Instapundit: [Castro fan] OLIVER STONE suffers an in-person Fisking at the hands of Ann Louise Bardach. Read the whole thing.

Chicago Boyz: If you're naive it's easy to conclude that leftist cultural icons like Stone have some special insight. After all, they seem so confident in their views, and so many people in the press treat them deferentially. But it can take nothing more than a few pointed questions to make clear that a famous maker of politically themed movies is an ignorant fool. What's remarkable is how seldom journalists ask such questions. But once in a while someone does, and once in a while the interviewee lets his guard down and the celebrity balloon deflates. (I give Stone credit for risking a hostile interview. Famous leftists like Barbra Streisand, who issues proclamations on her web site but otherwise shirks open debate, deserve even less respect.)

The Agitator: If there's a just God, Stone will rot in hell when he dies.

Mahalanobis: Bury him next to Michael Moore.
