Monday Funny: California Edition
This cracks me up (aside from the Potemkin Village tactics):
SAN DIEGO — In a celebrity standoff, actor Warren Beatty and his wife, Annette Bening, tried to crash Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's campaign rally at an airplane hangar here and were barred from going inside after a confrontation with the governor's aides.
The appearance by the movie-star couple upstaged the beginning of the governor's four-city campaign bus tour, as Beatty publicly argued with aides who refused to let him inside to watch the governor speak. (. . .)
Holding his wife's hand, Beatty chuckled as various radio hosts and Republican speakers who preceded the governor onstage insulted his acting skills.
" 'Dick Tracy' was a terrible movie," said radio talk-show host Roger Hedgecock. "Just terrible…. That was celluloid abuse."
When it was his turn to speak, the governor did not mention the spectacle, which had drawn the attention of TV cameras and even the hundreds of Schwarzenegger supporters who had turned out for the rally. Organizers closed the hangar at one point, making it more difficult for the crowd to see Beatty.
Hey, I thought Dick Tracy sucked, too, but bad cinema buffs might recall that the star of the rally, who Hedgecock supports, made his own movie debut in a cinematic gem called "Hercules Goes Bananas."
