Political tidbits and other shenanigans from around the nation's capital.
"Since Iraq is the size of California," asks reader B.A. Rucker, "do you think regime change in California could be done in under four weeks?"
Human shields Why are protesters planning to line up outside the National Press Club today for an appearance by antiwar activist and Hollywood actor Tim Robbins? "We are human shields for reporters," says Kristinn Taylor of the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, "in case they ask a question of Tim Robbins he doesn't like." Mr. Robbins has threatened reporters and columnists with bodily harm over coverage he deems insufficiently favorable. As another example of Mr. Robbins' temper, Mr. Taylor cited the recent decision by the National Baseball Hall of Fame to cancel a celebration of the movie "Bull Durham" rather than give Mr. Robbins and fellow activist/actor Susan Sarandon a forum for their antiwar views. In a letter to the Hall of Fame, Mr. Robbins called President Dale Petroskey one of the "cowards and ideologues" who disgrace the country and the military.

Tim Robbins Slept His Way To The Bottom. I have a sign idea, "Stop Tim Robbins, Before He Makes 'Howard The Duck Part II'"

Tim Robbins is doing a knock off of the movie "The Prince of the City". It's called the "Commisar of Union Square".

Absolutely brilliant! It's too bad readers of the Washington Post don't get to have a little laugh too.

"We are human shields for reporters," Wonderful. Gotta love the DC chapter. John McCaslin has been very good to FR.

the movie "Bull Durham" rather than give Mr. Robbins and fellow activist/actor Susan Sarandon a forum for their antiwar viewsAs I said elsewhere.....I saw that movie video ("Bull Durham")some time ago and the images left in my mind are that Robbins threw like a girl and Sarandon played an aging groupie who liked to fornicate with young ball players.

So, it was a true story?
To: Doctor Raoul
Another poster idea--
McCARTHY WAS RIGHT
Leave it to the Press Club to give this little rat who plays make believe a forum to express himself. I'm sure they must have done the same for John Rocker, Jimmy the Greek and Marge Schott.

Gee, it's gonna be so hard for Freepers to quit going to Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon movies. And just when their careers were at their zenith (actually, this is probably ture, LOL).
