Richard Gere And Charlize Theron Bash Bush
Actors Criticize The President At The Venice Film Festival
http://www.showbuzz.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/09/04/movies_venice/main3232870.shtml


<SNIP> (AP) Actors Richard Gere and Charlize Theron joined in on a bash, but this time it had nothing to do with a party; instead it had to do with bashing the President of the United States and the war in Iraq.

While at the Venice Film Festival, both actors openly criticized the Bush administration.

<SNIP> "How did we elect Bush twice?" Gere asked rhetorically while promoting his new film, "The Hunting Party." "What's interesting to me is how do the bad people among us end up our leaders?" the 58-year-old actor said at a news conference Monday.

<SNIP> "The decision-making process for going into Iraq was very hastily done, and I think the facts weren't there, and I just don't think you go to war for those reasons," Theron, 32, told Associated Press Television in an interview. "I think the thing that upset me most was the manipulation that our government did towards our people, manipulating them to believe that if they weren't for the war, they weren't patriotic."

<SNIP> George Clooney has said he made "Syriana" and "Good Night, and Good Luck" out of anger for being considered a traitor for questioning the decision to go to war. He told reporters at Venice last week that he believes Americans are now in the process of fixing the mistakes of the last few years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm guessing Fox News will call the patriotism of these actors into question in their review of these films.

1. k/r
:kick:
:dem:

Charlie Daniels and Sean Hannity should go blow Osama! They won't, they will bash Gere and Theron, but still, Daniels and Hannity should get their heads into Osama's crotch. That's where they fit best! :puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

2. I doubt it's their patriotism that will be called into question
rather their selective memory of facts.

Next up: "Omg, like everthing was cool in the world and then this one bad guy fucked it all up."

Chalk me up as getting tired of the same ol' same ol'.

9. Does it?
This is an admittedly right-wing site, but you can you deny any of these quotes were made?

http://www.freedomagenda.com/iraq/wmd_quotes.html

Further down on that site, some of these quotes were made during the Clinton admin (1998).

Get back to me about my "truthiness" or YOUR need to pretend shit didn't happen. :)

4. Charlize Theron is a terrific actress ... one of my favorites.
Whether it's "Mighty Joe Young" or "Cider House Rules" - she does a superb job.

6. I liked her best in "Monster"
She did a fantastic job, and I'm not even a movie buff.

7. That was an awesome performance. Truly.
It was good the Academy agreed and gave her the Best Actress Oscar. She beat out Keisha Castle-Hughes in 'Whale Rider' and that hurt - I loved that movie and her performance, but Charlize earned it.
