Oliver Stone takes a cheap shot at Sarah Palin

*
One of the things we like about Sarah Palin is that she makes the right kind of enemies, including Castro-loving Hollyweird director and cheap shot artist Oliver Stone, according to lefty rag NY Daily News:
"She won't shake my hand," Stone told us with a grin at Tuesday's Time 100 gala, where the right wing pinup and the left wing filmmaker crossed paths.

"I couldn't care less," he shrugged. Except that he thinks "she is such a liar."

Stone recalled that in "Going Rogue" - "that book her handlers wrote for her" - Palin claimed she had refused to shake his hand when they met backstage at "Saturday Night Live."

"But she did shake my hand," Stone insisted.

Palin stuck to her story, telling us, "I didn't shake his hand then or tonight."

We asked her about suggestions, from people like Stone, that her beloved "everyday Americans" might have trouble relating to her reported $100,000 speaking fees and demands for Lear jets.

"These stories were kind of annoying about what I asked for - bendable straws and goofy things like that," she said. "It's also bogus how much money I supposedly make."

Pointing to her black lace dress, she said, "This is a consignment shop piece. You can ask [my husband] Todd. He'll say, 'Really, where is all that money?' We live in Wasilla, Alaska. You can't get more grounded than that."
"Right wing pinup?" Who writes this misogynist moose manure at The News? Anyway, we know that Stone's good friends Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez did shake Stone's hand.

While talking to the NYDN, Stone called President Obama's buddies at Goldman Sachs "pigs" and said that his pal and subject of a coming Stone flick, Fidel Castro, is "very mellow and bright."
