Douchebag of the Year award goes to...

the polanski thing has been in the news.

i know the polanski arrest has been but scanning the wsj and cnn main pages i see no mention of whoopi. not that i really give a **** either.

are you familiar with reading comprehension? note i didn't say he didn't win. read my post more carefully.

The conservative court stopped the recounts because they were getting rocokculous. Hell, 6 newspapers (including that right-wing rag the New York Times) each did their own recounts and they all came up with Bush winning Florida within the rules (although, hilarity still ensued because they all got different margins).

Hell that came across the AP feed on my phone. Hey, its not "real rape. He just drugged up a 13 year old girl." If that was the case then there would be only 10 legit sex offenders.

I agree he is a douche bag, which is fine if he wants to try and pedal his propaganda. I just hate it when people think that he's uncovering some great truth. His films are not documentarys or "news." He goes out with an opinion and a goal in mind, and will twist facts and statements to make it fit how he wants it to.

The last film I watched was "Roger and me" a few years ago in a sociology class. After the film basically our class was in a uproar of sorts on how big of a douche bag Michael Moore is. Then we went over and found all the time line fuckups he did. IE There was a specific instance where some gentleman was having a christmas party and said something about the ongoing detroit layoffs. This was played after the plant was closed to show how he shit canned everyone out of a job a few days before Christmas. In reality the plant didn't close for a while after chistmas... but who gives a fuck. Micheal Moore doesn't need facts, he can make them and they are true.

This.

Though, I think you're being a little rough on true blue scum lumping Michael Moore in the lot; Moore aspires to be a douche.

I never heard the Goldberg thing so I Youtubed it, figured I'd post it if anyone else hasn't seen it.

[lennon]

what a dolt. she sounds like my idiot liberal friends. this is the 1st ive heard her outside of the sister act movies and hollywood squares.

[HiTheNameIsBJ]

Oh she's an opinionated little waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles. I love how she asks, if we're following the constitution loyally does that mean I have to worry about slavery? What are you skipping number 13, 14, and 15? If we are loyally following the constitution we are obviously going to follow those 3 as well. Anyway do you really take McCain as the supremacist type? Do you really think he has any intention of reinstating slavery? Just because he is opposing a black man does not make him a racist.

[lennon]

obviously no presidential candidate would say "yes, i support slavery" even if they did. and its a fair bet that almost anyone you meet in the U.S. wont support slavery. her question was a stupid smart-ass thing said just to be saying something. antagonizing the person she doesnt like for whatever reason. like when a kid says smart ass stuff like that to their teacher.

Exactly, there is no reason to ask that question, you obviously know what the answer is going to be.

well excuse me.. for not being upto date on the latest in the irrelevant "who gives a fuck news dept" my daily news intake consists of listening to Bloomberg radio while driving to work followed by reading the main stories in the WSJ if i have time in the am and quick updates during the day from wsj and cnn websites or iphone apps.

i really don't give a crap about what any celebrity says or does and don't quite understand the attention lavished on them by both media and people in this country.

it's theatre designed to grab ratings. i hate all those dumb broads on the view. wtf is the point of that show anyways? on yeah and i can't stand oprah, dr oz or any of that daytime crap either.

Well atleast oprah is a philanthropist, she's also not retarded. And your right, it is a ratings generator.

[lennon]

chill out dude, its just something to discuss because shes saying ridiculous stuff. people often discuss other people's comments on things, the internet makes clips and quotes spread all over very quickly. you know these things. doesnt mean the person is some kind of entertainment or celebrity junkie.

i had not heard of whoopie goldbergs comments on anything other than tom bergeron's questions, nor had i even heard that polanski had been arrested. no ones hating on you for not knowing what she said on TV. no need to hate on anyone who happened to hear about it.

edit- that was to kishg, there were a lot of posts between when i clicked "quick reply" and the time i actually posted.

[ben312]

i thought it was going to be about kanye..

And here I clicked on it thinking we were all back on bimmerjoe

she said rape twice.

i suspect her philanthrophy, most of the time she's giving away stuff from sponsors. i agree she isn't retarded but her show is pointless imo.
