Actor Richard Dreyfus slams Bush
By Laura Kurtzman
Mercury News
BOSTON - The Kerry campaign has been adamant that this Democratic convention not turn into an occasion to bash President Bush.
But the message has not gotten to Richard Dreyfuss, the actor who addressed the California delegation at its Tuesday breakfast.
In a speech that went on so long that California Democratic Party Chairman Art Torres began to hover nervously at his side, Dreyfuss called Bush ``arrogant and incompetent'' and said ``his appeal to patriotism is simplistic and thuggish.''
Dreyfuss added, ``He is the enemy of thoughtfulness.''
``I wasn't raised in George Bush's America, and I wouldn't be comfortable in it,'' Dreyfuss said. ``In this America, you point toward a sin and you are pointed at. You are the irritant not the gatekeeper. You smell funny -- sinister funny. Terrorist-friendly. You mention due process and the silence is not respectful, it is ominous.''
The delegates gave him a standing ovation, which led Dreyfuss to give a few last remarks, urging them to counter the Republicans' every attack and ``be consistent and in their face.''

"Dreyfuss added, ``He is the enemy of thoughtfulness.''
``I wasn't raised in George Bush's America, and I wouldn't be comfortable in it,'' Dreyfuss said. ``In this America, you point toward a sin and you are pointed at. You are the irritant not the gatekeeper. You smell funny -- sinister funny. Terrorist-friendly. You mention due process and the silence is not respectful, it is ominous.'' "
This guy is incoherent!

So....what SOLUTIONS did Dreyfuss propose?I think it's fairly clear that Dreyfuss' primary solution is to get rid of the President. It may be a poor solution, but a solution it is.

This from an "actor" who has only one pose in his repertoire: the perpetually pissed-off smart ass.

Hi my name is Richard Dreyfuss and I pretend to be other people for a living. Right now I am pretending to be thoughtful, so you should pretend to listen to me.

Before the convention is done the idiots will resume their ranting against all advice.

``He is the enemy of thoughtfulness.''
Please inform Mr. Dreyfus that tin foil is an efficient shield against Bush's brain-scrambling radio wave technology.
