It's a very funny indictment of celebrities who mouth off inanities.

#2 What really gets my goat is that he being Jewish, Saddam and his boys would like nothing better that to turn him into soap.

He needs to read more Herman Wouk.

#3 Donald Rumsfield said...

Washington is like Hollywood with ugly people. Hollywood is like Washington with intellectually challenged people.

...or something along those lines. God I wish I could find the exact quote.

It wasn't Rumsfeld; it was McCain.

Linked to on today's Opinon Journal:

From a Washington Post report on the Washington Press Club Foundation congressional dinner:

McCain, Republican maverick, former POW and Vietnam War hero, cracked in his speech that if "Washington is a Hollywood for ugly people," then, considering the remarks coming out of Tinseltown about Iraq, "Hollywood is a Washington for the simpleminded."

#6 And if I were to be asked the most important aspect of being an actor I would say being a f**king idiot! Here's another prime candidate to be a human shield.

Oh!I forgot he is a major star and can not be expected to live by the same standards as the rest of us.
