A lot of people have requested a list of which Hollywood airheads are at the Democrat convention this week. Apparently these readers plan to snub the celebs' movies, TV shows and music.
"In a speech that went on so long that California Democratic Party Chairman Art Torres began to hover nervously at his side, Dreyfuss called Bush 'arrogant and incompetent' and said 'his appeal to patriotism is simplistic and thuggish,'" the San Jose Mercury News reported.
Dreyfuss raged: "He is the enemy of thoughtfulness. I wasn't raised in George Bush's America, and I wouldn't be comfortable in it. "In this America, you point toward a sin and you are pointed at. You are the irritant, not the gatekeeper. You smell funny - sinister funny. Terrorist-friendly. You mention due process, and the silence is not respectful, it is ominous."

War talk in Washington is alarming and unnecessary.
We are patriotic Americans who share the belief that Saddam Hussein cannot be allowe d to possess weapons of mass destruction. We support rigorous United Nations we a p o n s inspections to assure Ir aq’s effective disarmament.
Howe ve r, a pre e m p t i ve military invasion of Iraq will harm American national intere s t s . Such a war will increase human suffering, arouse animosity tow a rd our country, incre a s e the likelihood of terrorist attacks, damage the economy, and undermine our moral standing in the world. It will make us less, not more, secure .
We reject the doctrine—a re versal of long-held American tradition—that our country, alone, has the right to launch first-strike attacks.
The valid U.S. and U.N. objective of disarming Saddam Hussein can be achieved thro u g h legal diplomatic means. T h e re is no need for war. Let us instead devote our re s o u rces to i m p roving the security and well-being of people here at home and around the world.
