James Earl Jones: Let's Finish the Job in Iraq (CLASSIEST ACTOR IN HOLLYWOOD!)

Fox News ^ | 2/19/03

PEMBROKE, N.C. Actor James Earl Jones, the deep voice behind Darth Vader of the Star Wars movies, said he doesn't oppose U.S. military action in Iraq, provided the country gets involved as soon as necessary and stays to finish the job.

"You mean there are still people in Hollywood that's not a total lefty?"

How about these:

1. James Woods.
2. Bruce Willis.
3. Arnold Swarzenegger.
4. Charlton Heston.
5. Bo Derek

Let's not forget the conservative, James Woods, when noting 'sane' actors.

I greatly admire James Woods and have long before 9-11. My wife carried on a correspondence with him for several years. The man is a genius, a great actor, and a great man. But "sane" is not a word I'd use to describe him. 8>)

Thanks Spooky.

"Who knew that Darth Vader was really one of the good guys!"

Anakin Skywalker a.k.a. Darth Vader went over to the "Dark Side of the Force" after the "Sand People" kidnapped his mother on Tatooween and ultimately killed her.
What he did to the "Sand People" was not pretty.

See any parallels here? "Sand People"

James Woods admits he is a registered Democrat but I haven't heard him "speak" like one in years. Maybe he has changed parties.

[Inspectorette]

I am also reminded of the story of Sidney Poitier who came to the States from the West Indies speaking with such an accent he he could not be understood by us "natives." He rid himself of the accent, but his careful, flowing speech shows the results of his training.

I wish he'd send the name of his teacher to Arianna Huffington.

How about Patricia Heaton, Jennifer O'Neill, and Renaldus Magnus?

[RansomOttawa]

Yeah, that's right! Remember last year when some plaque honoring him was erroneously worded "James Earl Ray"??

Oh yeah, that's exactly what I had in mind when I posted that:

The irony of this completely accidental gaffe is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

James Earl Jones simply shrugged it off: "I think we have much bigger things to worry about." Genuine class.

[Xthe17th]

Take that Harry Belafonte!
and Take that, Danny Glover!

PS: I still say James Earl Jones and Colin Powell were seperated at birth.

Wow!! The greatest actor of our time!!! I lOVE James Earl Jones. Okay, Saddam....let's see ya take on Darth Vader!LOL!!

[MHGinTN]

I know it's hard to believe but there are some sane Democrats. A pity their party has become such an evil twin of the party they once were.

[wardaddy]

Nice to see some balls displayed.

Agree, there are three actors who are 180 degrees opposite of sane. They are Mr. Woods, Mr. Walken and Mr. Hooper. In fact, one of the greatest face off scenes I've ever seen was between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hooper in "True Romance". This scene is closely followed by Deniro/Pacino in "Heat" and Deniro/Walken (Russian roulette scene) in "The Deer Hunter".

The voice of CNN is on our side with Iraq. That is great!

[AuntB]

THAT is a thing of beauty!!!

[SpookBrat]

Agreed. I don't totally dislike Democrats. I just dislike the stupid ones. Since 99% of them are stupid, that's a pretty big dislike list. LOL

All kidding aside, my saintly grandpa is a yellow dog Democrat but will react violently if you call him a "liberal Democrat". He says he isn't liberal. (Whatever Pa...I love you no matter what). He’s conservative and as straight laced as they come. I can’t understand for the life of me why he has given his vote to that party all these years.

OF all the voices regarding this incident, we do need to be more like Darth Vader concerning the Middle East.

Our whole message to the rest of the world should be something on the order of ....
We're easy to do business with, we like the rest of the world, but WE ARE THE LAST PEOPLE YOU WANT TO F#$K WITH EVER.

Let them hate so long as they fear our wrath.

[MeekMom]

Wow! I'm shocked, but so overwhelmingly pleased! Way to go Darth!
