Actress Queen Latifah Implies "Whole Cold War Thing" a Ruse

at The "incredible timing" of Osama bin Laden linking his cause with Iraq just as the Bush administration was trying to prove such a tie, is better timing "than Hugh Hefner finding Viagra at 78," Joy Behar quipped on ABC's daytime show The View. Also on the Wednesday edition of that show, Queen Latifah, who was just nominated for an Academy Award, suggested the "whole Cold War thing," in which "they made us scared" of the Soviet Union, was a big ruse.

On the February 12 The View, the ABC show created by Barbara Walters, former Good Morning America staffer and WABC Radio talk show host Joy Behar suggested some sort of nefarious doings by Bush operatives: "This is incredible timing. Really. I mean, here we are trying to find the link between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda, in comes the tape that exact day. The timing is better than Hugh Hefner finding Viagra at 78. You know what I'm saying? Here's a man all his life, did whatever he wanted, and now that he's old he has Viagra. Same idea."

Former NBC News reporter Star Jones chimed in: "Really wagging the dog this time."

Then Queen Latifah, who was nominated on Tuesday for an Academy Award for "Best Supporting Actress" for her role in the movie Chicago, wondered: "Don't you want to know what's real and what's not? I remember when I was a kid, you know, this whole Cold War thing. They had us scared of the Russians. 'The Russians, the Russians, the Russians.' So it's almost like what's real and what's not?"

Like anyone rational would trust her to know.

So, because we won the "Cold War thing" there never was a threat, millions didn't die because of communism and no one was enslaved by Soviet expansionism?

Sounds like she's campaigning for Oscar. I have two words for her: Richard Gere.

[fight_truth_decay]

LIKE you might be right! ;)

[NorseWood]

Is she going to run for President too?

[demlosers]

Another Hollyfool that has rocks for brains.

[From The Deer Stand]

I always wondered, what is she the queen of? And, why do we place any credence in the foreign policy statements of actors/actresses who have zero knowledge of foreign policy?

[Lijahsbubbe]

Who cares what she thinks!

[T Lady]

What a shame! Queen Latifah has caught the Hollyweird Moronious virus. Let's hope for a speedy recovery.

I guesss i'll have to say goodbye to another actress I used to like. I'm not even going to tear into the stupidity of her statement. Those of us who fought in her "Cold War thing" will tell a different story. Libs love Stalin.

[Lexington Green]

The deep thoughts of Queen Latifah..... feel the enlightenment.

[fjsva]

What country is she Queen of?????

[Lijahsbubbe]

Maybe it's some kind of gerbil virus. She was hanging around Richard Gere for 'Chicago'.

Maybe that's what they all have, some kind of gerbil brain virus. Kinda like a six degrees of separation thing.

"ABC's daytime show The View."

Pack a buch of morons in a room and what do you get?

Morons = The View

Damn. I like her too. What did she have to go and jump in bed with the Hollyweird crowd for?

Black conservative ping

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD ALERT!

Evidence suggests that a extremely high percentage of politicians, clerics and entertainers suffer from a mysterious and tragic syndrome that erodes the brain and then the spine. This disorder may also infect others in positions of authority - religious, secular and otherwise. The primary route of transmission is suspected to be through favor gaining behaviors, particularly close oral-anal contact, with other syndrome sufferers.

An increasing body of evidence suggests that rarified political atmospheres far removed from the risk exposures of normal living contribute heavily to an individual's susceptibility. Initial symptoms include a growing atrophy of the right brain functions and a progressive, leftward lean in stance and action. In extreme cases, the patient may exhibit a range of symptoms from drooling, vacant staring and severely impaired brain function to more the advanced pathology of violent protestations and paranoid delusions.

The only known protective measures are to resist the impulse to moralize or legislate from an emotional basis. In addition, avoid close associations with those known to suffer from the syndrome and to get plenty of exposure to antigens in the outside environment through daily living in the real world.

"I always wondered, what is she the queen of?"

Self proclaimed.
She started by calling herself princes.(Until she found out what it means)

[biblewonk]

What kind of a part was she playing and in what movie was she "acting" where her opinon was actually worth a sh*t?

[Post Toasties]

Queen Latifah probably also calls Stalin 'Uncle Joe'. She'd better keep her night job until her world history knowledge gets beyond grade school level.
