The stuff that's going on is just so over-the-top, with the banking crisis and destroying the Gulf of Mexico, and the outrage hasn't quite caught up with the people yet. But when it does, I think you're going to see really virulent anti-authoritarian kind of comedy coming out.
The living nightmare for a red state NASCAR driver would be a gay French driver.
McCain is the kid who was really cool in middle school but never got high school game and people are sick of him acting like he's still popular.
I would never do 'Stardust Memories' because I don't particularly like that kind of movie - that would be why I wouldn't do that.
I think when a lot of actors hear improv, they think of throwing a line in or doing a slightly different take.

When you do comedy, you get impervious to good and bad reviews.
If someone busted into your house and robbed you, would you then forgive them if you found out they were a veteran? Of course not. So why are we forgiving McCain for selling out his country by supporting the Bush agenda?
