Rove Accuses Tom Hanks Of Drinking, Smoking, Hollywood Liberal, Eating

Okay, at this point you have to start wondering if Tom Hanks is looking for a fight. We could give him the whole Fox News in Italy thing as a one-off joke, and it even seemed like Bill O’Reilly was picking on the actor/director for personal reasons. But then Hanks had to go off on Karl Rove and his new book? Well, what did you expect to happen on The O’Reilly Factor tonight?




You notice how O’Reilly and Rove always preface their slams by noting how good of an actor/director Tom Hanks is? Maybe next time Hanks wants to go on an anti-Fox tear, he should return the courtesy. Just so he doesn’t look like he’s smoking too much of his liberal Hollywood dope (with Sean Penn) to remember that it’s best to sandwich your criticism in-between compliments.

  “sandwich your criticism in-between compliments. ”
  Shows no malice intended.

  Being criticized by limousine liberals gives you lots of credence with flyover country.

  I knew the Fox Machine would go after him hard due to his mass popularity when he took a few shots. Keep it up, Tom, everyone else is scared of Ailes but you’re out of his league and he knows it.

  Propagandists like O’Reilly and Rove have no choice but to respond, much to their chagrin.

  Hey Drew,
  In your headline you forgot to add farting and picking his nose.

  “Okay, at this point you have to start wondering” why is MediaMatters spending so much time on this BS?
  Oh right, as the unofficial watchdog of Fox, it’s your job.

  Ever since Tom appeared with a jack ass in Bachelor Party he’s had a fondness for Democrats.

  Jim R,
  Tom reminds me alot of you. He does drive by insults, then won’t answer for it.

• The Real Royal King

  Of all the terrible things FOX has done to America and Americans, keeping Rove on life support is, without any question, the worst. Why not just let this man, who has nothing to offer but bitterness and “snarkiness”, envy and regret, trail off into well-deserved obscurity and irrelevance?

  Oh that Rove! He keeps things interesting, right? For more smart political talk, please join the gang (The Real Royal King, Heckman, John Tee, Same2u) at the place for smart political talk http://rangerbobfriends.blogspot.com/

  Truth in advertising, Patsy…

  If you are going to link to Ranger Bob’s, you certainly should warn people that it’s nothing but obsessively yearning talk about Johnny Dollar’s Place, foul language, moronic reasoning, and allusions of your political contrarians as being cows and pigs.

  It’s inexplicable why the Count would give you guys a forum.

  The (White) Royal Racist accuses someone of bitterness and being snarky. Never has there been a better example of the pot calling the kettle.

  Yes, so …?

  I do have to say, Cecelia, I grow weary of the foul language. Alas, like Twinkies, it is here for the duration. One of the sad aspects of constant use of certain words, is that they have no meaning or force, like the tire lug scene from “A Christmas Story”. Would that even be noticed today? The great thing about really foul language is that if seldom used, when it is used in an appropriate situation, it is so forceful. When I remove the skin off a knuckle whilst changing the oil in the car, everyone knows I am in a certain amount of pain.

• The Real Royal King

  What did the pot call the kettle, Writer? Have you succumb to political correctness? It is a most happy change.

  (Black) Isn’t that the way you’d write it?
