I could have sworn I wrote a scathing diatribe against this nobody actor who made the case over at the SnuffBlo that those of us who did not fall into line and vote for Dear Leader are fucking nuts or something. Ah well, apparently I had more important things to do…like change the cat box, mop the kitchen floor, and/or sort our junkmail into color-coded/point-of-origin/cross-referenced-by-industry stacks.
Anyway, I’m reminded of his particular brand of crazy this morning whilst reading about another actor (probably best known for portraying the Sicilian in The Princess Bride) who moans that President Dubya has just COMPLETELY RUINED his beauty sleep and ability to write.
Please, allow me to answer the charges.
I’m sorry, small hairless man, that you’re incapable of separating world events from your personal life, but I think laying the blame at the feet of a world leader is a little, hm…presumptuous on your part. Maybe you just suck as a writer, have you thought of that? Maybe you’re ever destined to be a Trivial Pursuit question, a “Hey, It’s That Guy,” or the answer to “the person most likely to have a drink accidentally set on their head at a party” question in Final Jeopardy.
We can’t all be David Mamet, Wally. Just let it go.
He keeps using that word, writer…
Too easy!

I don’t think that dude’s had an hour of “beauty sleep” in his whole life.
When he says he can’t write, is he implying that he can’t write his name, or does he actually fancy himself a “writer”? If it is the latter, then by comparison I must be a nobel laureate!

@D.W.: Well, I looked on IMDB, he has about 4 writing credits to his name. We should probably hold a benefit for him, poor lamb.

OK, so I checked out his listing. As an actor, I thought he was ok in Princess Bride. As I writer, all I can say is “who?”… I’ve heard of Dinner with Andre but never been interested. The other three?
I value my time, thank you, and I would rather read a good book than waste time on alsoran, almostCgrade movies.
And since when has participating in creating crap screenplays led us to call someone a writer? OK, loosely defined, if you have words that you’ve strung together that appear somewhere … you’re a writer. Uhm … so that includes anyone who’s ever sent an email, written a letter, or even written a check to pay a bill. Pretty exclusive group if you ask me.

I’m going to set my alarm clock for 2 years from Jan 20, 2009.
Then, I’m going to check back in on all these folks who have blamed George Bush for – personally – ruining their lives.
I fully expect to see all of the haters radiant with love and tolerance for all of their fellow Earth travelers, and hopefully this Wallace douche will have won a Pulitzer.
What else could possibly hold any of them back, once the scourge of the Western world has been sent packing back to Crawford where he belongs?

Gee, why would a sweet sentiment like
piss off LG, aside from being sexist and degrading?
Personally I’m in no fucking way turned on by the though of getting a blowjob from that skinhead nor anyone listening to him.
What does he plan to placate a Republican woman?? I’ll admit to not being on intimate enough terms with LG to be sure but I’d propose she’d as soon reject an offer to be taken out to eat, much less eaten out.

@jana: But…but…he’s pure evil from the 8th dimension!! Isn’t that what they’ve all been preaching for the last 8 years? Halp! My worldview has come askew!

@no, not THAT Glenn: Honestly, I was so disgusted by the condescending, patronizing tone of the entire frigging article that I was rather numb by that point. And that’s how I’d have to be ALL OVER to stomach any of these soft-brained freaks anywhere nearby.
But you know, in his worldview R. women have nothing whatsoever to do with actually moving or shaking government. It’s all those evul rich white mens.

LG takes that about as gracefully and decorously as I figured she would.
You touch something in your last sentence. The election is over with. McCain is ignored, but unremitting press attacks on She’s-still-the-Governor Palin continue. Is she too mysteriously frightening to be allowed to live?
no, not THAT Glenn

@no, not THAT Glenn: I will never comprehend Palin Derangement Syndrome. I asked someone suffering from it to explain it to me and all she could tell me was that S.P. was stupid. Er, wot?
I don’t expect to ever get a decent explanation on that.

LG … PDS isn’t that surprising, IMHO. Feminazis and dems always feel threatened when they discover, or think others dicover, that they don’t really talk for ALL women afterall. It threatens their base and they react in their true guise: out of touch whackjobs!

@pete in Midland: That’s the only explanation I can see. The hatred is SO virulent and SO irrational, it’s kind of disturbing.
Then again, I’m sure they think my hatred for The Messiah is just as virulent and irrational. And I’m fine with that.

I’m not quite ready to sort people into nonoverlapping sets of [men] [women] [feminists] yet. Joyce sorted me, but not herself, into the [feminists] Well, she put me in [liberated] Was that the same thing or not? I did usedta see myself as a feminist backalong. Equality and all that good shit.
But I clearly do not qualify; I’ve never had an abortion.
