Video: Dennis Miller on Redacted

This is from The O’Reilly Factor Wednesday. Dennis Miller tears Mark Cuban apart for financing and distributing the troop-smearing Brian De Palma film, Redacted. He also makes a great point about Hollywood’s loyalty. It isn’t to outsider moneybags like Cuban: Hollywood is only loyal to their money, and only as long as it’s useful to be loyal to that.

“Mark Cuban is in too deep now. They’re gonna lay the First Amendment on him if he tries to roll this back, if he tries to redact Redacted. And the fact is, he has enough zeros after his name that these guys are gonna befriend him like Mr. Drysdale throwing a dinner party for Jed Clampett. But when it serves their purposes they’re gonna throw him under the wheels and I hope he gets ready for that. De Palma will turn on him in a second.”

Redacted is scoring terribly on Rotten Tomatoes and is losing money faster than a Kennedy in a strip joint. If nothing else gets Cuban’s attention, maybe that last fact will.

If Mark Cuban really is interested in depicting the war in Iraq fairly, he ought to finance a film about the al Qaeda slaughterhouses that US troops found and documented during the battle of Fallujah. Those have been redacted from the mainstream press for years.
