I won’t be seeing any more Will Ferrell movies

Will Ferrell has a bad case of  Bush Derangement Syndrome. It’s so bad that he feels the need to smear President Bush even when he becomes former president George W. Bush. Ferrell and HBO are working together to create a bash Bush fest on Broadway that will run after Bush leaves office. It’s interesting, isn’t it, how many Bush hating liberals are lining up to make money off of him. From Newsbusters:

HBO not only bought the rights to broadcast Obama-hallowing Inauguration events. Patrick Healy of The New York Times reported on Wednesday it’s also bankrolling Will Ferrell’s one-man Broadway stage show mocking George W. Bush called “You’re Welcome, America” over the next few months. (They’ll also air it on HBO in March.)

Ferrell talked to the Times about Bush’s election in 2000: “It was just the craziest thing in modern political history,” Mr. Ferrell said, “and then the crazy stuff kept going for eight years. Most administrations have a domestic problem, an overseas problem. Ethics. But these guys covered it all.”

Ferrell’s writing partner Adam McKay was blunter about the Bush-bashing show’s overarching theme: “It really gets to the question of how Americans covered their eyes and ears for the last eight years, how cowed the media was. I think America got caught at its fattest and laziest, and I say that as someone who is fat and can be lazy.”

The media was cowed? What is the color of the sky in that guy’s world? And as to his snark about America being at its fattest and laziest – that’s what Osama Bin Laden thought, too, when he decided to attack us on 9/11.

But this is the part that solidified my decision to not see any more Will Ferrell movies (emphasis mine):

“I kind of feel like he’s someone who — and I think this is documented — he is someone who is seeking acceptance throughout his entire life, and finally got into the most prominent position of power in the world, and then thought ‘My way or the highway,’ ” said Mr. Ferrell, who paused as he discussed Mr. Bush, choosing his words carefully rather than cracking jokes that might seem demeaning. “There are times when I was doing him and I thought, ‘I kind of feel sorry for him.’ But then I’d think, ‘No, he’s a grown man, he needs to be held accountable for what happened.’ “

Held accountable for what? For protecting us from another attack like 9/11? For destroying al Qaeda so that it’s a shell of what it used to be? For freeing millions of Iraqis from the bondage of tyranny and torture? For fighting AIDS and saving millions of lives in Africa?

Will Ferrell, you’re an idiot and you will not get one more dollar from me.
