- This is great. Viacom's chairman said "His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount," but they just made him a substantial offer a couple of weeeks ago. In other words, his recent conduct would have been perfectly acceptable to Paramount at a lower price tag.
- Look at it another way. Redstone said "His recent conduct has not been acceptable ...", but did not define which "recent conduct." The media assumed he meant the stuff THEY care about, like couch-jumping, but the conduct Redstone really meant was Cruise's conduct of asking for more money than they were willing to pay him!
- In other words, Sumner Redstone gets the 2006 Tucker Carlson award for the most disingenuous statement of the year!
- Yeah, I know it might be more appropriate to call it the Ann Coulter award, but I've come to conclude than Coulter is NOT disingenuous. She's basically just a comic entertainer who earns a good living by pretending to be a windbag, ala Stephen Colbert.
