James Gandolfini on the GOP

"From 30th Street and 8th Avenue in Manhattan streaming downtown, tens of thousands of union members joined a huge AFL-CIO Labor Day rally against George W. Bush. Featured were all the labor speakers you'd expect, including AFL-CIO head John Sweeney. A minister read the passage from Exodus about the burning bush, inspiring the crowd to chant: "Put Bush out."
Then James Gandolfini came before the crowd and spoke briefly and pithily. "I can't tell you how mad I am these people are in my city," the actor who plays Tony Soprano bellowed, pointing backward at Madison Square Garden. "I can't tell you how mad I am it took Bush four days to get here after 9/11." And the crowd of New Yorkers -- sheet metal workers, transportation workers, teachers -- erupted. "

He's just the coolest.

Cool. And smart. And sexy. I simply love this man.

changed ... too much stress for a puppet

I think I'm in love with that woman.

...he's be sending Michael Imperioli out for bleach and trash bags.



:evilgrin:

The guy who played him was bitching about the RNC the other day. Can't remember what was said, though.

On the other hand, Paulie is aa Repug. Too bad, I like him.

His "O'Franken Factor" clip can be found on the Air America site:

His series The Handler was terrific and inventive...so of course it got cancelled...

I didn't know that.

From Australia or New Zealand (can't remember which).

With the skies shut down.

he was giving a speech in Australia on 9/11 and rushed back....as I recall Chelsea and Hillary were already there....

One of the cable news networks interviewed him on the air, and the White House complained that he shouldn't be given air time.

and rode down to the towers to see what he could do.

I think that tells you a little something about him and why he's pissed that it took Bush 4 days to arrive.

Speaking of "The Sopranos".

He didn't tell anyone who he was. Didn't gloat about it. Kept a very low profile. He dug in and helped in recovery and cleanu efforts in the days following 9/11. Someone recognized him and told a newspaper writer. Otherwise, nobody would have known.

:thumbsup:

And, take along Paulie and Christopher to deal with Dick "Chickenhawk" Cheney, Donny "The Enforcer" Rumsfeld, and "Preacher" John Ashcroft.

Talk to them about turf in language they understand.
