Viggo Mortensen blasts President Bush


Viggo Mortensen isn't shy about sharing his political opinions.


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."

Woah! That is such a strong opinion Viggo has. He's brave to come out like that and say what he feels. I haven't heard of any other famous celebrities doing it. Has anyone else?

I guess Bono from U2, he's always strong in his opinions and has made it public that he is not a fan of Bush... though Bono is more Politically correct in his statements I suppose... Pink as well. she actually did a song about it.. Dear Mr. President, it's really good actually (well, I think it is)

Still I can only applaud Viggo, his thoughts are shared with many, but speaking out when your'e in such a high profile position, that takes guts. I am one of those people that share them.
