Offered not as evidence that he took pleasure in the attack but of how almost impressively stupid he is. You can’t appreciate it unless you’ve watched this short classic from the HA archives first, in which Brolin merrily recommends a Truther trainwreck which, per the poll in their sidebar, is feebleminded even by the standards of the genre. As you’ll see, that earlier post was written in a simpler age when I assumed Rosie was hostile to Trutherism. How young we were then.
Watch, then listen, and tell me that his tone-deafness isn’t of such magnitude as to approach, er, “specialness.” Click the image to listen.

What a tool.
John on September 14, 2007 at 7:46 PM
Ya, he’d be better off not talking at all.
boomer on September 14, 2007 at 7:52 PM
What an absolute, MFing, worthless, POS. I know-ad hom’s are beneath us, etc. In some cases, there is nothing else to say…
JWS on September 14, 2007 at 7:52 PM
*blank stare* omg.
emmaline1138 on September 14, 2007 at 7:55 PM
Nothing between the ears, and an empty chest cavity.
infidel4life on September 14, 2007 at 7:57 PM
Yeah, that sums it up…
JetBoy on September 14, 2007 at 7:57 PM
I can’t tell if he really is just stupid or he’s being condescending. Maybe both.
Guardian on September 14, 2007 at 7:57 PM
Perhaps he’d like to congratulate the Jews on the beginning of the Nazi Regime.
That was just ghoulish. I loved the dead silence of the DJ after the 9/11 remark and his suggestion that perhaps Mr. Streisand “just talk about the movie”.
mjk on September 14, 2007 at 7:58 PM
So thats’ the Left’s strategy to fight the GWoT:
Aggressive Stupidity
I can see it now…
Lou Costello:”you want me to pray to who?”
Osama:”To Allah!”

trubble on September 14, 2007 at 8:02 PM
I’m amazed he hasn’t choked to death on his own tongue.
Bad Candy on September 14, 2007 at 8:05 PM
Retarded sounds better. Drunk is probably more accurate. Wouldn’t you be if you were married to that cow?
repvoter on September 14, 2007 at 8:07 PM
Considering he is married to the Noam Chomsky of the singing world, this comment is to be expected.
And besides, considering he was in on the fake Mars landing, he makes a natural truther.
jihadwatcher on September 14, 2007 at 8:07 PM
“I think you would be better off talking about this movie.”
Ya think?
Or..or maybe you should go back to your medical practice is SO. Cal with Dr Welby.
kahall on September 14, 2007 at 8:07 PM
Classic! That explains why he married her. She’s more annoying than fingernails on a chalkboard and he’s dumb as a chalk. Mystery solved.
Thomas the Wraith on September 14, 2007 at 8:08 PM
Crap…
In SO. CA
kahall on September 14, 2007 at 8:08 PM
I stand by my comment of Dec. 29, to the Dec. 28 HA thread.
Sidenote – the two are turning into little piglets.
Entelechy on September 14, 2007 at 8:10 PM
I have no idea what to say about that…..insane..
EnochCain on September 14, 2007 at 8:10 PM
Let’s cut him some slack. He has to wake up next to STRIESAND every morning. Yechhhh!!!
edgehead on September 14, 2007 at 8:20 PM
It was bound to happen eventually. People say “happy Memorial Day” too.
Laura on September 14, 2007 at 8:21 PM
Years ago, I thought he was the real conservative deal for making “Pensicola: Wings of Gold” because it was classic recruitment propaganda. Now I realize he was too dumb to know it.
laelaps on September 14, 2007 at 8:21 PM
Cut the guy a break. He is an actor. You expect him to have a coherent thought? It is obvious he did not have his lines memorized!
OK, there are some in the profession that are graced with coherent thought. He missed that flight.
portlandbob on September 14, 2007 at 8:27 PM
Have another drink Mr.Streisandovich.

I have a great idea on how to improve America’s image.
Deport its morons.
Connie on September 14, 2007 at 8:39 PM
I heard this on Glenn Beck’s show this morning. I would have to disagree from your analysis. I say ‘What a stool!’. As in, “Mr. Smith, we will need to get your stool sample to the lab”.
Abu Daboo Doo on September 14, 2007 at 8:41 PM
OT: Geraldo just apologized to Michelle on the Factor.
2Brave2Bscared on September 14, 2007 at 8:46 PM
ditto that 2Brave But only to the spitting comment, not to michell herself.
allrsn on September 14, 2007 at 8:47 PM
And it seemed sincere.
p0s3r on September 14, 2007 at 8:48 PM
Yep – that definitely was Geraldo “I’m not a spitter” Rivera.
To which I say, don’t spit a spitter, Gerry. You meant it didn’t you!
RD on September 14, 2007 at 8:48 PM
I caught that too…but did he do it in private? in person?
hmmmm…..
Tru2my2 on September 14, 2007 at 8:48 PM
Yes, I should have specified that Michelle was not on the show.
2Brave2Bscared on September 14, 2007 at 8:48 PM
We’ll need a thread for this one, AP…..
Tru2my2 on September 14, 2007 at 8:49 PM
The minute BOR mentioned Geraldo’s name, I switched to Law & Order.
Connie on September 14, 2007 at 9:03 PM
Effing pig. “Happy 9/11″? That’s like saying “Happy Holocaust” to Elie Wiesel. Dumba** Hollyweirdo.
MsUnderestimated on September 14, 2007 at 9:14 PM
Notice: no apology when called on it by the host.
Being liberal means never having to say you’re sorry
ToddonCapeCod on September 14, 2007 at 9:25 PM
This is how a child…err…Liberal rubs your face in something; they have control of Congress, Bush is unpopular, the war is unpopular and 43% of Democrats believe in the Truther’s BS about 9/11. From a few years ago when you could here them whining 24/7 about stolen elections, “Bush lied” and evil conservatives, now we get to watch them attempt taunt people from their ivory tower.
That’s fine, it defines who they are. Something I’m sure their grandparents would be completely ashamed of.
Tyrs Fury on September 14, 2007 at 9:35 PM
You own “Happy 9-11″ now, Mr. Brolin. Wear it with pride, cretin.
RushBaby on September 14, 2007 at 9:47 PM
Eigh double ess; H-O-L-E
locomotivebreath1901 on September 14, 2007 at 9:51 PM
Oh, my. The stunned silence said it all. And on the View clip, did he say his grandfather, mother and father couldn’t “think for themselves” because they were Republicans?
Yes, Allah, he is a special kind of stupid.
Jaibones on September 14, 2007 at 9:54 PM
Did his ugly fat wife have a fur on? I thought she pretended to be an environmental nutball?
Jaibones on September 14, 2007 at 10:04 PM
Oops
Jaibones on September 14, 2007 at 10:05 PM
Or Merry Kristallnacht–it sounds so festive!
This guy should return to the AA (honk honk) MCO commercials. That’s seems to be all his cerebellar synapses can handle.
Kimmer on September 14, 2007 at 10:08 PM
Isn’t this idiot the one who portrayed Reagan in that ridiculous Showtime movie a couple years ago?
Dork B. on September 14, 2007 at 10:17 PM
I want him to go up to an average New Yorker and say that. I really do. The violence would satisfy.
MadisonConservative on September 14, 2007 at 10:20 PM
Wasn’t this the loser SeeBS turned to when they wanted to make Ronald Reagan look like a dunce in that flick that got bumped to Showtime?
So in Hollywood the template is that when you need an airhead just get Brolin on the line I guess.
RW_theoriginal on September 14, 2007 at 10:31 PM
As Louie Prima sang: “I’m Just a gigolo
everywhere I go
people know the part
I’m playing
Paid for every dance
selling each romance
Oh what their saying
There will come a day
And youth will pass away
What will they say about me
When the end comes I know
they’ll say just a gigolo
Life goes on without me “
MCPO Airdale on September 14, 2007 at 10:32 PM
GOD. SHE IS SO GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excuse me. What were we talking about again..?
tree hugging sister on September 14, 2007 at 10:34 PM
Kudos to the talk show host, wasn’t taken in by the celebrity. Made sure he or at least the listeners) understood what the day meant.
right2bright on September 14, 2007 at 10:39 PM
Hey Brolin,
Happy Leech With No Talent Day.
fogw on September 14, 2007 at 10:44 PM
Wow, the tool’s a Truther, too.

Kimmer on September 14, 2007 at 10:49 PM
Idiot. Ya know, all these Hollywood types would be seen with so much more respect if they just never opened their mouths until a director said ACTION!
Joshua P. Allem on September 14, 2007 at 10:56 PM
A happy 911?!WTF,right from the word go,James Brolin
wanted to besmirch,and B!starize,President Ronald Reagans
legacy,and as for Barbara,I like to know the juicy story
as to why she ran her !ss out of the White House at midnight!
Probably Hillary caught Bill on his 50th conquest in the
White House!
I’ll make sure they never enter Canada.HA ha
canopfor on September 14, 2007 at 11:06 PM
Don’t think I’ve ever heard “Happy Pearl Harbour Day”, on Dec.7
One of the damndest silences I ever heard.
Did he think that would be funny? Or make him sound clever? Or do they really walk around saying that to each other.
So emersed in Hollyworld they are, they wishfully think 9-11 was just a movie with very realistic special effects, “it won its just due Academy Awards now get over it”.
Such dispicable disrespect. The only sense of honor they think matters, is text on a lala land imaginary script. Next they will go defacate on GroundZero, make a broadway show about the event, and give themselves awards.
christophercube on September 14, 2007 at 11:50 PM
I like how at the end of the clip the host of the radio show that is interviewing Brolin pretty much tells him to STFU while he is ahead and discuss the movie.
dawgsleadtheway on September 15, 2007 at 1:25 AM
And with the tone it was said in, Brolin is lucky it was a phoned in interview.
Wow, just oh wow
I can see a backlash a comin’

MirCat on September 15, 2007 at 1:58 AM
I keep pointing at Evan Sayet because his analysis of the situation was so pithy.
He called himself a “9/13 Republican,” because that’s when he realized after years of denial that his Liberal friends really did hate America.
Welcome to the party, pal!
As to Mr. Crackheaded Dimwit, try that one as an opener when you’re speaking at an FDNY memorial dinner, just make sure the cameras are rolling ’cause I want to see that.
I read a while back that there is a “competence floor” at around the 12th percentile level where people lose the ability to determine their own competence – and generally radically overrate it. i.e. someone who’s 90% competent rates themselves near there, someone who’s 20% competent rates themselves near there, but at 12% they’re so damned clueless they think they have a grip on the situation.
Mr. Brolin is a 12-percenter. Or less. At life.
Merovign on September 15, 2007 at 2:59 AM
Whiskey! The Breakfast of Truthers.
soundingboard on September 15, 2007 at 4:24 AM
Tell me he didn’t just say “Celebrate the day.”
Did he not have access to television or news that day? Or the months following?
tikvah on September 15, 2007 at 5:21 AM
Mrs. and Mr. Streisand, the twin towers of ignorance.
saved on September 15, 2007 at 7:37 AM
Wow. That’s right up there with a local DJ one year wishing listeners “Happy Good Friday.”
“Happy” ain’t what the day’s about, pal.
Lurking Vet on September 15, 2007 at 8:17 AM
Expecting anything less out of hollywood puts you’re expectations way to high.
ajmontana on September 15, 2007 at 8:53 AM
Didn’t know HA had those FBI age-enhancement programs.
This photo of Mr. and Mrs. John Edwards is fascinating.
JiangxiDad on September 15, 2007 at 8:56 AM
Somewhere out there in the mists, Marcus Welby (M.D.) is rolling over in his TV grave and saying, “What happened to Steven Kiley? He used to act like he had a brain in his head.”
I guess “act” is the operative word there.
52Ranger on September 15, 2007 at 9:41 AM
Stupidity by injection
Wade on September 15, 2007 at 9:54 AM
Well, I think I’d forgive most people that mistake, honestly. The difference is they mean well.
tree hugging sister on September 15, 2007 at 10:27 AM
Up the Meds, Bro!
UP THE MEDS!
(Or what JWS at comment # 3 said)
profitsbeard on September 15, 2007 at 11:44 AM
I’m sorry but maybe I’m just a hot head , maybe its my Irish blood, but saying “Happy 9-11″ deserve one response in my book and thats a
right cross to the mouth.Mojack420 on September 15, 2007 at 11:49 AM
At least we can be glad that the two of them won’t reproduce. No more little Streisand-Brolins running around. Two is more than enough.
Qzsusy on September 15, 2007 at 12:32 PM
Right
updown there with “Happy Holocaust Day,” “Merry December 7,” and “I wish your daughter the best of luck in school, and may she win one of those Amber Alerts or whatever those trophies are called.”Hollywood: Moron Mecca.
thejackal on September 15, 2007 at 4:01 PM
Brolin sounds a little “touched in the head”.
He must forgotten his boy, Kucinich voted against the 9/11 Commemoration.
kiakjones on September 15, 2007 at 4:16 PM
Holy Crap! What a doofus! Yet another explanation as to why he would marry Mechastreisand.
Wingo on September 15, 2007 at 6:09 PM
What is an average New Yorker? A left wing dufus?
Wade on September 15, 2007 at 8:37 PM
The odds are less if he tries it here on Staten Island. I recommend he say it to a fireman.
sibobr on September 15, 2007 at 9:55 PM
Rosie, can I borrow your bat for a few minutes?
