Well, well, well, I guess we have another traitor coming out of Hollywood..this one moved to France. They hate the USA, but love the money! No one has to go see "Pirates of the Caribbean" and I'm sure I won't now! Johnny Depp Likens U.S. to 'Dumb Puppy' Wed Sep 3, 4:04 PM ET BERLIN - Actor Johnny Depp (news) likened the United States to a "dumb puppy that has big teeth" in an interview published Wednesday, ridiculing Washington's confrontation with France, where he lives, over the war in Iraq (news - web sites). The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star — who spends much of his time in the south of France with his companion, Vanessa Paradis (news), and their two children — told the German magazine Stern he couldn't see himself paying more than short visits to his Los Angeles residence in the present political climate. "America is dumb, is something like a dumb puppy that has big teeth — that can bite and hurt you, aggressive," Depp was quoted as saying. Depp recalled that French fries were renamed "Freedom fries" in the House cafeteria on Capitol Hill at the height of U.S. anger over France's refusal to back the administration of President Bush (news - web sites) over the war in Iraq. "Nothing made me happier than when I read that — grown men and grown women in positions of power in the United States government," Depp said. "I was ecstatic because they revealed themselves as idiots." Depp said he wanted his two children, ages 1 and 4, to experience the United States "like it's a kind a toy — a broken toy maybe. Investigate a little bit, check it out, get this feeling and then get out."
