Bruce Willis: Mitt Romney is 'an embarrassment'

[Tiso0770]

Even Bruce don't like Mitt....

Bruce Willis does the usual movie-star interview (he has five movies coming out this year) in the June/July issue of Esquire mag.

Except that there isn't really anything usual about it. Most stars sit and chat. Willis? He uses the bathroom five times in two hours. He eats five little pieces of pear. And he insists he's happy so often that it makes you wonder.

"I'm happy. Actively happy. I eschew turmoil," he says.

A veteran of the star machinery, Willis thought a lot about what he wanted to say, reports Esquire's Tom Chiarella. "I don't have an ax to grind. I don't have anything I want to say. I might have gone off once. I might have started in — Hollywood! With the 'tough town, tough business, tough life.' Generating a little context for me and my turmoil. But I don't have a tough life. I know that."

Other than his wife Emma's pregnancy at the time and how excited he was about that -- "All I want right now," he says, "is to be with her, to stare at her belly." (They welcomed baby Mabel on April 1) -- he does get excited talking politics for a moment.

"Yeah, Romney. He's just such a disappointment, an embarrassment. Chin up, hair up. He's just one of those guys, one of those guys who says he's going to change everything. And he'll get in there, and they'll smile at him and introduce themselves: 'We're Congress, we make sure nothing changes.' He won't do it. He can't. Everybody wants to be Barack Obama. And what did he change?"

You think Romney'll win?

"No. Nah. I don't really care." Adds Willis, who backed George H. W. Bush in his run against Bill Clinton two decades ago, "He's just the Dash Riprock of the Republican party."

Mitt Romney will not change much at all. He may not make things bad as fast as Obama and make slightly better court appointments but that's about it.

What a waste of an opportunity it will be if we replace Obama with Romney.

RP or bust.

Dash Riprock of the Republican party.

Nice.

 

[trey4sports]

He backed the Bush that ran on Ron Paul's foreign policy.

NM - wrong Bush.

 

[angelatc]

Nice.

I have no idea who that is, even after searching.

No, according to the article he backed H.W., Bush the senior.

"You feel that sting, big boy?"

No, according to the article he backed H.W., Bush the senior.

Oh crap you're right!

 

[jmdrake]

Yeah Bruce Willis. We agree with you that Mitt Romney sucks. Now why didn't you come out and say that a few months ago?

 

[FindLiberty]

No mention of Ron Paul after he delivered Emma's baby?

Nothing? Not even a simple, "Thanks Dr. Paul"?

I used to like Bruce Willis...

What?

Edit: Bruce seems to have a hawkish view on foreign policy but I like this quote.

In February 2006, Willis appeared in Manhattan to talk about 16 Blocks with reporters. One reporter attempted to ask Willis about his opinion on the current government, but was interrupted by Willis in mid-sentence: "I'm sick of answering this fucking question. I'm a Republican only as far as I want a smaller government, I want less government intrusion. I want them to stop shitting 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 goddamn lobbyists out of Washington. Do that and I'll say I'm a Republican... I hate the government, OK? I'm apolitical. Write that down. I'm not a Republican."

Bruce Willis calls Mitt Romney an 'embarrassment,'

It would appear Willis feels the same way towards the Republican Party as many of us do.

"I'm a Republican only as far as I want a smaller government, want less government intrusion," he said at the time, before adding that both parties had ceased to be fiscally responsible. "I hate government. I'm apolitical. Write that down. I'm not a Republican."

Yippee ki-yay
