Whatchu talkin’ ’bout Willis?

Let’s just say I love Bruce Willis. The man known for is impressive work in “Die Hard”, “Die Hard: With a Vengeance”, “Tears of the Sun”, and my favorite “Blind Date” with Kim Basinger. Unfortunately, I have not been able to enjoy such movies upon hearing that Bruce was a Republican. Now, that’s somewhat of an extremist statement, allow me to elaborate. Anyone who believes that George Bush is a) intelligent, b) on the right track, and/or c) knows what he’s doing, instantly loses all credibility in my eyes. If you are a Bush fan, I need not explain, I won’t mess with Texas, and God Bless America y’all, you needn’t read on.
     If you agree that, at least some of the Bush agenda is misguided, you can understand why I was disappointed to see Willis go the way of the right wing. Bruce Willis is a bad ass guy, he always comes through to save the day on screen, and as a celebrity he seems pretty down-to-earth as well. Need an example? The man is friendly with a 28 year-old sex symbol actor, Ashton Kutcher, who lives with Bruce’s ex-wife and kids.
Anyway, my faith in Willis was restored by a quote recorded at a press conference for his new movie “16 Blocks”. Willis lost his cool when reporters questioned his political stance. Willis spouted : “I’m sick of answering this [expletive] question, I’m a Republican only as far as I want a smaller government, I want less government intrusion. I want them to stop [expletive] on my money and your money and tax dollars that we give 50 percent of… every year. I want them to be fiscally responsible and I want these [expletive] lobbyists out of Washington. Do that and I’ll say I’m a Republican… I hate the government, OK? I’m a-political. Write that down. I’m not a Republican.”
THANK YOU BRUCE! Anytime a celebrity lets his/her hair down and the truth flows, my hat is off to them. Spewing expletives might not be the best thing for publicity, but I doubt fans mind. Afterall, one of Bruce’s most famous lines is “Yippee Kay-yay Motherf*cker”.
Willis was not done ranting however, and even attacked America’s beloved Oprah, which may have been a bad career move. Willis criticized Oprah for chastizing author James Frey for “lying” in his bestseller “A Million Little Pieces”.
“Oprah, you had President Clinton on your show, and if this [expletive] didn’t lie about a couple of things, I’m going to set myself on fire right now. James Frey’s a writer, he can write whatever he wants. It’s shameful how he was treated.”
Willis’s passion is fabulous, screw political-correctness. Bruce is fed up with how superficial and petty the entertainment world has become. Taking on Oprah, though? Best of luck Bruce.
