France Honors Actor Bruce Willis

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

Help me out here. Did I fall through some fucking wormhole in the space-time continuum and come out in some freaky alternate universe? Bruce Willis a) receives an award for acting from the French and b) ends his acceptance speech with "Vive la France?"

1. it seems to be a true story?

Willis may not be the most wonderful human being in the world but he can be a very good actor in the right vehicle. I'm glad he was courteous and hope some goodwill has been created.

The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

2. This is great!!!

First, it will rankle his right-wing fans who like to dump on the French and second it will give us the excuse to use the names Bruce Willis and Jerry Lewis in the same sentence.

Jerry Lewis

5. Willis WAS a repug, he watches the Daily Show and enjoys it

he would not campaign for Bush last year.

Willis is a decent person, a bit misguided but decent.

4. They love Jerry Lewis

But then again they oppose Bush & the war - so it all evens out in the end
