On that show, Voight ironically sounded so much like Jack Chismore, the out of control, deranged alcoholic that he portrayed so well in "Desert Bloom". Chismore would ramble on about worldwide conspiracies and how evil people were out to get our country, blah blah blah blah... Tonight, Voight was rambling on like someone who really did stop taking his medication. He was scary. He seemed very high or very crazy. Maybe a bit of both? What he said was bad enough. But how he acted when he said it was also very, very strange. I was actually embarrased for him. If I were his kid, I'd be shaking my head and looking downward.

Yet, it does lower morale among the public and TROOPS! Considering I am one. Please stop with the furher remarkes and North Korea crap. Youve probably never been to a third world country and most likley never will. You dont have the slightest idea what its like to be ruled under a totalitarian or facist leader. Appreciate what you do have. Thats right on and for you who say that speaking out against the president is okay yes you are allowed to and no one is trying to take that away from you.

This behavior is common in times of crisis, when two sides are competing for ruling power. Well, Johnny, the Democrats have wrested control of this country away from your beloved failures, but don't worry, we will protect you, just as we will protect everyone else in the country, because we are Democrats. We are enlightened, intelligent, compassionate, understanding, brave and strong in principle and in action. For your suport of him, Bush is going to fart in your face at the earliest opportunity. As for Britney: Just shut up and sing, airhead. Oh yes, Voight wants to be on the side of the American Nazis because they will protect him when Osama invades America.

In "Ali" he played legendary sportscaster Howard Cosell who supported The Champ's refusal to fight in Vietnam. In "Coming Home", he played a Vietnam veteran who has seen and suffered the horros over there. In the IFC docuseries, "THE 70'S Under the Influence", he talked about the brilliance of Hal Ashby's films that had great social commentary. But then when he played Pope John Paul II, that should have given off as a sign, especially when he was being interview on some religious tv station. And now this. Has he drunken the entire Kool-aid? Has he become Felafel Boy's new personal bitch? Jennifer Aniston, you're luckier than Angelina. I just hope your dad never acts like that. WTF happened to Jon Voight?
