If there is one complaint we receive here on almost a daily basis, it’s this: MORE WALLACE SHAWN! Which is really asking a lot, as it’s not every day character actor Wallace Shawn comes up in the news. Lucky for us (and you!), Mr. Shawn has his very own blurb in today’s Page Six! But oh dear… it seems Mr. Shawn is blaming President Bush for ruining his love life… so…
ACTOR/playwright Wallace Shawn blames President Bush for wrecking his love life and causing writer’s block. The son of late New Yorker editor William Shawn whines to the Times of London’s Web site he’s been distraught over the fate of the terrorist suspects held at Guantanamo Bay. “Bush has openly mocked law and proclaimed a certain pleasure in sadism and exulted in holding prisoners and mistreating and torturing them, really,” Shawn rants. “Of course this affects one emotionally: my emotional life has been very strongly affected by the fact that Bush was president and my writing life is affected by my emotional life.”
INCONCEIVABLE! Surely there is someone out there would be honored to spend their life with a guy who kind of looks like the Dad on ALF but is, like, a million times smarter? Surely.
Hopefully, Obama can put Wallace Shawn back on the ladies map.
