Do these phony Osama tapes remind anyone else of a cheesy Hollywood production?

White House sees Hollywood role in war on terrorism

November 8, 2001 Posted: 7:10 PM EST (0010 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush's top political strategist plans to meet with an array of entertainment executives Sunday to discuss the war on terrorism and ways that Hollywood stars and films might work in concert, in ways both formal and informal, with the administration's communications strategy.

The effort is spearheaded by senior Bush adviser Karl Rove and Jack Valenti, chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America, who attended a White House meeting earlier this week to lay the groundwork for the session.

The meeting is set for 11 a.m. local time at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. A final roster of attendees is not set, but an industry source said major studio executives and and network entertainment chiefs were invited along with "top tier" creative minds from Hollywood.

"This will be a summit-level group of people who make things happen -- a serious discussion," the industry source said, predicting about 40 people would join the discussions.

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said Thursday the meeting was organized by Sherry Lansing of Paramount and said CBS television, Viacom, Showtime, Dreamworks, HBO and MGM were a few of the companies expected to be represented.

Roger Corman


Roger William Corman (born April 5, 1926), sometimes nicknamed "King of the Bs" for his output of B-movies (though he himself rejects this appellation as inaccurate), is a prolific American producer and director of low-budget exploitation movies. He has apprenticed many now-famous directors, stressing the importance of budgeting and resourcefulness; Corman once joked he could make a film about the fall of the Roman Empire with two extras and a sage bush.<1>

8. Oh my Buddha that is so ...

freaking Orwell that it makes my neurons shudder. Sheesh!

Why not just call that the fucking Ministry of Information and get it over with already. Damn. It is not like we didn't have a prophet who spoke about all this already and warned us that if we didn't do anything, (and we are NOT) then then 1984 is the future for everyone, like it or not.

I also wonder how someone like Bush could have an "evil" twin, and yet, Osama is the very best side-kick you could ever pair up with that noxious, self-interested, bubble-dwelling, protected, destroyer of everything that might even smell like good, human, animal, vegetable, or natural.
