I received this in an e-mail from a friend today:
Subject: Denzel Washington interview w/ Katie Couric
Did you see or hear about the Denzel Washington interview with Katie Couric
on NBC last Friday morning ( 13 August 2004)?
NBC folks are wishing it would go away and are trying to sweep it under the
rug.
It basically went like this.
********************
Meryl Streep and Denzel were on the today show "live" with Katie Couric to
talk about the movie "Manchurian Candidate."
At one point Katie asked Denzel, "have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?" To which
Denzel replied, "No, and I have no intentions on seeing it." Katie and Meryl
were "so noticeably" taken aback! It was so cool!
Then, a discourse (or more preferably, a fight!) began between all three of
them with Denzel being barraged with all kinds of anti-Bush, anti-republican
comments, but "the man stood his ground" and soon enraged the women so
much that they couldn't get a word in edgewise. Meryl Streep turned blood
red and she sat with her legs crossed and her one leg shaking up and down,
fuming! Then Katie uttered the words that put the final nail in her coffin, she
said to Denzel "you see, that's the problem I have with "you people."
She of course did not get to finish her sentence because Denzel pounced on
her verbally by responding "YOU PEOPLE! YOU PEOPLE! Just what do you
mean you people! Do you mean "You People" as in me as a Christian, or do
you mean "You People" as in me as a REPUBLICAN? or ?You People? as in me
as a black man? She then tap danced her way
through the next minute of the show. But Denzel went out fighting and
declaring that Fahrenheit 9/11 is nothing but propaganda and lies distorted
to support a cynical democratic film director's views.
There's a celebrity that deserves to wear the uniform in movies.
