The interview that would have killed Palin
Andrew Bolt
You think one or two of Sarah Palin’s interviews - or, in fact, just the snippets you were shown of them - prove she’s dumb?
Then check this interview with Stephane Dion, leader of Canada’s (Left-wing) Liberal Party, and see true dumb.

Thank heavens Hollywood doesn’t run the CIA
Andrew Bolt
Given that the US has not suffered a terrorist attack on its soil since 2001, you’d think the CIA and George Bush must actually be doing something right. And given that Hollywood’s constant attempts to portray America’s fight against terrorists as more dangerous and incompetent than the terrorists themselves all flop, you’d think Tinsel-Town’s Freedom Fighters would resolve never to made another Redacted, Rendition, Syriana , In the Valley of Elah, The Kingdom or Lions for Lambs.
But no. Here comes Body of Lies, with Russell Crowe and Leonardo diCaprio, preaching the same we’re-our-own-enemy same

Lesbian porn star wants name cleared
By Sean Fewster
A NEW South Wales woman, who made lesbian pornography with teenagers, will ask the High Court to clear her name so she can work with disadvantaged children.
Rebecca Jane Clarke will seek to have her conviction erased, based on a controversial ruling that sex offenders can be acquitted if they "honestly believe" their victims are more than the age of consent.
Clarke, 23, who stars in a pornographic DVD she made with two girls, both 14, will argue her name should not appear on the national sex-offender register.
If the High Court does not quash her conviction, she will be banned from working as a counsellor. - why should she be allowed to exploit more people? - ed.

Five Hollywood lies
Andrew Bolt
Writer Andrew Klavan sits through Oliver Stone’s W, a cinematic assassination of George W Bush, and concludes:
For the past 30 years or so, Hollywood storytelling has been guided by a liberal mythos in which, for example, blacklisting communist screenwriters during the ‘50s was somehow morally worse than fellow-traveling with the Stalinist murderers of tens of millions ("Trumbo"); Che Guevara was a dashing, romantic liberator instead of a charismatic killer ("The Motorcycle Diaries"); and the worldwide violence currently being waged by Islamo-fascists is either a figment of our bigoted imaginations or the product of our evil deeds ("V for Vendetta").
Hollywood moviemakers, in other words, have been telling lies -- loudly, constantly and almost always in support of a left-wing point of view. And these lies are most prolific and tenacious when the Hollywood left is lying about itself.
