Roger Simon: An Idiot’s Schadenfreude
Anyone up for their daily blogosphere irony?
The Wet-panted one, stroking himself into doltish ecstasy, cackling over Spike Lee’s supposedly failed film career:
From the NY Daily News: New Orleans will be on camera again soon, filmmaker Spike Lee told CNN. Lee is planning to make a documentary for HBO on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina - and Lee said his film will even consider whether the government’s response was deliberately slow.
“I don’t find it too far-fetched that they tried to displace all the black people out of New Orleans,” he said.
At first glance it sounds as if Spike has had a lobotomy. But the truth is the poor guy’s feature career is over and he has to drum up a little work here. Can you imagine Spike Lee in a race blind society?
From IMDB.com:
Inside Man (2006)

Let’s see, Spike Lee has a feature film with Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, and Willem Dafoe coming out next year.
True, it’s no Gina Gershon and Rade Serbedzija. . .
The last entry for “Roger Simon” on imdb is in 1998, for the notoriously unwatched “Prague Duet.” Talk about stones and glass houses.
