Greetings puny Earthlings.
I thought I'd take a moment to have another shot at analyzing the Leftist Mind. Today I'm looking at Hollywood and how everyone seems to making really dumb leftist statements lately.
Sally Field will no doubt be on The View this week complaining about being 'silenced' when Fox tried to bleep out her use of the word 'goddamn' in her Emmy acceptance speech/anti-Bush crank. And speaking of The View, Barry Manilow dropped out from appearing on the daily gab-fest, stating that he considers token Republican Elisabeth Hasselbeck's beliefs as 'dangerous.'
I call these acts "Leftism of Opportunity."
Now let me explain it in a way that even you Earthlings can understand.
Sally Field made her little speech because she has a show, (I didn't know she had a show on TV until Android CAI-7 told me that the Emmy wasn't for the Boniva ad) and she wants to keep that show on the air, even though it's not exactly a ratings juggernaut.
What's the best way to keep a show on the air despite ratings?
Hate Bush.
Now if ABC tries to cancel her, she can scream that she's being 'silenced' by the 'crypto-fascist Bushitler conspiracy.' And no mainstream media company, especially ABC/Disney, wants that, the CEOs may lose their invites to the next big illegal Hillary fundraiser.
Barry Manilow dropping out of appearing on The View because he's scared of the 'dangerous' blonde is also a calculated move. He's shilling an album called Hits of the 70s or something like that, which, coincidentally, was the last time anyone cared about anything Barry Manilow said or did.
Until now.
Attacking Hasselbeck has ensured that Barry will get praise from critics and MSM pundits more glowing than the sweat on his nose. He will use Hollywood's irrational, and suicidal, anti-Americanism to get as much publicity as possible, and ensure that he'll get lots of well paying gigs, no matter how well, or poorly, the album sells.
Brian DePalma's doing the exact same thing with Redacted, he's going from washed up, to heroic martyr, and even though he hasn't had a profitable film since Mission: Impossible, and probably won't ever again, he'll land loads of lucrative contracts.
Actress Reese Witherspoon is following in a grand tradition of winning an Oscar, dumping her husband, and immediately pimping herself out for another Oscar with Rendition. It's a film all about how evil Americans torture innocent people, and it is guaranteed to at least get her a nomination, if not a win.
The filmmakers didn't make Rendition or Redacted to make money, or, as they claim, end the evil imperialist war, instead, I believe that those films are just shamelessly opportunistic attempts to use Hollywood's Bush Derangement Syndrome for raking in money and accolades.
If you're a regular reader of this little feature, you will know that I believe that the Leftist use an overarching 'meta-narrative' (a fancy word for prejudice) to explain the world, and that the only thing they hold dear is getting power (be it through money or awards) and keeping it.
And there's nothing that illustrates that point than the inner working of Hollywood. So remember, there is no devilish an opportunist, than someone who claims to be an idealist.
So keep watching the skies, because we're watching you.
