James Woods has a reputation for being one smart cookie, and on a recent Salon.com interview about his upcoming movie Northfork he insists that he doesn’t want to talk politics before going on to great lengths precisely about them.
What’s really interesting about the article is how he manages to reconcile his apparently liberal view of things with arguments about defending the invasion of Iraq because somebody had to be punished to make the public feel better, or how he blasts on Clinton about lying about his affair but somehow managed to avoid George W. Bush’s lying about Iraq and their massive stockpiles of WMDs. In the process, he makes some pretty good comments about if Bush is an idiot or not (a dangerous assumption considering that, as Woods says, he’s the President and we’re not), and also about the positive effects that the policy has had. Perk: the interviewer gets chewed up about not getting her facts straight before going on an interview.
Hey, never say I just rant about one side of the issue.
