1. Isn't he the "gerbil guy'?

Maybe that is a good qualification to bush.........

[devilgrrl]

2. No. Actually he isn't.

5. Recently Gere blamed Sylvester Stallone for that rumor

3. I'm certain Richard's politics and **'s collide

Also am surprised Gere wouldn't have been aware of that perspective in the Indian culture. He's a pretty sensitive guy. :shrug:

7. and a Budhist! Been speaking against Bush lately - his last movie deals with

Watergate and he outlined the similarities. Not a bad guy, for sure.

4. He blew it - but me thinks there's an overreaction too...Bill Richardson was telling

of a time he made a gaffe with Saddam (showing the soles of his shoes). Bad guy Saddam was able to get over it and conclude the agreement...I think while gere should apologize, they should also allow for the fact that it's a national tradition, not known by everyone.

6. Oh, good grief.

People all over this planet need to get a fucking GRIP.

8. that whole

thing about not touching "our women" creeped me the fuck out.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. Agreed. If she wants to be pissed about if, fine then.

But fundamentalist, uptight whackjobs seem to be a problem all over- not just in this country.

9. I agree with you....

I think it was a ridiculous reaction.

11. Gere represents America! He is the Ambassador of Terrible Acting

Like Bollywood on crack. India feeling a little tension is it? Keep your hands off our women, Dick! At least it ain't Cheney, searching for a new country to invade.

12. "Culture Czar"? Is there a "war on Culture"?

Like the "war czar", or "drug czar"?

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Quick, hide your wallet.

Somehow I think this is going to be another excuse to funnel tax money to Tim LaHaye and those singing computer animated Jesus Vegetables.
