadparrot]

22. Just another brainless douche.

[mountainvue]

24. There was another thread on this

last night and I'll say it again. Costner is what you might call a "limousine conservative" who is woefully out of touch with what the real facts are.

[Was_Immer]

25. OMG Costner just said hes not sure hes going to vote for

OMG undecided voters actually exist. And finally the proof is there, they are brain dead!

Costner makes about as much sense speaking, as his movies do.

[sandnsea]

1. Kerry/Nader Undecideds

I could be wrong, but I don't think we ever considered those undecideds. Maybe that's why Nader's numbers have fallen, all his voters moved over to undecided. What if there aren't anymore undecideds thinking about Bush at all???

[Swamp Rat]

32. Costner and Nader sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G

[giant_robot]

37. To answer a question with a question,

Have you seen "The Postman" or "Waterworld"?

[GreenPartyVoter]

40. I'd say he sounds like he is sick of two party politics.

[Chomskyite]

44. He's always been known as a lovable dunce

Not much going on upstairs, but the guy's been in some good movies . . . at least up to 1997.

[Cleita]

45. I think that's what happens when your brain has

been residing in your jockey shorts too long.

[Robbie67]

49. Yeah, he's so stupid

he should stop giving his money to Democrats. What a retard.

[Malebolgia]

46. That's a rhetorical question.

[atommom]

48. He reminded me of that sullen drunk guy in the corner

at a college party. You know the one ... the guy who is horribly resentful that his brilliance isn't being appreciated ... the guy you don't dare to make eye contact with, because then he'll follow you around for the rest of the evening, rambling incoherently. :boring:

[andino]

50. Water world.... nuff said....

[atre]

51. Let's give the guy a break

He has one of the best records of any actor in Hollywood of donating money to Democrats. Cut the guy some slack.

[Robbie67]

52. Sorry, he dared utter the "N" word

It is our duty to vilify him.

[Lorien]

53. Yes.

He's the friend of a friend of mine. Kind of had a meltdown during the past decade. They don't talk much anymore.

[AlbertoMo83]

54. Kevin Costner Sucks ASS

Who cares about what that washed-up ass monkey has to say?? :nopity:

[helnwhls]

56. Good lord, finally saw Bill Mahr w/ Kevin

and I hope he is drunk or else he is the biggest idiot. His handler should keep him on a much shorter leash.

[young_at_heart]

57. I just saw it too......what an arrogant, self-important "movie star" he is

Bill Maher must have been embarrassed at the disrespect Costner showed Wesley Clark. Costner's ramblings were incoherent and a total waste of time.

[helnwhls]

58. I kept wishing there would be a commercial break

so they could gracefully get him off stage
