Bad Fella: James Gandolfini
Speaking Monday night from the National Museum of American History for the Washington premiere of the HBO documentary “Baghdad ER,” James Gandolfini said President Bush should “reinstate the draft, send 500,000 troops and finish it.” (Source: The Hill)
QD was not going to post on politics today.
She was going to keep it strictly about entertainment/tv.
And then she read this ...
An ugly alliance of celebrity hubris and testosterone fueled patriotism.
All in an effort to sell a film.
Now we have looked the other way at the Soprano's ... we watched it season one but it was too violent and too creepy so we stopped. But we didn't bash the show. Not even when so many of its crew were arrested for forgetting to stop acting like thugs in their real lives. We read about it in Page Six but did not jump off and start spouting that the show was an insult to law abiding Italian Americans and was glorifying violence and crime.
Why? Because we have always had a great deal of respect for Gandolfini as an actor.
Until today.
When James Gandolfini advocated drafting innocent children to fight an illegal war in order to promote his own movie...we lost all respect for him as an actor and a human being.
Shame on you James. Shame. Shame. Shame.

Well, you can sort of see his point: if you want to have a war - especially if you are going to start it - fight to win: hammer the other side until they surrender, as quickly as possible. Otherwise, don't have a war.
I'd like to tell "anonymous" to go and read some fucking books.
Many thanks
