Samuel L. Jackson putdown

UPDATE AT 11:03 P.M. ET: More brilliance from Hollywood, via NewsBusters: Samuel L. Jackson came on Tuesday's edition of "Live With Regis and Kelly" to promote his latest movie, Lakeview Terrace, but couldn't resist getting in a plug for Barack Obama. The Pulp Fiction star told Regis Philbin that when he was at the Deauville Film Festival in France, nobody really wanted to talk showbiz, instead the festival goers asked him about the upcoming election: "They're all hoping that we come into the world community by electing, you know, Barack they say. So we hope so."

COMMENT: Memo to Samuel L. Jackson: If the United States wasn't already in the "world community," those Frenchmen you spoke with in France would be speaking German.



I wish I had said that.

  3. Is it unpatriotic to be concerned with America's good name being tarnished by the blunders and mistakes of the current Adminstration?

    Him being such a "my country" type and all.

    After the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Jackson attended the funeral in Atlanta as one of the ushers.

    Yeah, doesn't sound like your kind of guy.

    I'd be sure to give this guy some money.

    In motion pictures that feature him as a leading actor or supporting co-star, his films have grossed a total of $2.31[23] to $4.34 billion[24] at the North American box office, placing him as the ninth (as strictly lead) or the second highest-grossing movie star (counting supporting roles) of all time; behind only that of voice actor, Frank Welker. In August 2007, Jackson stated in an interview that director George Lucas wanted Jackson to play a small role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull so that he could keep his box office position over Harrison Ford.[25]

    Sounds like he'll starve if you don't buy a ticket to the movie.

  4. Hmmmmm... Now tell me what his being an usher at MLK's funeral has anything to do with him making dumb ass comments to a bunch of Frenchies who are busy giving their country up to the Moslem radicals we are fighting???
