Vince VAUGHN + BecKKK = "I'm blackballed in Hollywood because I'm a wingnut." (A prognostication)

There's a pic of BecKKK inside link, sporting a stubble goatee. I didn't post it here to avoid a "graphic" warning and just otherwise gratuitously causing sore eyes.

[font size=5]Vince Vaughn and Glenn Beck Are Making a Reality TV Show Together[/font]

Taylor Berman

Last we heard from Glenn Beck, he was dunking Obama dolls in jars full of fake piss, all in the name of art. Well, now he's set his artistic goals even higher; the former Fox News troll is collaborating with Vince Vaughn on a new reality TV project. The show, called "Pursuit of Truth," will set 20 documentary filmmakers against each other for the prize of having their film, which will no doubt be taken seriously, financed and distributed. All nine of the show's episodes will air on Beck's network, The Blaze TV. ....

Why is Vince Vaughn working with Glenn Beck? For starters, Vaughn is something of a conservative, or at least he likes to read their shitty books. Earlier this year, the Wedding Crashers star wrote a blurb for famous hack and Pulitzer Prize self-nominator Jonah Goldberg's The Tyranny of Cliches.

Everyone says 'think for yourself' but very few people do. In The Tyranny of Clichés, Jonah Goldberg reveals how we've become trapped by ideas we think we understand but don't. A must read."
(-VINCE VAUGHN, actor and producer )


So, mystery solved, sort of. Regardless, we can all agree this show will be awful, right?

and see his show as a very long commercial for beck's projects. He talks around political/economic topics and President Obama as a set up to hawk his book, Agenda 21.

Then, he'll shift to his new project, Pursuit of Truth, after spending 15 minutes talking about the liberal media's failure to get the truth out to the public.

Before this, his show was a sales pitch for getting "investors" to give him money to fund theblaze.

Why don't beckerheads see that he is all about, and quite transparently, just separating them from their money?

Another conservative republican actor who never had a chance to sit down: Jimmy Stewart.


So don't give me that crap VV and Victoria Jackson about being victims because of your politics. Either you make money for the corporations or you don't.

And Duvall especially is a hardcore wingnut. Of course, it helps that he's an outstanding f'in actor.

And I don't think Vaughn is lacking in work. He gets tons of it.

I'm so tired of this one-character-only hack that destroyed so many movies. He has the acting abilities and personality of a pet rock.

After Psycho, for some reason people still thought he had talent. Well, better late than never to correct this.
