Sometimes, some blondes really can be dumb

Yes, it pains me to say it, but sometimes blondes – usually the Hollywood variety – can be really, really dumb. Sharon Stone is yet the latest in a long line of Hollyweirdos (like the troop-hating director Brian de Palma) who are seeking “the truth” about the Iraq war:

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) – Sharon Stone believes the Sept. 11 attacks should not have been used as a pretext for the United States to launch wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to her comments published Monday in a pan-Arab newspaper.

In her interview with Al Hayat, the actress also bemoaned what she called Americans’ decision to ignore the deaths of so many Iraqis.

“I feel at great pain when the spotlight is on the death of 4,000 American soldiers, while 600,000 Iraqi deaths are ignored,” she said. “War is not a movie, it is a tragedy of dead bodies, victims, the disabled, orphans, widows and the displaced.”

Stone spoke in English and her comments were translated and published in Arabic. An English transcript of the interview was not available.

Al Hayat published excerpts of the interview from December, when Stone attended the fourth Dubai International Film Festival in the United Arab Emirates. The paper’s sister publication, Leha, is to publish the entire interview Wednesday.

Stone came to the region seeking answers for herself because, she said, the U.S. media has failed to provide Americans with the truth.

“I feel sad when I realize how much truth is being changed or obscured in the American media,” she said.

Stupid witch. Guess who’s thanking useful idiots like Sharon Stone tonight? The same animals who would either stone and/or behead her for some of the filth she’s starred in, including the movie in which she’s become infamous for quite literally baring all.

First, she flashes her unmentionables. Then, she flashes her extreme ignorance. I’m not sure which is worse.

Now is as good a time as any for another round of “Caption This”:

Not pictured: Her brain.

Although the airline lost the bag that contained most of her wardrobe, and her sunglasses, actress Sharon Stone sets forth on her fact-finding tour in a patched-together outfit.

That’s Sharon Stone? I didn’t recognize her with her legs together.

Are the lunatics making progress if they at least get the casualty figures somewhat correct instead of that 1 million plus bull?

She’s still quoting that discredited Lancett study with that 600,000 plus number. Typical leftist, never question or look closely at a piece of information if it fits your preconceptions.

Well, Sharon, it’s not all bad, if there are 600k fewer people, that’s just less CO2 to drive global warming, as I’m sure that if you believe that 600k number you believe the AGW BS.

So, silver lining eh?

She doesn’t think the American media is telling the truth about Iraq?

It took her that long to figure that out?

Unfortunately she decides to go off the deep end and quote from the debunked Lancet study. I guess that debunking was also something she didn’t believe.

Ok, granted, I respect her right not to believe the American media, we have seen thier bias and skewed reporting that goes to thier agendas…but, to be another useful idiot that goes out of country and gives rediculous interviews to Arab news agencies just gives a whole new level of stupidity on her part.

Someone should put together a book of Useful Idiots.

As for captioning….

USA denies it is exporting white trailer trash to influence Middle Eastern values.

Actually, sanity, Mona Charon wrote a book entitled Useful Idiots. Stone came along too late to make the final cut, thought.

Astounding, absolutely astounding that people will think they can make common cause with those who will enslave, brutalize, or murder them. Meanwhile, of course, Republicans in the US are not even human. She reminds me of those morons who form Gay and Lesbian groups in solidarity with the Palestinians.

Well, Stone is probably proud to be a charter member of Women for Sharia. I still wouldn’t expect to see Basic Instinct shown in Riyadh or Tehran.

I saw this quote in the paper the other day, the newspaper was only too happy to print it. Stone is a washed up, over the hill, BAD actress and she does whatever any Hollywood moron does when they need attention: bash the President or the Iraq war. Instant headlines.
