Cusack Attacks Michael Moore

[Paul Atreides]

Hollywood star John Cusack has attacked filmmaker Michael Moore for failing to support the Democratic party in the last American presidential elections. Moore, who won the Best Documentary Oscar at this year's Academy Awards for his anti-gun film Bowling For Columbine, threw his backing behind left-wing candidate Ralph Nader in the 2000 elections - but Cusack believes that he should have joined him in tactical support of Democratic candidate Al Gore instead - to ensure Republican George W. Bush was beaten. Cusack explains, "He lost a lot of credibility when he went and campaigned for Ralph Nader because he was dead wrong when it counted. I'm not a huge fan of the Democratic party, but I knew there was a huge difference between them and the Bush crowd. Don't tell me Al Gore would have handed out the contract to rebuild Iraq before he'd given the order to bomb it."

The guy who played his best pal was the best thing about the movie.

Maybe that's what kept the movie remotely ok.

Bwahahaha. Rats eat their own. Pass the popcorn!

I agree with Cusack. The dems desperately need another fat stupid loser on the front lines. They don't have enough of them.

That's disappointing finding that Cusack is such RAT. One more H'weirdo to avoid.

"The actors I hold in highest esteem are those who, in response to a political question say, "Oh, what do I know? I'm just an actor." This was what Andie McDowell said on the Tonight Show "

Andie McDowell - Texas Gal!

Adding some class that the dixie chicks lost. . .

Mr Cusack isn't really a polititian, but he did play one in hollyweird.

I sort of liked Tapeheads (parts of it worked for me, parts didn't, it's really dated).

I hesitantly rented the movie (2 for 1) on DVD. Hesitantly because I really don't care to see Susan Sarandon's adopted son, Tim Robbins in anything (I have the same problem with slime bucket Alec Baldwin). I only watched the commentary track (none of the cast was present).

I didn't care for the DVD much (Repo Man had better commentary) but left it as a possible addition to my library (I had seen it on initial release as a midnight movie and later again on videotape).

Tim's costar in that film is John Cusack.

Won't buy it now. Not even as an unused "clearance" disc at Half Price Books (which is where it resides now).

I can still hear the Swany Modes' (with Sam Moore from Sam and Dave) songs on the original soundtrack album I have.

In case anyone forgets, John Cusack and Woody Harrelson were the Babs and Garafalo of the first Gulf War. By the time the media picked and ran their looney rants, the war was over.

Bummer, I thought this was an article about Michael Moore being physically attacked.
