DeVito

BPSCG said:
Fox and Friends First Edition (their version of 6:00 am fluffnews) the next day said they'd had him on the morning of the day he was on The View, and ran a clip of him being interviewed. He appeared sharp and focused - not at all like the gibbering, foul-mouthed buffoon on The View. The Fox people were wondering how he could have spent the night getting drunk with George Clooney, been sober at 6:00 am, then drunk all over again later that morning.

I smell payola. Desperate housewives all over America are probably racing to liquor stores to empty the shelves of Limoncello as we speak.

Before crashing in my bed in drunken stupor I've been able to sober up and drive home....oh wait, strike that last part from the record.

Limoncello, the liqueur cum intoxicant in question, can sneak up on you. It is easy to quaffe seven limoncellos, as Mr DeVito reports he did, when you are engrossed in convivial conversation with a comrade. As a digestivo, limoncello surpasses Amaretto, Zambucco, and Gran Marnier. It is so easy to sip, and so easy to keep refilling, when served in an iced cordial glass.

Eh. The stuff is far too sugary for me. I'd get sick before I got anywhere near being drunk. Anything too sweet tends to be very self-limiting for me.

And for generally sticky-sweet drinks, I prefer Barenjager anyway. For a digestif, you cannot beat absinthe (real absinthe, not the Czech and Spanish pseudo-absinthe garbage), green Chartreuse, or good ouzo (very hard to find in the US). Anise and fennel are by far the better digestifs than anything else I've found.

All of a sudden, you start to see Flying Farfalla Monsters everywhere. ;)

Ah, but as a digestiv/e Fernet-Branca beats them all - and its' taste makes it very difficult to drink enough to get way out! Really good for overstuffed/queasy/disturbed stomachs - reportedly in common use in the past by French waiters/staff with little time to eat properly (reporter thereof was M.F.K. Fisher and,as it was not about particular aspects of her love life, I trust her on it)!!

That's a good look for him, he's funnier that way.
I enjoyed him in 'Mars Attacks' though.
 
If you took all the comments from the Hollywood crowd, and combined them with the statements from the music crowd, You'd have a dictionary of idiocy.

I think Heinlein summed it up well years ago:

The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance.

Most of the Limoncello I have had in the US is a bit more sugary than what I had in Italy, a lot of which was locally produced, rather than the export brands. That might account for my positive experiences.

Tastes differ.

Mark your calendar, I find myself agreeing with Claus: getting drunk on Limoncello? What's up with that?

The United States as a whole, perhaps, but we here on the jref forum are not suckered in.;)

Funny thing is, DeVito had been on FoxNews earlier in the day, and appeared utterly sober. :confused:

Did you see him on FoxNews, or are you just going on what Bill'O told you to think? I have to ask the question because he does not appear utterly sober on this video.

Man, first the AP, and now I find out that you are full of it too (though the jury is out on the AP).

Gwyneth Paltrow agrees.

According to Portuguese daily newspaper, Diario de Noticias, the 34-year-old actress said: "I love the English lifestyle, it's not as capitalistic as America.

"People don't talk about work and money, they talk about interesting things at dinner.

"I like living here because I don't fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilised than the Americans."

No, wait. She doesn't:

However, Paltrow has denied the ever making the comments, telling People magazine she gave a press conference in Spanish to reporters and had been misquoted.

"I felt so upset to be completely misconstrued and I never, ever would have said that," the Oscar-winner told People.

"I definitely did not say that I think the British are more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I am a New York girl, that's how I always think of myself and see myself."

The mother of two went on to explain: "This is what I said. I said that Europe is a much older culture and there's a difference. I always say in America, people live to work and in Europe, people work to live. There are positives in both.

"Obviously I need to go back to seventh-grade Spanish!"

The incident is not the first time Paltrow has landed herself in hot water over unpatriotic comments.

In 2004, she came under fire from the British public after complaining at length to US magazine Marie Claire about London's dirty streets, terrible customer service and depressing weather.

We are still confused. But, on a higher level.

However, the Twin Kings of Right-Wing Blabberheads, Hannity & Colmes, were quick on the trigger:

Hannity acknowledged that Paltrow told People that she had been misquoted and claimed to have never said anything against the US. “I felt so upset to be completely misconstrued and I never, ever would have said that,” Paltrow reportedly said.

“I suspect that she said it,” Hannity said, as though it made a difference. The "fair and balanced" banner on the screen read, "GOOD GRIEF, GWYNETH."

Their guest, Greg Gutfeld, had this to say:

Gutfeld admitted, “I was using hyperbole there,” but, he said, “I will say this. I think whenever somebody, a celebrity who is abroad, says something bad about America, whenever they need to go back to America, they should actually re-apply for a visa. We could call it the famous idiot visa.” Gutfeld paused, evidently so that the audience could admire his cleverness. But, in fact, his “suggestion” was not just ludicrous – no American applies, much less re-applies, for a visa into the US – it was downright menacing to suggest that an American should be barred from this country because of “bad” remarks.

Why is it that right-wingers are only unintentionally funny?

Absolutely! Here at JREF, we recognize the people of REAL importance.

Strangers with fervent political opinions. :rolleyes:

Gwynneth is a broad, as is Natalie Main. I think this rule makes a certain sense, but is sexist. :p

California thinks actors are very important. Elected Ronald Reagan governor and the Terminator. Clint Eastwood was evan elected as mayor of some town he lived in.

Was Jerry Springer an elected mayor?
