Joy Behar Asks Richard Dreyfuss How He Found 'Satanic Spot' to Play Cheney; Actor Says He Found His Inner Hitler
On Monday's Joy Behar show, the host promoted the latest work of liberal actor Richard Dreyfuss, but soon turned the conversation to Dreyfuss playing Dick Cheney in the 2008 Oliver Stone flop "W." and how he could find the "satanic spot" in his soul to play Cheney. Dreyfuss said you can "find all the villainy in the world in your own heart," and said he tells students to focus on the Hitler inside you when playing a bad guy. Cheney as Hitler: this is just another night on the Joy Behar Show.
BEHAR: Now, you played a bad guy in "Red" and you also played a bad guy in "W," one of my favorite movies. So funny.
DREYFUSS: Which you said I would never do. He would never do that. He would never play Dick Cheney. He's a liberal.
BEHAR: I was wrong. I was wrong. But was it hard to play Dick Cheney?
DREYFUSS: It's a big person --
BEHAR: Where did you find in yourself -- because I know that you`re not a fan of Cheney. I know that.
DREYFUSS: I'm not a fan of Cheney`s.
BEHAR: OK. Where did you find it in yourself to go down and find that satanic spot that we all know so well?
DREYFUSS: Are you leading me somewhere? First of all, every actor likes the play bad guys.
BEHAR: Yes.
DREYFUSS: And it just so happen in the last few years I played all Republican bad guys.
BEHAR: Oh, yes.
DREYFUSS: That's just a coincidence. And to play Dick Cheney, all I had to do was find my Dick Cheney. And you can find all the villainy in the world in your own heart, and that`s what an actor`s job is.
BEHAR: That`s right.
DREYFUSS: I always say to kids, inside you is Hitler and Jesus. And you got to find the appropriate person and bring them out.
Since Cheney was being discussed, it was inevitable that Behar would refer to the recent Washington Post story strongly suggesting that Cheney never apologized to the man he accidentally shot while hunting, Harry Whittington. This is apparently endless grist for hilarity:
BEHAR: OK. You know, it just so happens while we're on the topic of Cheney, the guy that he shot a few years ago, remember that guy?
DREYFUSS: Yes.
BEHAR: He just emerged yesterday or something or the day before.
DREYFUSS: Does he have a hole in his face?
BEHAR: Last week, whenever it was. I don't know about a hole in his face, but he has buckshot, still has like 30 shots. And the way I read it, Cheney has still not apologized for that.
DREYFUSS: In my research, you know, to do Cheney, I started to hunt and I wanted to invite you to go hunting with me.
BEHAR: Me?
DREYFUSS: Yes. Just stand over here and I'll stand over here. I promise not to hit you.

Stimulating and totally relevent conversation from two political heavyweights.
Dreypuss still acts?
Joyless loves to talk about the "hate" from the right while the real "hate" is on her show, Malloy and company.
Joyless, how about talking about how great Oweblamo is and how stupid the voters are, or how racist all of a sudden the independents are?

Of all the movies out there, "W" is one of Behar's favorites. That in itself speaks volumes to her taste and intelligence, both of which are running in step with the fabulous success of the "film".

That shouldn't be too difficult. After all Hitler was a socialist just like these two, it seems to me it would be harder for either of them to hide their "inner Hitler" than find it.

Libs like these two can demonize conservatives all they want. Most reasonable people know and understand the country would be way better off if Dick Cheney were running it right now than it is with B.O. and his minions at the helm. Running off at the mouth about Dick Cheney is just deflecting the issue at hand. We have a demogogue Marxist in the White House who is systemtically dismantling the fundamental underpinnings of American culture, and these bozos are running off about Dick Cheney, who has been out of office for almost two years. Is anybody still falling for this nonsense?
Dreyfuss looks more like Paul Krugman than . . .

They can compare people to Hitler--because they are smarter and doing it justifiably--or so they would have me believe.
See, you can't compare Obama to Hitler because Obama is probably not going to send anybody to the gas ovens, where Cheney is supposed to be closer--or if they were really in full-bore petulance, they would insist that Cheney would send people to the ovens if the conditions were right--and then back off and then assert it again, depending on how the argument went....
You can't expect any one thing from people who are as inconsistent as American liberals.

Let's see -
On one hand we have an over-the-hill, college dropout, draft-dodger, cocaine addict who sued his own parents for a 24 year old loan and hasn't won a major acting award in decades.
On the other hand, you have a man who has has a BA and an MA, was a 6 term Congressman, served in three different presidential administrations as Chief of Staff, Defense Secretary overseeing several major military conflicts, was the director of the Council on Foreign Relations, was the CEO and Chairman of a muilti-billion dollars corporation, and was Vice President of the United States. He's survived 5 heart attacks, and managed to be a good husband of 46 years and a good father.

Like Whoopi cushion, Behar needs a shower, a hairdresser, and some new clothes.
