From the CROSSFIRE Staff
Tonight on CROSSFIRE. many in Hollywood have taken aim at President Bush
criticizing his politics and his intelligence.
Will Tinseltown warm to the new administration or bide it's time until
someone calls it a wrap?
On the eve of Academy Award weekend, Actor and Producer Whoopi Goldberg, a
vocal critic of Bush's policies and Actor Robert Conrad, a supporter of the
new administration, debate how the president is perceived in the Hollywood
Hills.
During the presidential campaign some celebrities took shots at George W.
Bush calling him a moron and threatening to leave the U.S. if he won the
election. What about Bush unnerves them so much? Does Hollywood speak with
one voice? Are they just missing Los Angeles favorite Bill Clinton?
Hollywood has faced attacks in recent months over violent content and
marketing practices. Will the Bush administration implement any new policies
to curb studio practices? Could Bush's pro-business approach actually end up
benefiting Hollywood execs?

To me, "Sanford & Son" was cutting-edge, risky humor. No holds-barred satire,
just like "In Living Color," with the Wayan Brothers. I love that kind of
stuff. Smart white people making fun of inbred hillbillies; persons who are
Jewish making fun of the whining, stereotypical domineering JAP mother.
That's America (to me--the freedom to go that far, and make it work & be
funny).
I heard an up'n'coming black comedian on the radio mebbe four years ago, on
NPR, surprisingly, who was doing a counter-spin on political correctness.
Anyway, this guy was lightning-quick, like a black George Carlin--he had the
sense of timing that was undeniable (wish I could have written his name down).
He got the crowd laughing so hard, so into what he was doing, and then he got
real quiet and made (what I assumed to be) a motion toward a white man in one
of the front seats, and he said:
"Yeah, I can see you. I know what you're thinkin'. You're sayin' `Hmmmmmmmm,
this nigger's kind of bright. Clev-ver. Smarter than your average runaway..."
I thought I was going to have an accident either in my pants or in the car. &
then he goes: "You see, that word's never bothered me. Don't think nuthin' of
it. I get up and say it every morning: NIGGA NIGGANIGGANIGGANIGGA....make my
TEETH white."
Whew! Redd Foxx would have appreciated that. Jackie Mason, too.

re: 59 " ..persons who are Jewish..."
What the PC hell are you talking about? This "inbred hillbilly" is sick and
tired of the "PWAJ"-dominated airwaves sponsoring genetic freaks like Whoopi,
and attempting to convince our young people that these freaks represent the
finest our nation can produce.
Give up your euphemism-driven thought patterns and recognize the truth. The
media is a "PWAJ" juggernaut being launched against the last remains of
Western ideals left in American society. Anyone denying it- and sniggering at
the oh-so-naughty PC crap spewed by Hollywood- is a cultural- suicide
supporter waiting in their ignorance to be turned into the next Seattle-style
grease spot.

eeks! That's enough to earn you an "abuse" button. (I'll save someone else
the trouble).
