When I learned of actor
Ron Silver's death, I figgered nobody else would remember Rush
Limbaugh's story about him at Clinton's
1993 Inauguration. "When Air Force jets flew overhead and Ron
Silver was
furious that the occasion would be marred by such a display of
militarism. A Clinton aide reassured him, "Hey, those are our jets
now - Meaning, liberals were now in control of the military."
That quote, by Vinnie
the K ,on LGF, is one of about 12 million such remembrances I
Googled up. Serves me right for my hubris.
Ann
Coulter
celebrates him in her column this week, paying homage to his courage
for abandoning his liberal Hollywood philosophy in favor of
truth.
But, maybe I'm the only one who brings you his finest
performance, IMO, in the 1984 movie "Garbo Talks." |
