Zing! I love it! As with your best posts, I can imagine Bush actually saying this. Posted by: Alice at March 4, 2003 08:04 PMGood one! And who the hell is Harry Bellafonte, anyway? He only has one memorable song--the silly thing about the bananas. And a fairly hot daughter. Posted by: James Joyner at March 4, 2003 08:42 PMHairy Belafonte of course !! We have Hairy Belafonte sing to the hairy evil It should make a lovely duet. Damn -- I already posted about this today, but yours is funnier. I do have a picture of Harry in a straitjacket, though. So there. Posted by: Phil at March 4, 2003 09:01 PMBelafonte said, "I think he has a very selfish, This sounds more like the lyrics to "Butcher of Baghdad" to me... "come mister Taliban Remember the Taliban? What ever happened to those guys? he he he. Daylight come and me wanna drop bomb.... Posted by: Ameri-can at March 5, 2003 12:05 AMHarry had several hits in the late 50's and early 60's and I for one think that this enables him to criticize national policy for the next four decades. After all his songs, "Banana Boat Song (Day-O)", "Man Smart(Woman Smarter)" and "Jump Down, Spin Around" are frought with deep meaning and bespeak his understanding of world affairs. He, of course, later went on to found that hearing aid company......no wait that was Beltone. Posted by: wallace at March 5, 2003 12:34 AMHarry and Louis (Calypso Louie) Farakan are planning a nostalgia tour. Posted by: wizegoi at March 5, 2003 03:19 AMDear Harry, There's a banana boat leaving in one hour...be on it, please. Your loving daughter. Posted by: mike at March 5, 2003 08:31 AMDear BellerFaute', President Bush said it best, after 9/11, "You are either with us, or you are AGAINST us!" Now leave...and take your weasel French, Germans, and wussy Hollywood, no talent types, with you. BTW, has anybody thought of what makes a good actor? Being a good LIER! That's right, you can sugar coat it and call it play acting, pretend, or fantasy, BUT the simple truth is, they are good at lying, to make us believe they are the person they are portraiting! Robert Blake will be convicted. Why,---Bad lier, and bad actor. Posted by: Susan Serin-Done at March 5, 2003 10:33 AMThis just in - In a shocking confidential communication intercepted between Belafonte and Michael Jackson (former failed face transplant victim) Jackson assures Belafonte that for a few goats, some cows, and the small sum of $150,000.00 he can guarantee that the administration can be "evil possessed"! Posted by: zzebu at March 5, 2003 10:54 AMJust another Hollywood antic from the washed-up has-been type. Harry, where were you when Clinton was lobbing cruise missiles at Bin Laden, when US forces were involved in Bosnia without UN authorization, when our soldiers were dying in Somalia? I don't remember your press conferences nor your public pronouncements. Hypocrisy makes you look foolish, transparent and pushing a political agenda instead of consistantly applying moral stands regardless of who inhabits the White House. Either that or it's time to pin your name on your windbreaker and bring you to the dog track. Posted by: tom at March 5, 2003 12:29 PMWhy do a group of preople tear down their heros and honorable men and women and glorify such immoral characters as Clinton and Jesse Jackson?Oh well we in the time when evilbecomes good and good becomes evil......go figure on. Posted by: Dego at March 5, 2003 12:31 PMAll of his songs, notice, have titles missing important worlds (Man Smart), such as 'is' Posted by: Paul C. Tindall at March 5, 2003 06:53 PMThe song by Belafonte is the "Banana Boat Song". Lets make it the "Taliban Song" Come mr. taliban hand over bin laden ma, osama, osama, osama, osama Bush is the most out of control, self apointed leader of evil, whom will not be happy untill his retarded nazism is the way the whole world works. regardless of the rest of what the rest of the world believe.... Is this page American???? Posted by: Andy at May 9, 2003 04:13 AMwhat's sad, is that today, when an "American" speaks against the president, it's un-patriotic. The truth of the matter is...Condoleeza is a name of an OIL TANKER, named in her honor...of course, she is the national security advicer to a coke head, leader wanna be...yeah...whatever happened to the taliban ??? did we get Osama ? Saddam ? mmmmhhhh? Yep..they are liers...but wait! we own oilfields in iraq now...don't we?? WAKE UP AMERICANS, THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT FOUNDED BY NOT QUESTIONING OUR GOVERNMENT...IF YOU NEED ANY PROOF..ASK THE GERMANS...THEY'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM WHEN THEY "BELIEVED" HITLER....
