Richard Dreyfuss Calls Out Bush, McCain and their “Corrupt” Republican Party
Richard Dreyfuss Calls Out Bush, McCain and their “Corrupt” Republican Party
By: Bill W. @ 3:30 PM - PDT

Richard Dreyfuss, appearing on MSNBC to discuss the new documentary he narrates, America Betrayed, on Hurricane Katrina, the worst man-made disaster in American history, seized the opportunity in front of a cheering crowd of onlookers to blast George W. Bush and the Republican party for all the damage they have inflicted upon this country over the last 8 years.

.............................

Dreyfuss: I don’t think the Europeans have any confidence in our government. I think that the last eight years has destroyed two hundred years of respect and dedication. And I think we have been the point of meaning and admiration in the world for very specific reasons, and George Bush trashed it.

O’Donnell: So, you don’t think that John McCain would be able to manage this government well, would have a different response than George Bush to a Hurricane Katrina?

Dreyfuss: I think the Republican party is corrupt through and through. And even the republicans like Buckley before he died said ‘we should lose this election, go into the wilderness, and get cleansed’, and I believe that’s true. I think that they have been in office too long. I think that they are too adept at thievery, at moving the Constitution into places it never meant to go. I think that they have an extraordinary ability to divide rather than unite. And I think that I’m tired of being called a traitor, because I like my flag and I support the troops.

I LOVE Richard Dreyfuss! He's getting old, but he's still yummy. And his heart and brain are in the correct places.

5. I'm having a hard time with this. I keep thinking about Dreyfuss when he was a repug
running against Andrew Shepard.

He played that part so well.

Edited on Thu Aug-28-08 06:39 PM by goodgd_yall
how he whined about the women's movement. He acted like a real putz. And this was REAL life.

Has he changed?
