Hartnett Has His Suspicions About Wellstone's Plane Crash

Count Josh Hartnett among the conspiracy buffs regarding Sen. Paul Wellstone's untimely death in a 2002 plane crash in northern Minnesota. The cover boy in this month's GQ says, " 'It didn't make any sense' " about the accident that killed Wellstone, his wife, Sheila, their daughter, the pilots and three others.

"He's angry, and he's not convinced that pilot error or mechanical failure or fog was to blame for the crash," writes GQ's Alex Pappademas, who noted that Hartnett "points out how close the race was, how Republicans were hell-bent on winning control of the Senate, how George W. Bush" made several visits to Minnesota "to support Wellstone's opponent, Norm Coleman."

Hartnett is quoted as saying, "It was really, really suspicious, but I don't even want to think that. I just hope it's not true, because that would just be so, so, so wrong."

"really, really, so, so, so..."

Wholly, crap.

[DManA]

God was helping Paul keep his two term promise.

[Right Wing Assault]

Actually Clinton did it so he would have a funeral at which to quiver his lip. And so the party could use it as a political rally.

[muawiyah]

Let me try to fisk that: "No doubt Wellstone died at the hands of leftwingnuts out to create an event they thought would embarrass the evil Republicans."

There, that's much better. Whachya' think?

[AaronInCarolina]

Yeah. Right. Like that's really rational. G.W. Bush supports the republican candidate, so naturally he should be suspected of conspiracy to commit murder. What a loon!

[taxesareforever]

And so the party could use it as a political rally.

You mean, so the party could have a party. Yeeeeeehaaaaaa.

[cripplecreek]

Very foggy, rainy, and windy. Combine that with air miles traveled (in a small plane) by a congressman and you have a fair chance of being in an accident at some point.

[ExSES]

Hartnett is quoted as saying, "It was really, really suspicious, but I don't even want to think that. I just hope it's not true, because that would just be so, so, so wrong."

I have it on good authority from an anonymous contributor to Art Bell/George Noory's program that the "Illuminati" contracted with a Venusian mercenary to down that aircraft! Further details upon secret request...

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Let's remember that the Wellstone funeral/rally was SO offensive that JESSE VENTURA grabbed his wife and stormed out.

[CremeSaver]

Good grief. Is this moron still talking about this? I read this a few years ago in another interview that he gave. He's an idiot.

[Dutch Boy]

Josh..... put down the crack pipe. You are starting to get paranoid delusions.

[hoosierham]

Ever notice how few planes crash accidentally on a fine clear day?

You couldn't get me to fly in poor weather;matter of fact,I will not drive in a bad storm.Few of us are so vital to the world that delaying our arrival makes a difference.

[gore_sux]

I find it suspicious that "everyman" Paul didn't have worker's comp for his staff, meaning it had to be paid by the state. Even in death Paul managed to take my tax dollars.

[Central Scrutiniser]

The plane didn't crash, it was all faked, Wellstone is alive and he is running the Bilderbergers and plotting the overthrow of the world and will be enlisting the Masons in building a New World Order.

Its true, I read it on the internet....

[okie01]

Bush supports the republican candidate, so naturally he should be suspected of conspiracy to commit murder. What a loon!

What is really appalling about this story is that "a loon" such as Hartnett is given the time of day by a supposedly reputable publication -- be it GQ or the Minneapolis Red Star & Sickle.

There was a time, not so long ago, when somebody propounding fantasies like this would have been laughed out of the building. But that would be judgmental!

So that now, in our enlightened age, these loons are taken seriously...

[blake6900]

The cover boy in this month's GQ says, " 'It didn't make any sense' " about the accident that killed Wellstone, his wife, Sheila, their daughter, the pilots and three others.

Well, with all this Mark Foley business going on and the GOP's prospects of holding on to control of Congress this election year not looking that promising, it looks like it's not a good time to be a Democrat.

I'd stay away from planes if I were them.

[ConservaTexan]

It is scary to think that out of millions of sperm this guy won. If evolution is true one would think that after thousands of years, people like this would have been eliminated. Instead they have joined the democratic party and just keep polluting the gene pool.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

".....points out how close the race was, how Republicans were hell-bent on winning control of the Senate, how George W. Bush" made several visits to Minnesota "to support Wellstone's opponent, Norm Coleman."

You got to admit it, he does make a pretty compelling case...(obvious sarcasm).

[Right Wing Assault]

You couldn't get me to fly in poor weather;matter of fact,I will not drive in a bad storm.

Wait a minute, that's true. Now I'm thinking maybe Rove was testing out his weather machine. Was he secretly working with Clinton at the time?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Indeed!!

[denydenydeny]

The world's worst actor is also the world's dumbest actor. And he has a lot of competition.

[Reaganesque]

These people need help. I mean serious, serious psychiatric help. Sure, we Conservatives have our nuts but crimeny, are there any rational human beings left on that side of the aisle? These people are a danger to themselves. Last election we had a couple of Leftist suicides when George Bush was re-elected. What happens this November if they don't gain control of the Senate as they expect? Seek help people, now! Jeez!!

[Right Wing Assault]

Where does Joe Wilson fit into this case?

[flying Elvis]

Hartnett has issues beyond Wellstone: http://www.thesuperficial.com/2006/03/20/josh_hartnett_getting_a_little.html

I guess we now know who Charlie Sheen's drinking buddy is.

[kylaka]

It was a textbook "classic" aircraft accident. There are some things you can't stage, even if you wanted too.

[denydenydeny]

You got to admit it, he does make a pretty compelling case...(obvious sarcasm).

It's in the same vein as the slam-dunk proof that Bush stole the 2000 election: "Well, his brother was the governor." Case closed!

[blake6900]

You got to admit it, he does make a pretty compelling case...(obvious sarcasm).

Thanks...I spewed soda all over my monitor. LOL.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Oh, for Pete's Sake!

You should see the shrine they build in the woods at the crash site. It's like a pagan temple.

[185JHP]

Pure jets have a much better safety record...

[blake6900]

Its true, I read it on the internet....

Lucky for us Gore invented it.

[isthisnickcool]

WE WILL WIN! WE WILL WIN!!

Oh, another thing, so please excuse me a sec, but has anyone checked to see where John Kerry (a pilot) was on the day that John Heinz had problems with his plane? I've read that Kerry met Terrr-ee-za some time before the untimely demise of her husband. Makes you wonder if Kerry messed with the Heinz plane, eh? Nudge nudge, wink wink....

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Now I'm thinking maybe Rove was testing out his weather machine.

Better not to think about such things. Now let's all join in a few choruses of Kumbaya.

[muawiyah]

Yeah, the same gang got Senatorial candidate Richard Dudley Obenshain and Representative Hale Boggs.

But they missed me ~ I didn't get on the planes that were going to crash.

[Right Wing Assault]

Here's Josh! Eeeeeee! Isn't he hot, girls??

[Navy Patriot]

This all started when Hartnett was abducted by space aliens and probed....

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

"It was a textbook "classic" aircraft accident. There are some things you can't stage, even if you wanted to."

Nope. I heard that there were secret lasers involved. Secret government sort of lasers.

;-)

[Edison]

Blame that on Antibiotics. We haven't have natural selection in this country since WWII. Those that would of died off 60 years ago to childhood illness, flu and pneumonia get to live and pro-create, passing on those bad genes.

[Valin]

Oh Oh! The Rumsfeld/Cheney/Bush/Haliburton death ray (patent pend.) is even now being trained on him.

Stupid question time
And todays question is, who the heck is Josh Hartnett?
Bonus question, Why should I care what he thinks? (if he does...think that is)

[supremedoctrine]

Meet the ideal new Lefty boy bimbo hollywood hottie.
My daughter bumped into him at a club she was working at
in NYC, and he was so out of it he mistook my daughter for
his supposed friend Rain Phoenix, who she really doesn't resemble much at all.

[cripplecreek]

Since I've moved to an area with several small airports near by I've come to realize just how many small plane crashes there are. In ten years I've seen at least a dozen crashes. only a couple were serious but they do happen very often.

[Right Wing Assault]

Those that would of died off 60 years ago to childhood illness, flu and pneumonia get to live and pro-create, passing on those bad genes.

Rove understands this and is introducing some new 'superbugs' to kill off the weaklings that shouldn't have made it this far.

[Valin]

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean THEY aren't out to get you.

[Edison]

Wait, Heinz died in a plane crash, Wellstone and didn't the Senate candidate/Govenor of Missouri die right before the election. Gee, I used to think rock stars ought to stay out of planes...looks like Senators too.

[BlessedBeGod]

Another freaking Hollywood idiot.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

"but has anyone checked to see where John Kerry (a pilot) was on the day that John Heinz had problems with his plane?"

I heard that he was in Vietnam......

[Right Wing Assault]

Thailand? Oh, Vietnam.

[Darnright]

"So, Mr Bush. When was it you stopped beating your wife again?"
