Did you see the Denzel Washington interview with Katie Couric on NBC last Friday morning? Not many people are talking about it. They are wishing it would go away and are trying to sweep it under the rug. But it’s not going to happen.
Basically, it 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 of seeing it.” Katie and Meryl were noticeably taken aback.
“Then, a discourse - or more preferably, a (verbal) 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 sat fuming with her legs crossed, one leg shaking up and down.
“Then Katie uttered the words that put the final nail in her coffin, saying 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? She then tap danced her way through the next minute of the show.
“But Denzel went out fighting and declared that Fahrenheit 9/11 is nothing but propaganda and lies distorted to support the cynical Democrat film director’s (personal and political) views.”
