No Clooney

Mark Steyn reminds all and sundry why he's the most captivating and versatile conservative columnist in the world - fixing his crosshairs on Hollywood's propensity to tackle 'brave' issues in film, and the awards process that rewards it. George Clooney gets stuffed back (chin first) into the ideological box from whence he came:

He (Clooney) was brave enough to make a movie about Islam’s treatment of women? Oh, no, wait. That was the Dutch director Theo van Gogh: he had his throat cut and half-a-dozen bullets pumped into him by an enraged Muslim who left an explanatory note pinned to the dagger he stuck in his chest. At last year’s Oscars, the Hollywood crowd were too busy championing the “right to dissent” in the Bushitler tyranny to find room even to namecheck Mr van Gogh in the montage of the deceased. Bad karma. Good night and good luck.

Too right, ask yourself this question - does it require a higher element of brevity to make a film questioning the treatment of suspected Communists in America some decades ago, or a film that tackles the rampant Islamofacism enveloping the World today? And which is more likely to get you abducted by a group of bearded men with the intent of decapitating you? This goes a long way to explaining liberal Hollywood's ignorance of what both Steyn and I would consider to be the World's most dangerous talking point.
