The hacks put forth a Chortle Inducing Indictment of Hollywood (Holy Wood?) Celebrity

<b>Conduct Unbecoming
<i>Tom Cruise learns celebrity is risky business.</i></b>

Depending on where you're standing, August has not been a good month.

If you're Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, it has not been a good month. If you were feeling worn down by a world overstocked with Islamic bombers, the news out of unmerry olde England did not make for a good month. And if you are a Boston Red Sox fan and have just witnessed a statistically improbable five-game sweep at home by your mortal enemy, it has assuredly not been a good month.

Then, of a sudden, the clouds parted and delivered unto us, courtesy of a scoop on this paper's front page, Paramount's Sumner Redstone firing Tom Cruise. It doesn't get any better than this, and this deserves some elaboration.

The rest is <a href= "http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/dhenninger/?id=110008846">here</a>...

No real political agenda here, just poking fun at Hollywood.

But they still have to take a shot at Howard Dean in a Hollywood piece. So lame...

boo hoo

I guess Tom Delay <i>doesn't</i> cancel that out in your eyes?

Delay's been indicted for some serious shit. "Cancel?"
Why Dean?

Because Dean gets up in public on one hand and tells people he advocates tolerance while on the other he's telling the media he hates republicans and everything they stand for.

Way to value the differences, Deaner.

So much for poking fun at Tom Cruise...

Your bias shows when you don't also say the same for the RNC chair, Ken Mehlman, who is just as outspoken as Dean, though not as vile as Ed Gulispee was. It's their job to bad mouth the other party, to single out one side is truely a most biased thing to do.

It's the same old story we've been thru many times before: The Dems are intolerant of intolerance. The Republicans are tolerant of intolerance. Which is right in that paradox?

Delay is probably going to jail for the better portion of the rest of his life. Seems like a stretch to put him in a bowl with Dr. Dean.

My attempt of turning people on to a funny article about the recent struggle of the Boston Red Sox and the freakishness of Tom Cruise have been thwarted because Dawn freekin Bixtler takes issue with the Howard Dean reference.

Can you honestly say that Dean, unlike Delay, does not resort to histrionics?

At any rate, my attempt to share humor has been absolutely humor-less and joy-less, and will certainly not be repeated.

Fight the good fight brothers-

peace out MF DU

I cannot say Dean does not resort to histrionics, and I never would.
