Tim Robbins - I heard

Tim Robbins - I heard bits and pieces of Tim Robbins' address to the National Press club yesterday.

Now, unlike a lot of conservatives and bloggers, I'll admit it; I've liked a few of Robbins' roles (and even a few of Susan Sarandon's). Bull Durham was a great movie. When you love the art and ignore the artist, then art and movies and music and books are a whole lot more rewarding.

But yeah, I detest Robbins and Sarandon's politics - that should be no surprise.

And listening to his appearance at the National Press Club yesterday, I was struck by an insatiable desire to fisk what he said.

How he said it was bad enough - in a clipped monotone that sounded like he was reading handwriting he couldn't quite make out.

But reading the text of the speech today - it's just too depressing. The same old stuff, over and over; the same anti-Bush cant, the same strawmen, the same unsupported assertions, the same crap. I can't go through with it.

Gaaaa. Maybe tomorrow.
