A Stone's throw

So who’s dumber, bubble-headed actress Sharon Stone or the thugs who write propaganda for the Chinese communist government?

I blog, you decide.

Stone kicked off the contest when she tried to think Deep Thoughts about Tibet.

“I’m not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else,” she said. “And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?”

Wow. Apparently, the star who peaked in “Basic Instinct” doesn’t know that Chinese communists have been trashing human rights since the day they took power.

If the Chinese Politburo was smart, which it is not, it would have ignored Sharon’s ramblings. Or released a list of her terrible movies, which is most of ’em.

Instead, the official Xinhua News Agency said she was the “public enemy of all mankind.”

Uh, gee, comrade, isn’t that a bit strong? Like a million times too strong?

Especially since Stone said she was “deeply sorry” for her remarks — even though that could imply that Tibetans were not oppressed, which indeed they are.

Yikes. The U.N. should broker a treaty here:

Communist party bosses agree to ease off in Tibet, and Stone swears never to participate in a “Basic Instinct III.”
