In the land of media moguls, stars, and hangers on, most seem to sway towards wanting to get President Bush out of the White House. The Times looks at how recent television shows have criticized Bush. Of course, the best example is from Law & Order:
One of the wise-cracking detectives on the NBC show "Law & Order," played by Jesse L. Martin, referred to the president as the "dude that lied to us." The character went on to say, "I don't see any weapons of mass destruction, do you?" His cantankerous partner, played by Jerry Orbach, retorted that Saddam Hussein did have such weapons because the president's "daddy" sold them to a certain someone "who used to live in Baghdad."
Dick Wolf released a statement saying, "Virtually everyone who lives in the lower 48 states at one time or another has been offended by `Law & Order.'" That's true - having Fred Thompson as the D.A. certainly offends some people. (And nice work on just talking continental U.S., Dick.)
Other examples noted are Whoopi getting mad at the President for using the bathroom at her hotel and Larry David's would-be affair being halted on Curb Your Enthusiasm because the woman had a framed picture of Bush, which was a classic moment. Let's face it, any framed pictures of a politican, of any party, without your date in the picture, is almost grounds for being a dating dealbreaker. Or at least, this is what Gothamist experienced when someone saw our Dennis Kucinich glamour shot displayed prominently in the home.
Can't wait for the comments to be filled with "Hollywood is so liberal" blah blah blah!
