Actress Ellen Barkin goes off on Fox News and Tea Party

[JohnnyRingo]

Although she has an upcoming movie on it's way, she isn't looking to suck up to anyone during her recent interview with "LA Times Magazine":

"The blatant lying that passes itself off as journalism. I don’t even need to get there to go mental. Can you imagine a legitimate newsperson—Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw—just lying on the news?" she asked, heating up in rhetoric. "Let alone the entertainment factor—you know, news as entertainment. And because of the enormity of the money behind that machine, they have convinced this ever-growing group of really struggling, working-class people, that these f--kers can somehow, in some way, represent them. They do not. I mean, let’s not even start, because that’ll take up a whole month if I go down that road."

The question following that comment began with: "Okay, we’ll swap topics...."

I especially laughed at a review of some of her recent tweets:

"If Ann Coulter didn't have a dick...I'd call her a c*nt." Following a night of live tweeting a Republican presidential debate, she said, "G'mornin my frenz...Im still all f*cked up from debate nitemares & sh*t...dreamt Newt stuck his Mitt up my ass w/o any Santorum."

Haven't seen Ellen since she fucked standing up in a steamy movie back in the 90's with some major male star. Was it "Sea of Love"?
