Rating:  Summary: Rivers Of Tears From Malibu Review: Bully pulpit: Malibu and Silver screenMalibu mansions and the silver screen. What are the implications when political neophytes and buffoons like Streisand send Gephardt a fax on a policy issue? A lot of actors are uneducated in the academic sense. Does attending and completing a university undergraduate program, and/or obtaining advanced degrees mean a person knows more about public policy, culture, international relations, or politics? Of course not. Not at all. I believe "life educations, experience education, social education, travel education" is by far more relevant for personal growth and perception. In fact the classroom often is detrimental to a 'political' education. Each individual can go out and live, travel, speak, listen, read, and experience and then progress toward their own political and social identity, no matter what it may be. Many actors (not all) live in the high hills of Hollywood, or on the Malibu cliffs of the Pacific, living off of their creativity and hard work in the entertainment industry. And, deservedly so. Does that mean they are qualified to speak to millions of Americans via the media and tell us what is right, moral, and just? Who do these arrogant clowns think they are. If anything they should be humble. Martin Sheen publicly proclaimed Malibu to be a "refuge for the homeless" to come and live. OK....so....they will come to Malibu and sleep on the EDGE of his property. Will Martin Sheen feed them daily, or have his servants feed them. Will he let them in his house to stay? Will Mr. Sheen purchase land and start building homeless shelters and low-income shelters in his backyard? Martin....where have you been? You haven't done anything but spew your self-righteous superiority while doing NOTHING but TALK. Elitist multi-millionaire exclusive club members can claim to be "liberal, leftist" or anythin. With their financial conditions they can claim anything they want. They can say anything they want. And they don't have to do anything theydon't want to do. Activist leftists should literally whack their head off for such hypocrisy.
Rating:  Summary: Shamelss Opportunism Review: Oh what a hack. It used to be that people of this sort made their living in the alleys near adult bookstores. While some of us are clothed in useful ideas and the ability to aspire to higher things, this author is clothed in thigh high white boots and a micro mini. This is a "Hello Sailor" kind of book. The fact that books like this gain any kind of an audience is endemic of the cultural decline of a once great nation. Like willing sheep the populace follow their various Judas Goats into one killing yard after another. If you are too stupid to divine otherwise, you deserve what you get in the end. Enjoy the ride, it's all downhill from here.
Rating:  Summary: Leftist Hollywood Uncover Review: This book is great because it shows why the Libs in Hollywood are so hypocritical in their causes and shows why hollywood hates AMERICA. Also it shows why libs are so inclusive, intolerant, narrow-minded, judgemental, insensitive, and teach hate speech against flag and country loving americans like us.
Rating:  Summary: Rolling naked through cactus Review: I read some excerpts. I would rather do as the title indicates, then read the rest of this infantile madness. I will still see their movies, even if I were to disagree with their politics. It's mucy easier to criticize another's freedom of expression, than to listen; hence, the betrayal is mutual.
Rating:  Summary: Hypocrites Exposed Review: Hirsen gives a series of great examples of the hypocrisy of the Hollywood personas. How they live their lives is so different from the drivel that comes out of their mouths. The book is a funny, delightful read!
Rating:  Summary: Took his class, now going to read his book Review: I took a Media Law class at Biola University from James Hirsen, and it was absolutely phenomenal. He is one of the wittiest of persons I have met, and can't wait to see where he goes next in his literary career. Highly recommended!
Rating:  Summary: Beautiful Expose of the Loony Left of Hollywood Review: It's about time somebody put the Hollywood airheads to account for their often misguided, uninformed and unAmerican stance towards many issues. It's a pity that in this land of entertainment media those with the littlest brains have the cameras rolling to gasp at their every word. They are not the bright lights when it comes to intelligence and I find it refreshing that Hirsen takes them to task.
Rating:  Summary: Great book and timely Review: As a reader of Hirsen's columns at Newsmax.com, I am pleased to see his new book out. I found it highly informative, and funny as well. Too often Hollywood types get away with the most ridiculous rants, and Hirsen does a good job of exposing them. For another great spoof of Hollywood, from a fictional category, check out 'Hollywood! Must Be Destroyed' by D. Schroder. It is another funny expose of outrageous leftwing types in Hollywood.
Rating:  Summary: Okay muckraking. Review: This book is your usual stuff about spoiled Hollywood stars, but with a political bent. It focuses mostly on the ones who recently supported Clinton or were against the Iraq war (Streisand, Penn, etc.), leaving out notable conservative ones that are just as capable of throwing hissy-fits or temper tantrums...
Rating:  Summary: have a good laugh Review: anecdotal in style, this book is hilarious. although the subject matter is considered serious by some, the author had alot of tongue in cheek when he assembled the stories included in this book. this one is very entertaining and hirsen takes no prisoners. his treatment of the subject, as noted above, is humorous but he does drive home some serious points as well, essentially asking the question: why do poorly educated, ill informed celebrities capture the attention of the american public when political issues are discussed? i suppose the concept of "hero worship" comes to mind when seeking an answer to this question. anyway, don't expect too much from this book. it is entertaining and, hopefully for some, enlightening. i enjoyed it, although i hoped it would go a little further in explaining why such a huge portion of our hollywood icons are left wing extremists. i've always sought an answer to that question. the author attempts to answer this question early on, but through satire, not taking the matter too seriously. he hints that the real reason lies with guilt, proposing that celebs follow the party of the "disadvantaged" and "poor" out of guilt because they have aquired wealth and stature with limited skill, limited education and limited justification for doing so.
