"I said the President was my longtime friend and then he said, 'Your friend is an a--hole,'" he continued. "At that point I told Steve that HE was an a--hole and I wasn't going to sit at his table while he was being such a jacka--. And I walked out."

Steve Wynn *IS* a jackass - an aged jackass with frizzy, excessively-dyed corrosion-colored hair and a doofus fake-tooth smile, who thinks only of money and acquisition.
However, I do love George Clooney. That man has got it all, heart, soul, intelligence, and beauty.

(18,101 posts)It's just a fact. It's now part of our history. People remember good things, bad things, and especially ugly things. One person is responsible for that ugly comment. Many people called him on it and he responded by doubling down. If you want to forget about it, that's fine, but many of us will always associate those comments with that user name. Threads like this will always trigger that association for some of us.

(7,099 posts)He also responded by apologizing. You're acting like a message board thread was a life-long trauma and those hunting for any excuse to continue hounding Pitt are somehow victims. It's a bit much.

If you talk to people who used to work for him in the 80's early 90's They tell stories of how good he treated his employees. But at some point in the mid late 90's he seems to have taken a turn to the self absorbed prick he is today.

This election is really important. I believe they think the poor effect of their spending in 2012 compared to previous elections for years previously was only a blip if noticed besides realizing the day after the last election Sheldon Adelson woke up and said, "I spent HOW much and pretty much got bupkis?!?!"

Steve Wynn's wife must use the same plastic surgeon. She's also beginning to get that stretched skin/fake cheek implant look from the movie Brazil, and (like him) her porcelain-stainless steel teeth have been fired at such a high temperature that their whiteness is visible from the next county over. lol

Maybe that doesn't mean much. Nobody knows who I am, either. If one of my friends or acquaintances had called the President names, I may have reacted like Clooney did. At the very least, I would have defended the President.

(24,979 posts)That's about the most interesting thing in this story about how two rich people had an argument about the merits of a politician. I'm sure it's very important and totally newsworthy, their argument at some drinking party, because they're rich and also celebrities. But jacka--? Would that have merited the faux-censorship even a hundred years ago? Not that it matters very much - Daily News and all, a rag exceeded as pure shit only by its sister tabloid in the same city, but really?!
Sarah Ibarruri
(21,043 posts)I guess it's a matter of politeness with tabloids, rags, TV, movies, and on DU when people use asterisks and so on. It's not that people are such goody-two-shoes. I'm not. It's that you don't want people to pass out from the expletives (if they're that delicate), though why someone would be swooning if someone is dropping the F bomb, is beyond me.
However, about the Daily News, yup, it's shit, no doubt, but it does have real news compared with The Star and The Enquirer, which have real news about 1% of the time or less, or if ever. Sure, The Daily News is rude, but that's the way it's always been.
On the other hand, there's the respected and respectable NY Times, which will print any lies but never gets a bad rap, as they did during the Iraq War for over a year, printing BS and unconfirmed lies which the public believed because, HEY, The respectable New York Times wouldn't lie for over a year WOULD IT? And people still think of The New York Times as respectable!
So there. Whom are you going to believe?

Like the chicken tendons and ligaments on Madonna's 5-hour-exercise-per-day arms, and Melanie Griffith's sadly deformed face. SUCH beautiful women who instead of growing beautifully older, instead transform themselves into ugly clowns by desperately seeking the Fountain of Youth.
And for this they pay hundreds of thousands and more!!!!
