1. i have always heard stone has a very high iq. and maybe talking that way

was her like simplification and talking down and basic to people cause so often things seem to go over their head...

anyway, dont know or car what this is about. thought i would just share info about her iq

[ihavenobias]

2. It's about her (questionable at best) comments regarding the recent devastating earthquake in China

A high IQ may count for something, but it's clearly not the end all.

3. She would have been perfect to portray...

Valerie Plame, but, now I doubt if she will get any offers to do so.

4. You are probably right!

6. Frustratingly stupid.

Her comments have been overblown. She seems to be saying that she had a knee-jerk reaction to a situation but learned that the people whom she admired felt differently and that it becomes a learning experience to her.

People who are being so critical of her seem unable to actually understand anything.

7. u right gargoyle

me no understand nuthing.

;)

8. Hyperbole aside...

She is basically saying that this is a humbling learning experience for her. That people are hypercritical of her and saying that she made a ghastly mistake with what she said seem not to be listening to her and just doing some ridiculous mind reading; hence: They don't understand anything, they are just making stuff up.

[ihavenobias]

9. Maybe

You may well be right. Of course it's just as likely that you may well be wrong and that her critics are right.

Or the truth might be somewhere in between.

At any rate, it was a mildly entertaining and relatively unimportant story. I tell you what though, I'm more than willing to accept her fame and fortune even if it means I would receive some occasional (possibly unfounded) criticism.

[graegoyle]

10. Really?

You may well be right. Of course it's just as likely that you may well be wrong and that her critics are right.

Or the truth might be somewhere in between.

There's an easy way to figure it out for yourself: Listen to everything that she said (try to ignore Cenk's significantly-less-than-witty utterances). What she says is, not oddly, quite different than the way Cenk (and just about everyone else who has commented on it) has characterized it.

At any rate, it was a mildly entertaining and relatively unimportant story.

Relatively unimportant, until you add in that Cenk is lambasting a "Hollywood liberal" the exact same way that the non-thinkers do: Without actually listening to what she has said and giving his own completely inaccurate view of what she said.

Again: She is saying that she made a knee-jerk, judgemental error and took it as a learning experience; Cenk and others have demonized her, even though they (apparently) did not even listen to her.

I can see that and I don't even like her.

12. I've gotta be honest

This topic is simply not that important to me, certainly not enough to put forth the effort that you're putting into it.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the clip, but I wouldn't judge Cenk on one stupid entertainment clip from the post game show. Of course his "hollywood liberal" remark wasn't that this is a typical "hollywood liberal", but rather than stupid remarks from actors are used by the "non-thinkers" to bash "liberal hollywood".

And please, I beg you, save any further comment for some more interesting (and relevant) political clips. If you do I'll be much more inclined and interested to comment.

[graegoyle]

13. Literally, remarkably stupid.

I am bored. The comments were so stupid and apparently enjoyed by some people so I felt like commenting on it. I have put forth very, very little effort in this. I care little if now you find it uninteresting. I found it disturbing.

For the fourth time: This was not a stupid comment on her part; it was actually a self-effacing admission on her part of her own short-coming and it seems that no one is capable of seeing that; apparently even herself, now that it seems she has made some kind of public apology for criticizing herself.

And, again, Cenk is doing exactly what the non-thinkers do and is criticizing and re-inforcing the negative perception of "Hollywood liberals" wrongly. If she had said what others are attributing to her, I would be in support of the criticism. However, that is not what she said and they even provided the refuting proof. Saying that this is post-broadcast is a poor excuse for being wrong.

11. she's drunk

14. All she needed to say was "It's a tragedy. They're in my prayers."
