Sen. Hillary Clinton's camp blasted actor James Woods yesterday after he maligned the New York lawmaker this week.
Woods, who plays former Mayor Giuliani in the upcoming cable pic "Rudy," said Wednesday that Giuliani "went to over 200 [9/11] funerals. Senator Clinton went to zero. That's a simple statistic you never read."
No wonder you never read it: It's not true.
Woods' comments were "factually inaccurate and extremely inappropriate," said Clinton's rep, Jennifer Hanley.
Hanley noted that Clinton attended many police and firefighter funerals and gave a eulogy at the service for FDNY chaplain Father Mychal Judge.
Hillary's husband thinks funerals are fun!
I hardly think it was "many."
It's like a funerally - only less fun! :o)
Maybe his role as a vampire hunter in "John Carpenter's Vampires" helped him train for this.
Actor James Woods: 'I'm A Rudy Believer'
By Diane Werts - Newsday Staff Writer January 7, 2003 HOLLYWOOD -- "Rest easy, Rudy Giuliani.
Though James Woods can be a volatile star, both on-screen and off, his portrayal of the ex-New York mayor in a USA cable bio-flick isn’t likely to diminish any luster for those who revere the man as a hero of Sept. 11.
“I’m the true Rudy believer in the whole group,” Woods told TV critics at the Hollywood press tour alongside co-star Penelope Ann Miller and director Robert Dornhelm, promoting the March 30 “Rudy” premiere. “There’s virtually nothing about Rudy Giuliani that I don’t unequivocally admire.”
It’s clear in the preview clips shown by USA that Woods has studied Giuliani closely. He isn’t doing an imitation, but he’s captured the urgent rhythms of Giuliani’s voice, his fidgety energy and the bullying bulldog the man can at times become. And Woods is certainly an admirer of Giuliani’s politics, digressing on Tuesday repeatedly to express disdain for David Dinkins’ term as mayor and for “great empress” Hillary Rodham Clinton.
“If I told the story,” he admitted, “the guy would’ve had a halo all the time.”
But that didn’t happen. Director Dornhelm (“Anne Frank”), said after the session that his goal was to “hold up the mirror and show the man the way I think he is. I’m not doing the hero’s journey.”
I'd bet she's caused more funerals than she's attended. Her husband certainly has, many times over.
Far be it from me to defend the hildabeast, but in the interest of accuracy, I saw a photo of her weeping at one of the funerals. I have it somewhere.
