Today, we are able to induct four new members to our Star Whores Hall of Shame: Alec Baldwin, Meryl Streep, Gary Busey and Billy Zane.
Now these folks are not new to the “dark side” of political opinion. They all have issues and a consistent record of moonbat rhetoric. Some of them even have problems staying on the right side of the law.
Alec Baldwin, actor and abusive husband/father, can’t seem to keep his temper under control (remember his bitter divorce from Kim Basinger? The incident with the photographer?). He recently called the 20 Democrats who voted for cloture in the Samuel Alito confirmation “a number of chickensh*t Democrats.” Baldwin has always been outspoken on political issues, but he uses lies and vitriolic rhetoric in his discourse, seldom with any valid arguments. Welcome to the Hall of Shame, Mr. Baldwin.
Meryl Streep, a very talented actress, falls into the “shut up and act” category of the Hall of Shame. On occasion she will render opinion to the media about political matters (sort of like Tourette’s Syndrome). Her recent remarks about Justice Alito’s confirmation: “I’m so demoralized.” You should check with your doctor, Ms. Streep, and see if you need your change-of-life medication re-prescribed. While you’re at it, you might want to ask about the psychological effects of all those Botox injections. Oh, and welcome to the “Shut up and Sing-or-Dance-or-Act” section of the Hall.
Gary Busey, who has been at the edge of the law for many years now (Remember the DUI? The motorcycle crash?), has steadily accepted the actual lifestyle of the roles he played as a degenerate criminal type (one exception is his role in the “Buddy Holly Story”). Continuing the downward spiral of his career, in the Turkish-made film “Valley of the Wolves – Iraq,” Gary Busey appears as a Jewish-American doctor who carries out organ transplants on unwitting Iraqi casualties, sending the organs off to Israel and the United States. For your role, Mr. Busey, in fabricating the falsehoods about the US for a foreign country’s terrorist interest propaganda, you have been selected for induction into the anti-American Asshole wing of our little Hall of Shame.
Billy Zane always seems to play the on-screen role of a son-of-a-bitch; I think it comes naturally to him. He is co-staring with Busey in the Turkish film, which earns him an induction into the “Son of a Bitch” wing of the Hall. Paraphrasing General Patton: “Welcome aboard from one S.O.B to another”

Starting from a comparison with Midnight epress which was an American film portraying Turks as everything the worse including . I think you are not fair to the movie and he actors in terms of portrayal of Americans.
Gary Busy and Billy Zane are at least decent looking and look much better than the Turks portrayed in “Midnight portrayed in midnight express” by some Greek, Armenian, Italian etc. actors who were fat and ugly. Would you have prefered some Fat pervert Russian actor to portray Americans?
Actually, it is not important who plays what roles nor how good they look. It is the portrayal of Americans terrorizing innocent Iraqis and harvesting their organs. The theme is sickening, especially in light of the truth. American Armed Forces may have a few bad apples in their midst, but they are in Iraq for the greater good of that Nation, the region, and our National interests, and they prove it daily. You should read some of the MilBlogs for their perspective on things there and elsewhere. CENTCOM is also a good resource for reports on the military’s actual activities in the region.
Sorry, I never saw “Midnight Express” and can’t comment on portrayal of Turks, but if you are going to worry about cosmetics and not the film’s ridiculous message then you missed my point.
