Entertainment Section: The Bad Americans

Washington Post reports: (reg req’d)

“When U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited this city last month, Egyptians had an unusual choice: watch her on TV as she expounded on issues of war and peace in the Middle East, or go to a neighborhood movie theater and see her portrayed by a look-alike actress belly-dancing and placed in “adult” situations.

The film in question is “The Night Baghdad Fell,” which depicts Egyptian obsessions with war, sex and the United States. Wildly anti-American, it has done a brisk business for two months, a long screen life for Egyptian-made films. In “Night,” Egyptians fret about a U.S. invasion of Egypt and the potential destruction of their capital. Americans are bullies, rapists and mindless killers.

By the way, “The Night Baghdad Fell” is a comedy.

But we’re not laughing.

We’re attacked and maligned, until some other country needs help. Then America is the first place they come crying to.

Here’s a punchline for next time: Sorry, we’re busy.

Dammit. I though ony we had a right to making over-simplified, xenophobic, dim-witted movies.

What Michael Moore does is regrettable. Point taken.

Those “moderate” Egyptian Muslims are also fond of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. (Spreading lies about Jews drinking the blood of children? That’s okay. A few cartoons satirizing Islam’s violent history? Time to riot and murder!)

Just because crazy Islamic wackjobs go crazy and kill people, we should too?

If I had my way, I’d send Netanyahu and the nuts from the Likud Party, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and the Immoral Majority, all the Islamic nutcases you can find and send them all off to Iraq. They can have a nice time killing each other off.

We in the left could perhaps, then remake the rest of the US into the Sodomite land that is San Francisco — the best city in America. Oakland has better weather, but there are more freaks in SF.

Michael Moore. Al Sharpton. Jesse Jackson. Harry Reid. Tubby Kennedy. Ward Churchill. Want foreigners? Chirac. Putin. Ahmadebinajab (or whatever his name is). Anan. Want places? Afganistan. Iraq. Korea. Iran. Sudan.

Get a life, upper haight, and figure out who the enemy really is.
