Instead, make a list of actors you will watch. Saves a lot of time. :)

Dreyfuss? Dreyfuss? Oh yeah, now I remember. Chief Inspector Dreyfuss of the Surete'.

I remember well that Jacques Clouseau drove him crazy. Looks like he is doing no better. How sad!

*yawn*

Exactly, who the F@#^ cares what this TRUELY arrogant man thinks....

It blows my mind that people would listen to just any celebrity regarding politics/world events. Unless they have done extensive work in the issue they comment on.

They are paid lots of money to say things they didn't even think of and do what someone else tells them (director) and fake emotion. Everyone follows them around and hands them anything they want and never say "no" to them cause they are their meal ticket.

Arggh.... it just pisses me off that people put these shallow self concerned idiots on a pedestal.

[tndarlin]

I have figured out the only way to deal with this kind of rhetoric is to laugh in their face. It really pisses them off.

At this point, I have lost all respect with thoughtful discourse and think they are all just crazy. I cannot truly believe that you can even present facts anymore.

It is all about hate.

I know I have read that Richard Dreyfus hires a man as his "policy advisor." Dreyfus then uses this man's data for public political appearances.

Sounds as though the VRWC has, yet again, infiltrated the democrat faithful and subverted their public rhetorical efforts.

Richard Dreyfuss is a has been in the movie industry, a relic from the 1970s much like Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt. It appears that the Democrats are using well known names in the entertainment business, especially those with little to lose in terms of movie and music sales, to feed "red meat" Bush bashing tirades to the party faithful.

[Ruth A.]

Exactly what I was thinking. It is so easy to imagine him spouting off, because this is what he does in his rolls.

[Rastus]

This will all continue until Republicans stop patronizing these people. When Julia Roberts says Republicans come between Reptile and Repugnant in the dictionary, take it personally! Make sure no Republican is ever in her audience! Make these people know that they will lose half their audience with this crap. They aren't just bashing our politicians. People like her and Linda Ronstadt hate all of us. They don't want us in their audience? Don't be in their audience.

"Dreyfuss added, ``He is the enemy of thoughtfulness.''

LOL This statement is supposed to appeal to our 'intellect'. . .and yet, it is completely meaningless.

What a stooge.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Dreyfuss added, ``He is the enemy of thoughtfulness.'' ...people who hate, like you, are enemies of thoughtfulness , Mr. Dreyfuss

[oblomov]

I AM THE LORAX! I SPEAK FOR THE TREES!

[OPS4]

The HIlloywood spin machine is at it again. They had better realize the conservatives are movie goers too.
Ops4 God BLess America!

[RexBeach]

I interviewed many, many actors while I in broadcasting and I can tell you this much: They are, in the main, the dumbest people I have ever encountered. I love what they do, but Good Lord, I wish they'd just shut and act!

Ah, now I feel better.

[SmithPatterson]

I agree. Too many Republicans attend these movies. We should quit feeding the dogs that bite us!!! Read books and watch television and movies less. It will be better for you!

[E=MC²]

Amen.

"I wasn't raised in George Bush's America."

Let's see - he's about 60 years old? So he would have been raised in an era when Japanese-Americans were interred in relocation camps, when Jim Crow and racial segregation were in effect, when most women stayed at home rather than take jobs, when abortion was prohibited virtually everywhere, when America destroyed entire cities with atomic bombs, when America fought a long, bloody war in Korea, when girls didn't play sports, when Americans feared communism and McCarthyism held sway, when America was prudish and censorious, when "blue laws" kept businesses closed on Sunday, when gay marriage was a laughable idea, when Christian morality had a greater effect on law and policy? Those are the days Dreyfuss wants to return to? Those were the liberal good old days? What an ignoramus.

Hey, Dick Dried-up...

[USVet6792Retired]

Please Richard, get in this combat vets face.

[muleskinner]

The lunatic Dreyfus...

[PhilipFreneau]

Dreyfuss called Bush ``arrogant and incompetent'' and said ``his appeal to patriotism is simplistic and thuggish.'' Dreyfuss added, ``He is the enemy of thoughtfulness.''

Another brain-dead secular Jew weighs in. Check this out from an article titled, Richard Dreyfus and Hollywood's hateful left:

"That the Hollywood likes of Dreyfus don't really like capitalist America is pretty clear. What is not well known is that they don't like Israel either. Although Dreyfus is Jewish he has a soft spot for Arab terrorists who murder Israeli children and who call for the extermination of Israel."

In fact, read the entire article.
