Walker, Texas Ranger Says War is Working

The world is a crazy mixed-up place. When Paris Hilton passes for a celebrity and Hollywood's dowagers are thrown away like so many dirty socks, all we can do is surrender to the madness, sit back and enjoy the ride.


Norris as Walker, Texas Ranger. (CBS)

That's why it's not surprising that action heroes can become Governators, many South Pacific islanders view Rambo as a folk hero* or that Chuck Norris -- whose biggest qualifications are shirtless, oiled-up turns in macho-porn like "Missing in Action" and "Delta Force" (Tagline: "They don't negotiate with terrorists... they blow them away! ") -- thinks anyone cares what he has to say about the progress of the war in Iraq.

But Norris, currently visiting troops in Iraq, is doing his part to single-handedly balance out Hollywood's outspoken anti-war critics -- like Sean Penn (who has also had firsthand experience on the ground in Iraq), Martin Sheen and, most recently, Sally Field. While most celeb assessments continue to be bleak and highly critical of the Bush administration, Norris -- in an e-mail to conservative news site WorldNetDaily -- writes: The "surge is working" and "morale is up -- way up!"

Whew.

Nevermind Pentagon reports about deteriorating security and anecdotal evidence that the U.S. presence there is harming, rather than helping, the Iraqi people. When Walker, Texas Ranger speaks, President Bush listens. Now if only Snake Plissken, Xena and RoboCop would just speak up.

Chuck Norris is giving away his age in that picture with his trunks pulled up towards his chin.

He's gonna give one granddaddy of a smackdown.

We need to hear from Airwolf. He's probably out flying a mission right now, dropping 40-pounders left and right.

Airwolf..hahahahaha! good heavens how i love them retro references!
has rambo come out yet? on the war, on the war, for pete's sake.

what does it say about me that i used to watch both walker texas ranger AND dr. quinn medicine woman?
i also loved american gladiators.

it should have been a sure indicator that i'd love flavor/rock of love and want to try out for flavor of love 3 as my next career move.

Why is Chuck Norris bothering the soldiers in Iraq? I have friends over there and the last thing they need is old action hero talking b.s.

GI Joe with the kung fu crip is more useful than Chuck Norris.

lisa1 is right. my son is in iraq and he says his men need more jessica simpson and less kathy griffin.

Seeing as how:

1.France surrendered after one episode of Walker: Texas Ranger aired in the country

2. The Soviet Union broke up after a Delta Force marathon

3. Chuck Norris is the second leading cause of death in America

Why don't we just send Chuck Norris out in the field in Iraq to fight insurgents (or anyone else who gets in his way).

Posted by: michael | September 19, 2007 11:58 AM

good idea, michael. now if only we can get tony little and his ponytail to Iraq.

There are only two good things about Chuck Norris:

1) Chuck Norris Facts
2) Bruce Lee beat him up -- big time.

Take Tony. Leave the ponytail.

I guess one could infer Sally Field is against this war, but you can't get there from her comments alone. She has even said she didn't have a political agenda, just some random thought that women were less likely to start wars.

Posted by: Anonymous | September 19, 2007 12:43 PM

Ahh yes... Norris - who glorifies the Texas Rangers - a group of murderers and rapists so vile the mexicans their name stands 150 years after the mexican-american war as an object of hatred (ask someone in the valley - they still talk about it). The Rangers raped, they killed, they'd shoot up innocent women and children not getting out of their way. Scouts for the US military engaged in a war of aggression over resources...

Sure Chuck likes what we're doing in Iraq - hell - his next show can be "Walker, Blackwater Security Consultant".

The joy of Celebritology is that it is a break from the politics of Washington. It works best when the writer and the commenters check their Iraq opinions at the door (or leave them in The Trail).

Cliff (from Cheers)
Arnold S.
Charles Barkley (although he's now anti-GOP)
One of the Zucker brothers
Pat Sajak
Al Michaels
Bruce Willis (also shying away from Republican label now)
Ted Nugent
Gene Simmons
Sonny Bono
Steve Largent
Toby Keith (claims to be a Dem now that war is obvious failure, but voted for Bush in 2004; attacked Dixie Chicks)
Merv Griffin
Charlton Heston
Frank Sinatra
Sammy Davis, Jr.
John Wayne
Drew Carey
Charlie Daniels
Bo Derek
Joe Gibbs
John Elway
Curt Schilling
Patricia Heaton
Kelsey Grammer
The guy who played Jesus in Passion of Christ
Most of the Imus in the Morning staff
Wayne NEwton
Tom Sellek
JC Watts
Most country music singers

Okay, this is going to draw lots of ire, but how come we give standing ovations when Brad Pitt has something to say about Katrina victims but tell Chuck Norris to get off the stage when he has something to say about Iraq War? Lots of people said it's always good when celebrities use their status for worthwhile causes, but if Chuck Norris really believes this is helping, can't we let him have that opinion (and respectfully disagree)? What if it weren't Chuck but someone like George Clooney? Seems kinda like a double standard to me, even if I'm pro-Brad/helping Katrina victims, anti-Chuck/Iraq War.

I don't think you can equate raising money for/managing projects to help victims of Hurricane Katrina with saying the surge is working or that the war is a good idea. Unless Chuck Norris is going to sign up to go start roundhouse kicking Iraqi insurgents to death, I don't think he's really going to have any impact on anything. If he thinks the war will suddenly turn around because Chuck Norris said it's going well, he's just delusional. And we shouldn't encourage delusional celebrities. Even if they do make for good Celebritology posts (see: Britney Spears)

perhaps there would be fewer Ids if Celebritology was not just a forum to showcase "the methinks & byoolin show". if that's what we're all here for, then perhaps Liz should step aside, because she's not as good a Celebritologist as byoolin is witty.

byoolin's comments are better than yours. He also gets far more readers here than on his blog, plus the immediate gratification of an audience, feeding his already big ego. So sit back, and enjoy Celebritology with Methinks and Byoolin!

Posted by: Fred | September 19, 2007 10:52 PM

Forget "Walker" - Chuck Norris is a legit tough guy. He has the respect of anyone who pays enough attention to look beyond the TV persona. I'll listen to him before I listen to any overly sensitive soul who can't accept that all the world's people don't want to share a group hug.

Look at it this way: Real-life fighting in any form scares most creative people half-to-death. When was the last time you saw an art history major kicking someone's ass? I'm not saying it's impossible, but the more creative someone generally is, the more afraid of violence they are. In the everyday world, this is perfectly normal, since violence is usually a sad failure of civilized behavior to solve a problem.

But sometimes violence is required to defend something important against people who would use violence to destroy it. Because of his often-cheesy acting projects, people forget Chuck Norris has an INCREDIBLE fighting history - he was the first Westerner in the documented history of Tae Kwon Do (that's a LONG damn time) to achieve the rank of 8th Degree Black Belt Grand Master. This is someone who has trained for decades under the concept of using force to defend oneself against aggressors. Someone like that is more likely to understand the necessity of combat, and his opinion deserves to be taken more seriously than someone like Sally Field.

Then again, if you actually listen to Sally Field when she's not talking about acting, then you probably are beyond help anyway.

Posted by: John M. | September 20, 2007 7:15 AM

I'll take your word that an 8th degree black belt is an impressive thing, but it does NOT, in any way, make him enough of a military expert to access whether or not the surge/war is working. Has he ever been a solider, I mean out of character?

Why would any sane person think Chuck Norris has the answers anymore than Sally Field does? Senators Jim Webb and John Kerry, both former military men, happen to disagree with good ol' Chucky boy. They say the surge has simply been effective in moving violence elsewhere, that it is time for things to change, timelines to be set, benchmarks kept, etc. So, thanks, but I'll take their word over Chuck's black belt.

P.S. I know a female, S. Korean art history student who could totally kick your as$.

Give the man a uniform, an inadequate weapon and put him on an unarmored humvee, on patrol with real soldiers for, oh I don't know 15 months and then refuse to send HIM home, then let's see what he thinks about the whole thing.

Posted by: Mike Grello | September 20, 2007 6:15 PM

When I saw Norris sit in for someone of Fox noise one night while I was channel surfing, I swore I would never watch another one of his movies. And I haven't. Another mindless moron.

Posted by: fubar | September 20, 2007 9:05 PM

Chuck's failed attempt to become a serious and good actor bases on his lack of talent and intelligent. And now, after wasting his life with stupid movies, he tries giving his life a sense. Another failed attempt.

Another big drug maker, Pfizer, for example, was harshly criticized in 2001 for reporting that its painkiller Celebrex caused fewer ulcers than older drugs after six months of use. Pfizer’s study had originally been designed — but failed — to show that Celebrex caused fewer ulcers after a full year of use. Yesterday, Merck and Schering said they did not yet know the results of the trial. They said they were changing the endpoint only because they want to be able to analyze the data more quickly. A panel of outside scientists recommended the change last Friday, said Lee Davies, a spokesman for Schering. Mr. Davies declined to disclose the members of the panel. Dr. Howard Weintraub, the clinical director of the New York University center for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, said cardiologists were especially concerned about the trial’s results because Zetia works...http://coolnews-4u.com/

Add UV radiation from the sun, and the magnitude of sorting out what is truly carcinogenic becomes evident. Aging is a major cause of cancer, associated not just with chemicals, but a normal process called telomere shortening. So, except for high exposure workers, it is completely unfounded to claim that there exists a chemically driven cancer epidemic. Accusing cancer researchers of choosing not to address prevention shows a lack of understanding of the biology of cancer. To infer that the interest in therapeutics derives from the fact that cancer treatment has somehow become an industry is to be misinformed.
