TwitterGeorge Bush, Colin Powell popped in Shreveport? Well, kinda.
News flash!
According to the New York Daily News, Shreveport, La., police officers might have gotten rough when they arrested actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright at a recent wrap party for "W.," Oliver Stone's film about George W. Bush.
In the controversial movie, Brolin plays President Bush and Wright is cast as Colin Powell.
The Rush & Molloy gossip column contends that a squad of 10 police officers "got aggressive" with the actors and crew members at the Stray Cat bar - blinding at least one of them with pepper spray.
A police rep told the paper: "We are not at liberty to discuss the specifics of the incident. But officers will use whatever force they feel is necessary to effect a safe arrest."
One source said something about racial epithet directed at Wright. But Det. Rod Demery said that he hadn't heard of any slurs being used and that police were called "because we got a report of an unruly patron."
One lighting tech was arrested. Wright, Brolin and four other people were charged with interfering with the arrest.
Curiously MIA? Oliver Stone, who had left the wrap party early. Hmmm. To my mind, this is stranger than the grassy knoll or the single bullet theory combined.

What? So some pushy, ill mannered, liberal actor wannabes got pushed around by law enforcement officers doing their job? And now they are whining about it?
Typical pissy kid stuff we've come to expect from the left. Nothing to see here.
Yes, indeed, Reason. And where were those helpful police when pissy rich kids in Alabama were snorting half the gross national product of Bolivia up their nose in the 1960s and creating all sorts of public disturbances?
Reason: You've obviously done a very good job of avoiding trouble your whole life, so congratulate yourself and hope that you never end up in a situation where the police decided it's you they don't like. And if the story of your aggressive beating makes it to these pages, I'll post a cool, emotionless comment about how you too deserved it because of who you are.
PS, those "pissy" people on the left wanted to keep your ignorant -ss out of Iraq and you screamed at them. They're the ones who brought global warming to your attention. And you still can't give liberals any respect. You are being totally played by the "leaders" who you think care about you and your interests.
