Woody Harrelson who played the dim baretender on cheers, is now showing his true colors by claiming the war on terror is "bullshit".  Oh well he has a right to believe whatever he wants.

Good ol' Woody is entitled to his opinion and it might be considered brave to announce it (but it could also be a publicity stunt).
I think he's doing more of a service to democracy than some of the 'free' press will give him credit for.

Quoting:He also had nothing but praise for the Daily Mirror.

"I have one thing to say about the Mirror - it's amazing," he said. "The paper's stance on the war against terrorism is just right. It's so bold.End Quote



...after reading the above bit from the article, I started to doubt its veracity: the Mirror (under Piers Morgan, a subject in my work-in-progress parody "The Profit Song") has had a tendency to print whatever it likes, and has made up plenty of quotes in the past.  I can't help wondering what Woody *did* say

Yah it does seem like a self promotion ad for the paper, kind of like woody agrees with us, so you should too.  I am unclear on the credibility of the source, so if it's not true I apologise.  I got the link from another credible US news site.

Looks like Woody is George's new "playful poodle". Can anyone say "the pot calling the kettle black"? ;)

The Mirror used to be a first-rate investigative paper (say, 20 or 30 years ago); when the Sun started running sexy trivia and stealing the Mirror's market share, the Mirror too went downmarket like a rabbit down a hole and now its a rag as bad (or worse) than any of the others.  The story probably was printed in a UK national newspaper, for whatever credibility that gives it...
