"Oliver Stone Arrested on Drug Suspicion"

[GreenPartyVoter]

EVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone was arrested on suspicion of drug possession and driving while intoxicated, police said Saturday.

Stone, 58, was arrested Friday night at a police checkpoint on Sunset Boulevard after showing signs of alcohol intoxication, police Sgt. John Edmundson said. A search of his Mercedes turned up drugs, Edmundson said. He did not specify what kind, but Lt. Micaela Garland said police confiscated pills that were being analyzed at a lab.

Stone was released Saturday morning after posting $15,000 bail.

A message left Saturday with Stone's agent David Styne was not immediately returned.

1. one of the most entertaining things I have ever seen

had to be a documentary abot the making of "Natural Born Killers". There was not one person on that set that could have passed a drug test.

3. He's One of the Good Guys

When the story first popped up I was going to start a thread with the slant that "they" are coming for him, then us.

But I'm sure he doesn't want pity and lack of personal responsibility. Apparently he was charged with the same thing before, like in 1999 and was ordered into rehab.

That said, he has more creativity and sensibility and awareness than ANY uncharged wingnut.

Hang in there, Oliver. Hear-hear for Midnight Express, Platoon, JFK, The Doors, 5th of July, Alexander, and all the rest. Peace be to this house.

4. I Don't buy it. And even so... "he's only human!" Still...

is it any wonder, the way the non-liberal, talking-head-fake newsbrats will try anything right now to discredit anyone from Hollywood whom might be aiding the push for Democracy and Truth!

Don't buy it.
