What a douchebag:

Stone said he extended invites to the Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees yesterday morning [for the premier of W] - but they opted for a fund-raiser instead. That was just fine with the Bush-bashing director, who seems to despise Palin even more. "I don't think Sarah would understand the picture," Stone said on the red carpet outside the famed W. 54th St. theater. "It has a lot of complicated dialogue," he zinged. "George Bush is an intellectual compared to her."

If only we could all be as smart as the tool who said that 9/11 was an impressive "revolt" against corporate power - and who backed up his moral idiocy with drivel like "this attack was pure chaos, and chaos is energy." No wonder he fancies himself an intellectual. Insights like that those aren't available to just anyone. You have to be the kind of guy who embraces terrorists and thinks Chavez is a "great man." In other words: sophisticated! I can't imagine how HBO concluded that his Castro documentary was too stupid to air. Corporate control, would be my guess.

As always with these self-important leftist morons: it's not just that they have little to no understanding of economics, geopolitics, or history. That's not great, of course, but they're not paid to be smart. What's really obnoxious is how they're utterly convinced that they're sophisticated geniuses. Because then they feel free to give voice to thought. And that hurts.
