Charlize Theron Hates Democracy

Or at least that’s the spin that CNN tried to put on an interview where the Oscar winner went a little wobbly in her argumentation and CNN reporter Rick Sanchez went a little FOX news on her ass.

Charlize was promoting a new documentary on Cuban Rappers called ‘East of Havana” (which she co-produced) and didn’t respond very smoothly to Sanchez’s questions about the lack of freedom in Cuba. The clip reads like there was a little slippage between asking about lack of artistic freedom and lack of freedom with a capital F. The capital F you get in Freedom Fries — with a Happy Meal of phone tapping and a Snowflake Baby McFlurry.

She got snappy, he smelled blood, she got nervous — and things went downhill quickly.

When Sanchez said, “It Sounds like you don’t have a very high opinion of th United States,” Charlize responded ‘Oh My God no! You’re so wrong. I absolutely love it. Why do you think I live in the United States?”

Politics are hard.

As the interview began to make her look confused, Charlize then strangely blurted out: “I want to make out with you right now.” Sanchez, 48, ignored the comment on camera and later called it “a way for a beautiful woman to get a guy to change the subject.”

We’ll have to see if Charlize’s long term boyfriend, Stuart Townsend, agrees with that professional news analysis. Townsend, a notorious brawler with a temper might just be texting Kimora Lee for backup as we speak.

Lets go to the videotape:
