"Lord Of The Rings" Star Blasts Bush

Viggo Mortensen, who played Aragorn, expert swordsman and heir to the Gondor throne, blasted President Bush in the latest issue of Progressive magazine. Instead of writing, I'm going to post what was written on MSNBC.com:

Viggo Mortensen isn’t backing off his stinging critique of George Bush.

The “Lord of the Rings” hottie took some heat for criticizing the president’s policies lately, and in a recent interview, Mortensen is unrepentant.

“I’m not anti-Bush; I’m anti-Bush behavior,” Mortensen told Progressive magazine. “In other words, I’m against cheating, greed, cruelty, racism, imperialism, religious fundamentalism, treason, and the seemingly limitless capacity for hypocrisy shown by Bush and his administration.”

Mortensen also blasted the administration’s handling of Hurricane Katrina and discussed why he supported anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, who has protested the war in Iraq since her son was killed there. “Cindy Sheehan and how badly Katrina was bungled are two shots to the heart,” he said. “I hope the beast does fall down soon."


I think Viggo Mortensen did a great job in the "Lord Of The Rings" Trilogy! And now I like him even more, now that I know he is liberal! Cool!
