It’s always nice to see a celeb step outside the comfortable confines of Hollywood and dabble their toes in political waters and while he probably won’t be following in the Governator’s tank tracks anytime soon, John Cusack has long been regarded as a sensible, well educated actor who continues to be respected despite being in Hot Tub Time Machine.
Something of a surprise then, as Cusack apparently took to the Twittersphere last night and advocated setting up a ‘Satanic Cult Death Centre’ out side Fox News’ New York headquarters.according to the One Crazy Summer actor:
“I AM FOR A SATANIC DEATH CULT CENTER AT FOX NEWS HQ AND OUTSIDE THE OFFICES ORDICK ARMEYAND NEWT GINGRICH-and all the GOP WELFARE FREAKS,” (Capitalisation by Fox.Who you never hear shouting about anything ever. Because shouting means you’re mad. That’s why they don’t do it. Honest. They don’t…)
Ever the advocates of well balanced political opinion (as evidenced by their standing as ‘America’s most trusted news source’*), Fox was fairly quick to respond, noting that ‘this is the first time he’s stooped to threats‘ after citing his ‘outspoken’ political views.
These actually amount to voting for Obama and once writing a bit for Huffington Post.
Face it, he’s practically Trotski.
Anyway, while Slashing The Seats remains resolutely unpolitical, we’d just like to say “Nice one John.” Infer what you will from that.
Anyway, if you like really, really biased, piss-poor strongly opinionated reportage, then you can view the story in full here, and check out any follow-ups from John himself on Twitter:@johncusack
