TGIF Laughs

It's always good to start the weekend off with a couple of TGIF laughs.

We have two instances of the Hollywood Left at its screwiest.

First, let's look at what Richard Dreyfuss has to offer.

From CNSNews.com:




Richard Dreyfuss, the actor who starred in movies ranging from "Jaws" to "Mr. Holland's Opus," told an audience in Washington, D.C., on Thursday that "there are causes worth fighting for," and one of those is the impeachment of President George W. Bush."

"There are causes worth fighting for even if you know that you will lose," Dreyfuss said during a speech at the National Press Club. "Unless you are willing to accept torture as part of a normal American political lexicon, unless you are willing to accept that leaving the Geneva Convention is fine and dandy, if you accept the expansion of wiretapping as business as usual, the only way to express this now is to embrace the difficult and perhaps embarrassing process of impeachment." See Video

Noting that the process was established by the country's "founders, who we revere to check executive abuse with congressional balance," Dreyfuss said impeachment "is a statement that we refuse to endorse bad behavior." See Video

There's more.

Rather than get angry with Dreyfuss' over the top rhetoric, just kick back and laugh at it.

Thank God that the majority of Americans have more sense than Dreyfuss. Most would probably agree that as far as politics goes Dreyfuss is a doofus.

Now, let's turn to Alec Baldwin.

On the Huffington Post, Baldwin writes:

So, I suppose the question is...what kind of civil trial will we see, or not see, between Cheney and Whittington? Whittington is certainly no stranger to a court room and to civil litigation. Will Cheney pay him off, preemptively? Will they go to court? I would imagine if a guy with a few beers in him shoots you in the face on a hunting trip, how could you turn down that opportunity?

What would Cheney do about the whole secrecy thing then? I mean, this is the guy that sicced Enron on Gray Davis and the state of California to embarrass Davis, trigger the recall and then watched Arnold Schwarzenegger become governor of California. (To this day, perhaps, still the low point in American political life.) Then Cheney covered it up.

Cheney's the guy who told Libby to out Valerie Plame. The rumor I heard is that someone yelled, "Look out! Shooter!" and Cheney thought he said Scooter and fired in that general direction.

Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately. Who ever thought Harry Whittington would be the answer to America's prayers. Finally, someone who might get that lying, thieving Cheney into a courtroom to answer some direct questions.

His last paragraph is absolutely priceless, saying that the Vice President "terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately."

That is so goofy it's funny.

Is this a satirical piece? Is Baldwin a plagiarist? Did he lift this from The Onion?

Whatever. I like Baldwin when he's not spouting politics.

I must compartmentalize. Actually, I've become quite skilled at it.

I really can't get upset over the statements of Dreyfuss and Baldwin. They may have the lib media to fawn all over them, but outside of that spotlight, they have no more power than any other American.

Well, actually, because of their B-list celebrity status, they do have a bit more power. Unlike most Americans, their comments get picked up by news services and all the world gets to know their thoughts. They have the power to make total fools of themselves in the eyes of millions and millions of people.

I love it that both Dreyfuss and Baldwin have toyed with the idea of running for office.

That would probably be the most entertaining thing in years to come from either of them. Personally, I wish they would pursue their political dreams.

If only wishing made it so!

TGIF!!!
