Nice quote by Roger Ebert

[Khephra]

Anti-American or good-humored fun?

I just saw "Love Actually" and thought it was a very good movie. But one scene I found offensive and unnecessary -- Billy Bob Thornton as the president, showing him as a disreputable womanizing bully. That scene and the press conference were totally anti-American.

Michael Leone, Port Washington, N.Y.

(Ebert's response)

It was a funny scene involving a cleverly realized fictional character inspired in equal parts by Clinton and Bush. The British prime minister's putdown at the press conference was fueled by his jealousy, because he also had a crush on the young woman targeted by the president. When did we get so thin-skinned that any depiction of the president short of idolatry is "anti-American?" What happened to our sense of humor?

1. Equal parts Clinton and Bush ...

I guess the womanizing part is Clinton and the bully part is Bush. :)
BTW, Ebert is right.
