Actor Wonders Why Rumsfeld Hung Out At Hollywood Movie Set

[JABBS]

Cast member Jesse Bradford marvels, "What was funny is that he stuck around for a while. It's like, 'Don't you have anything better to do? You’re supposed to be running the country.'"

[MrCoffee]

1. a recent visit to the Clint Eastwood-directed war epic Flags of Our Father

and this guy wondered why Rummy was hanging out there?

Wank-a-thon!! Flags! War Epic! Clint!

[Straight Shooter]

2. Rumsfeld was merely hoping to get charisma by osmosis. n/t

[Democrat 4 Ever]

5. He just believes that courage and honor are gotten from a movie

plot and a script. He desperately needs both so he went to where to see if some of it could rub off on him. He is a media slut, anything to make himself look macho - a lot like Chucklenuts. Those who can, do. Those who can't just mouth off platitudes and swagger...and hang out with pretend statesmen (and I'm not talking about Hollywood). Another day at the office for Rummy.

3. making sure the plot doesn't harm his??

[Cleita]

4. I don't know about running the country but shouldn't he

be back at the Pentagon keeping informed on the two war fronts he's conducting?

8. you know that if you ask that question on talk radio

the response will be "stupid hollywood liberal elites who think they know better."

6. This is the set he belonged on...

7. Trying to allign Iraq with WW2...

"Flags of Our Father" is about Iwo Jima.

Another pathetic, Rumsfeld attempt at trying to psychologically equivocate WW2 with the discombobulated, ill-planned, perverse Iraq war.

If I hear/see one more comparison between WW2 and the Iraq fiasco--I'll scream.

Instead of spewing continual lies--you would think that anything to do with WW2--
would remind Rumsfeld of the glaring failures of the Iraq war.

In WW2--we stated, cogent goals that were consistent throughout the war.

Unlike WW2, Rumsfeld went into a foreign country with absolutely no frickin plan beyond the first week of battle. In Rumsfeld's own words, "We underestimated the psychology of the Iraqi people."

In WW2--we planned and trained for an entire year before our paratroopers were dropped
on the beaches of Normandy. Our guys knew where every berm was within 20 miles! In
Iraq--we "underestimated" "misunderestimated" so badly that we've incited a civil war.

What Rumsfeld has done in Iraq, is equivalent to us landing in Normandy--and fucking everything
up so badly and inciting so much anger that we start a civil war in France!

How DARE that evil piece of shit publicly stand in the shadow of WW2 and pretend that his
pathological failure even remotely resembles WW2.

9. hoping someone would ask him to be an extra?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

10. Because hanging out on a movie set is a cakewalk

and you hang out on the movie sets you have, not the ones you whish you had.
And you hang out on the movie sets you know, not the unknown movie sets...
