School of Crock: Jack Black Tries to Rescue Health Care

By Doug Powers  •  October 13, 2010 11:30 AM

**Written by Doug Powers

If it hasn’t happened already, Big Hollywood will end up like teachers unions who shilled for Obamacare but that end up getting a waiver to protect themselves from the same great things they lobbied to force on everybody else.

In the meantime, the Hollywood left continues to pathetically pedal a bicycle that broke its chain months ago:

Yikes, that was like watching Jerry Lewis trying to sell Edsels in 1960.

It’s great seeing Hollywood millionaires preach against “greedy corporate interests.” If only Aetna could be as philanthropic as Paramount Pictures, a company that lets the downtrodden into movies for free.

    I just don’t see how these waivers of Obama are constitutional under the equal protection clause.

    Jack Black is about as edgy as Jerry Lewis without the heart.

    Even if they did, I’m pretty sure no one would go see them anyway.

    Looks like I have to start boycotting Jack Black’s movies now. The list is getting so long I may seldom go to the theaters again.

    This is how they get support for it and how it got passed. The waiver process will probably be contested by Obrainless in the future. If the argument is good enough, Justice Kennedy may flop to the liberal side and find the waivers unconstitutional. Then everybody is in.

    Ain’t socialism wonnerful?

    According to this website, Jack Black is worth about $40 million.

    Great that he doesn’t have to worry if his health insurance costs double. We will.

    Love that celebrities who make more in a 3 minute commercial than I do in a year lecture me about greed.

    Because the Constitution says whatever they say it means. On any given day. Depending on which way the wind is blowing. And the color of Obama’s tie.

    Which is why Amish get a religious exemption but Catholics don’t. And which is why McDonald’s can keep their plan while other employers dump coverage like toxic sludge.

    Yeah, and how much of that $40 mil is in tax shelters? I’ve often wondered how our brilliant liberal pols never considered a tax on wealth? I’d think all these liberal millionaires would really appreciate the fairness of having not just income taxed, but an annual percentage of their total wealth taxed. No?

    Bingo!
    I’ve felt that way for ~30 years, since first hearing Teddy Kennedy bray about tax “fairness”.

    Rush addressed this yesterday. The dems want you to believe that big business is the problem. He gave a long list of how big government is the problem. Too bad Hollyweird millionaires are such hypocrites and can’t see this.

    Absolutely. We should abolish all other taxes and get all of the necessary government income from a tax on wealth, especially from the wealth of “non-profit” foundations and luxury items like yachts and multi-million dollar second homes.

    You know, actually “tax the rich,” the way the left always says they want to do, instead of taxing successful small businesses to death.

    Then sit back and watch how abruptly the size of government implodes.

    Remember when Hollywood put out the “anti-piracy” ads, shunning people for taking money from the hardworking individuals and families in the entertainment industry? They didn’t bother to mention that 90% of profits go to the movie stars, or that theatres only take in 9-10 cents on the dollar per ticket sale (hence the high prices for food and drink.

    But gosh, those corporations are so greedy!

    When they start relying on no-nothing celbrities to peddle their BS, they have simply confirmed that their cause is a lost one.

    They don’t call him “Shallow Hal” for nothing.

    Hal: Well, that face, but with better headlights. You know how hers have kind of dimmed lately? Heidi Klums beams would do. And her teeth. Or, ooh, that Britney Spears girl. She’s got great knockers. But she’s a tad muscular. Uh, actually, you know what? Her ass would do, too, if she had a better grille. Like, uh, Michelle Pfeiffer back when she did “Grease 2″. But she’d have to be a little smilier than Michelle. Kinda like Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, before she got Stamosed. But not as skinny. Someone a little meatier, like Heidi. But without the accent. You know those accents: yah-yah-yah-yah. They really get old fast. You know what I mean. Someone like that.

    Funny how people that play make-believe for a living think they can teach the great unwashed of America something. I wonder how much actors earn in China, N Korea, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia? Not much, but then again those exceptional Countries don’t have those greedy evil corporations that pay millions to the permanent children that inhabit the American big screen.

    At 0.38, he looked just like Michael Moore with the word “misinformant” under him. He crows that the kids are “so stupid they thing Pokemon is a documentary”, but it is the lefties that are responsible for that.

    From “Nacho Libre” to “Mucho Douchebag”.

    Isn’t that Ugly Betty as the teacher?
