Denzel Washington's politlics


Verrrrry interesting! Historically,   "you people" has usually
been construed as RACIST!!! and Denzel might have missed
a chance to drive in the nail a little deeper and bend it over.
Strange---somehow I would have had him figured for the
other side of the fence. HOOOYAH!!! for Mr. D. Washington.
I'll have to add Ms. Streep to my Xhit list along with W. Goldberg,
B, Streisand, A Baldwin, B. Springsteen, and J. Fonda.
Thanks for brightening my day!!

Denzel Washington's politlics


Did You See or Hear About This Did you see the Denzel Washington interview with Katie Couric on NBC last Friday morning (13 August
2004)?

Not many people are talking about it. They are wishing it would go away and are trying to sweep it under the rug.

But it's not going to happen! It basically went like this.

********************

Meryl Streep and Denzel were on the today show "live" with Katie Couric to talk about the movie "Manchurian Candidate."

At one point Katie asked Denzel, "have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?" To which Denzel replied, "No, and I have no intentions on seeing it." Katie and Meryl were "so noticeably" taken aback! It was so cool!

Then, a discourse (or more preferably, a fight!) began between all three of them with
Denzel being barraged with all kinds of anti-Bush, anti-republican comments, but "the man stood his ground" and soon enraged the women so much that they couldn't get a word in edgewise. Meryl Streep turned blood red and she sat with her legs crossed and her one leg shaking up and down, fuming! Then Katie uttered the words that put the final nail in her coffin, she said to Denzel "you see, that's the problem I have with "you people."

She of course did not get to finish her sentence because Denzel pounced on her verbally by responding "YOU PEOPLE! YOU PEOPLE! Just what do you mean you people! Do you mean "You People" as in me as a Christian, or do you mean "You People" as in me as a REPUBLICAN? She then tap danced her way through the next minute of the show. But Denzel went out fighting and declaring that Fahrenheit 9/11 is nothing but propaganda and lies distorted to support a cynical democratic film director's views.

Woo whoo!! I love the man! There's a celebrity that deserves to wear the uniform in movies.
