Let’s see how long Obama lasts.
He appears to be one of the few decent and moral people in Hollyweird.
I remember when the now-deceased black ‘newsman’ on 60 minutes interviewed the highly hypocritical D.W. In one question the ‘reporter’ noted that he had heard that DW demanded $16M for each role. DW’s chest poked out, his shoulders straightened, and he snidely smiled while he beamed, “Yes.”
In the very next interrogative the ‘reporter’ asked something similar to: “Is it true that other actors demand much more?”
In one millisecond the wry smile disappeared to a frown, the shoulders slumped and his back sagged as he said, “The playing field is not even.”
Poor, sweet baby. I almost cried. /s
Any lucky aviator who went thru SERE in Warner Springs (during Vietnam) got to check it out at least once while in the compound. It sucked but it’s not torture.
That’s not waterboarding.
At least NOTHING like what I experienced in Warner Springs.
Real waterboarding is absolutely brutal.
Why is he hypocritical? Because he said, “Put God first?”
From what people who have worked with him tell me, he is a genuinely good man and he is known to help people around him when he learns that are having trouble. He’s a good man
While Democrats have tended to exaggerate its effects, waterboarding is a PG-rated version of a much more painful treatment.
Hugh Collar left an account of what it was like to be given the water cure. “After the first searing pain you don’t feel anything more for a bit; you are out cold, but the coming around is pretty terrible, too.”
The water cure was not only painful; it was often fatal. Smith recalled that two Chinese prisoners who had been given the water cure were returned to their cells, dead. Sometimes, after weeks of torment, victims would literally lose their minds, moaning and babbling insanely.]
And his puppeteer, Valerie Jarret
Yep. We could use some more good men like Denzel Washington.
It’s not waterboarding if you use Diesel.
This story was made not really to be about Denzel Washington. He was an excuse to make an article about waterboarding. A method of getting someone to talk that scares the bejesus out of them but rarely if ever caused a perp to die.
That anecdote shows hypocrisy how?
Or the Clintons.
That’s true.
Ed Bradley.
I took my kid to wait outside his trailer when he was filming a couple of blocks from our house. He came out and was super polite and cordial, even though it was a cold night and he had another half block to walk up to the set. We still have his autograph somewhere around the house. Cannot say the same for Tom Hanks when we waited for him. Rude snot.
No, because on the one hand he was snotty about getting $16M per movie but sadly saying that the playing field was not level.
Some of his black brothers in the hood would agree with me.
