Antonio Banderas blames Bush

Yesterday, Banderas spoke to European media. He blamed Bush for the USA financial crisis. The only reason bearing that declaration is Bush' exaggerated liberalism. On the other hand, we may read an opposite point of view in the recent John Cornyn's pronouncement, asserting that Bill Clinton let his partner Rick Noriega advocate the financial abuse at Fannie Mae.


It is interesting to compare both statements, one blaming Republicans and the other Democrats. Antonio Banderas is a foreign actor meanwhile John Cornyn is the junior United States Senator from Texas. Banderas' accusation lacks foundation yet John Cornyn's seems to have a kind of line of reasoning.

What do you think would be Banderas role in Plato's Gorgias?

This is my point: Gorgias states that a performance (and Banderas is a good actor) is actually more convincing in front of an ignorant audience (Banderas' declaration was made offshore USA) than an expert, because mastery of the tools of persuasion (Hollywood) gives a man more firepower than mere facts (John Cornyn's statements).

You just think. And don't let Hollywood think for you.
