But Willis also just did this.

Actor Bruce Willis has performed before US soldiers in Telafar, northern Iraq, and offered $1m (£603,000) to the man who captures Saddam Hussein.
"We're here to support you," the star told troops as he sang a set of blues songs with his band, the Accelerator.
"If you catch him, just give me four seconds with Saddam Hussein," he said.
Willis will next fly south to visit US soldiers in Tikrit - Saddam's home town - before performing two concerts for troops in neighbouring Kuwait.
"Somebody that supports the military like he has and that comes to visit soldiers - that's important to us," said Greg Pagan, from 3rd Brigade of the 101st's Airborne Division based at Telafar.
'Thumbs up'
"It's awesome," said commander Col Michael Linnington. "It's great for morale. "He's a macho actor. Soldiers identify with action movies and action actors. He's a guy's guy."
During an interview Willis said: "Peculiar thing back home is that the liberal media was trying to portray it as a bad war.
"But being over here just a couple of days, seeing how well our troops and the allied troops are being received here, (I) think the Iraqi people are happy we're here," the Hollywood star said.
Willis will also visit troops in Kuwait
"Children are being taken care of, starting being inoculated, starting being looked after. Wherever these guys go they get thumbs up. They no longer have to contend with the terrorist leader," Willis said.
But the star later admitted he had not met many Iraqis because he had been travelling the country by helicopter.
Willis, a Republican party supporter, was one of the few celebrities to publicly back the US' stance during the recent war on Iraq, which was led by President Bush.
Willis recently played a US special forces commander sent in to rescue medical staff in war-torn Nigeria in the film Tears of the Sun.
I have an older relative in California who is a big Republican, but he's against the recall, too, just on grounds that it's a bad precedent. As much I love the idea of ditching Gray Davis (and how could anyone have been stupid enough to elect him in the first place, let alone reelect him?), I can kind of see his point. It has emboldened all sorts of idiots to try to recall everybody.
The idiocy ranges from Democrats trying to recall President Bush to supporters of our unlamented former Dallas police chief, Terrell Bolton, passing around petitions to try to recall our mayor, Laura Miller, for firing his worthless butt. After all, all he's done is preside over botched arrests and firings that have cost us millions in lawsuits and made us a laughing stock, allowed our crime rate to reach #1 in the nation, and arrogantly refused even to meet with his superiors to discuss it. Then when he was finally fired, he spent the past month on TV, crying like a little girl with a bee sting, which I'm sure filled the criminal element with fear and respect for our police department. Any white man with his record would've been on the unemployment line ages ago. But his supporters claim he was only fired because he's black, so now they're trying to recall the mayor.
That is definitely a bad side effect of the California recall: it is encouraging morons to make even bigger public fools and nuisances of themselves than they already were.
