SHEEN: 'I WAS ASKED NOT TO COME TO THE WHITE HOUSE'

Hollywood legend MARTIN SHEEN was asked not to attend a party at the White House where his WEST WING co-stars were invited to meet their real-life counterparts. The 66-year-old actor, who played PRESIDENT JOSIAH BARTLET on the US political drama until it ended in May 06, got on well with Bush's predecessor BILL CLINTON, but relations between the TV President and the US government soured when PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH came to power. He reveals, "I adored Mr Clinton. And he was a fan of The West Wing. For a while we were given carte blance at the White House, which ended when Bush got in - ended for me anyway. "When the new administration got into power, all my West Wing colleagues were invited there to meet their counterparts. All except me. I was very relieved about that."

1. Another case of King George, the a$$hole. Bartlett will go down

as a better fictional president than the pretend one.

[bdamomma]

2. I sure he really didn't mind meeting this murderous man

plus Martin Sheen is a supporter of Cindy Sheehan, he did give her his support in Crawford.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Wow, that would really break my heart

Sorry, you can't meet george bush. I'd be crushed.

[DinahMoeHum]

4. WTF, Martin Sheen isn't missing anything by not being

seen with that loser.

OTOH, he IS passing up an opportunity to punch Chimpy in the face.

:evilgrin:

[Norquist Nemesis]

5. LOL! I wonder if Bradley Whitford showed up!

:rofl:

[Sapphire Blue]

6. "I was very relieved about that."

:rofl:

[LibDemAlways]

7. Chimp did him a favor. If I was specifically asked not

to come to meet King George, I would be very proud that whatever I had done had gotten his attention and pissed him off.

[sakabatou]

8. I'd choose Bartlet over * anyday.

[Sugar Smack]

9. This is priceless. George...scared to death of Martin.

Maybe his handlers let him know that Mister Sheen & his whole family are *gasp* activists. Lefties. George ducked out, bless his heart.

[peekaloo]

10. I'll bet Bu$h sees him as that "bad guy" from 'Apocalypse Now'.

huntin' down megalomaniacal arseholes to reveal "the horror, the horror" of his administration.

:-)

[Sugar Smack]

12. *LOL* You're so right! You know what,though, I WISH

I could hear a confrontation between Mister Sheen and George. Can you picture it being recorded: Martin Sheen shaking his hand and at the same giving George a blistering, scathing, pants-wetting review that would leave George whimpering.



:rofl:

[Dinger]

11. Did His Costars Go Anyway?

If so, what happened?

[Kadie]

22. That was all to the story.

I did a brief search but didn't find any other information.

[Swamp Rat]

13. LOLOLOL!!!!!!! What a sissy!!!! Bushler is afraid of an ACTOR!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Sugar Smack]

14. Hey, let's lock George in a room with Tim Robbins and

see what happens! Wouldn't that be fun?

:bounce:

[Swamp Rat]

15. I bet Bushler would run away screaming if Susan Sarandon showed up

Chicken shit sissy. :D

[Sugar Smack]

17. OMG!!!!!!11!!!!! Point!!

:applause: :rofl: :spray: :patriot: Of course! That was too perfect.

[tblue37]

16. On the one hand Bush is a bubble-boy who can't tolerate being

exposed to anyone who doesn't kiss his ass. On the other, he is a vindictive little brat who "punishes" people who cross him. I think both patterns are on display here.

[monmouth]

18. GWB is under the impression he's "handsome" ...gulp.... Martin is a hunk

whether he's 66 or not. George can't stand the competition.

[Cha]

19. REA-LLY!

I wouldn't want to sully my aura by having to go to the chimphouse to fauxschmooze with the sociopathic mass murderer, either!

Martin Sheen Rules..bushit drools.

bush is a 360 degree Coward.

[Orsino]

20. I don't believe a fake president should be allowed into the White House...

...much less that he should be put in charge of welcoming the great Martin Sheen.

[Kadie]

23. hee hee...

:thumbsup:

[huskerlaw]

21. I love Martin Sheen!

Bartlet for President! ;)

[dogday]

24. The fact is the Sheen knows more about the Presidency

than the President.

[deadparrot]

25. Jed Bartlet could kick George's ass, MS and all. nt

[fooj]

26. Relieved indeed!

[liberal renegade]

27. George Bush isn't worthy of

being a pimple on his daddy's ass, let alone being graced with the presence of Martin Sheen.

[calimary]

28. My, my, my. We have an awfully thin skin, don't we?

JEEZ.

[Homer Wells]

29. Had Sheen been invited

he would have taken ALL of the attention away from the other Faux president

I can imagine some of the guests consulting "Bartlett" about the current quagmire, while Georgie Boy stands alone in the corner being all pissy and such.

:rofl: :popcorn:
