Words fail me.
“It’s a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I’d rather not know. . .”
[said Linda Ronstadt.]
The state of the nation: “I saw a movie recently about a camel and these people in Mongolia, and I relate to them better than people here in this country. It looks like (Germany’s) Weimar Republic to me here.”
They don't fail Moore, though:
In a statement directed at Mr Timmins, Michael Moore said: "For you to throw Linda Ronstadt off the premises because she dared to say a few words in support of me and my film is simply stupid and un-American."
Oh yeah, I thought I'd heard something about people in this country getting called "un-American" for expressing dissenting views.
The LGF commenters are having a field day. But the best one yet:
I don't know how much more of this progressive tolerance and love I can take.
Mmph.
