Somehow we missed Richard Dreyfuss at CPAC, unfortunately. He was there to promote The Dreyfuss Initiative, some sort of effort to improve civics education in public schools. Human Events got him to sit down for an interview about his political views, and, well, the man seems to be drunk and a little belligerent. But we can’t really fault him for that. Being drunk is pretty much the only way to get through CPAC. Nice hat, Mr. Holland!
It’s time to run, Obama. The Dreyfuss has got your back.
Perhaps this is just Dreyfuss doing some viral marketing for civics education. YOU CAN GET WASTED ON KNOWING THE THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, TEENZ! [Human Events]

What, when you buy a hat like that I bet you get a free bowl of soup.
It looks good on you though.
I think he's on a promotional tour for his remake of City Lights.
I ain't much of a prayin' man, but I am on my tattered knees right now begging you to say you made that up. (Boy, it's hard to type this way!)
Or a Banjo.
Drunk? Drunk? The man's on the middle of a full fledged blackout, which really is the only way to get through a thing like that.
That is how I handle family get togethers with my family…
And to think, I thought he was still alive!
I wonder if Lindsey Graham offered to give him a "breathalyzer" test in the men's room? Wonder what he blew?
The results were "inconclusive." Graham Biscuits will have to retest later.
At least he didn't make any drunken overtures to young Riley.
None that we know of at least.
Andy kept Wags as close as he could.
Yeah…he was marking his territory.
Like NotSoBright Bart would've let him.
After playing Cheney in the movie W, he still can't cope with life after that much evil and thus he stays drunk to hide from it.
Method Acting!
Stanislavksi would be proud.
My favorite movie of his is "The Little Tramp".
That interviewer sucks. He didn't ask one single question about when Down and Out in Beverly Hills 2 is comming out.
FAIL!
As soon as the producers can drag Dreyfus and Nolte out of the swimming pool of Scotch they have both apparently fallen into.
Richard Dreyfus was drunk because he watched all these stupid tools meander around with their idiocy and realized that his plan to improve civics in the public edumacation system was a total fail – already.
I think we're gonna need a bigger hat.
I think we're going to need a bigger scotch.
I think we're gonna need a bigger drunk tank.
Isn't everyone at CPAC drunk and A LOT belligerent? It's the reason for the season, amirite?
No. A significant minority were coked-up and bellicose.
Boy, for a minute there I was afraid he was going to be a BORING drunk.
Are you sure he wasn't just there to offer civics education to the wingnuts, who sadly don't know what the Constitution really says?
Who is the guy interviewing him? Mr. Holland's Doofus?
Hey now! It's great to see Hank Kingsley back in the saddle. And that young man doing the interview! He's erudite enough to be governor of Alaska.
Alllllllce in Wunnerlan indeed, sir. May a recommend the hookah?
That's some bad hat, Harry.
You win.
He seems surprisingly coherent given that the presence of CPAC lowered the IQ of the entire metropolitan area by around 30 points per person.
This is clearly a return to Punk'd by Dax Shepherd. He's playing an MTV News reporter at CPAC.
Mr. French!
He's still recovering from last seasons appearances on "Weeds"
Anti-conservative cage. You go inside the cage?
Cage goes in the CPAC, you go in the CPAC and say you voted Obama. Teatards in the CPAC. Our teatards.
Farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu, you ladies of Spain.
Libo-conservo-rado-middle of the roado?
Dude, it's time for AA. Trust me on this.
He doesn't seem any less sober than Breitbart.
He is less hairy, however.
We should really ask Riley about that.
Show us on the doll, Riley…..
What is it Breitbart claims, ethnically; Jewish & Guatemalan, or something? I'd suggest, depending on whether his guatemalteco side is more "criollo" or "indigena", that he is an hairy, hairy man.
And not good hairy. Terrier hairy. On his face.
His eyes are dead. Like a doll's eyes.
Like a shark's eyes.
He's ready for 'BigHollywood now. Sad to see people you used to admire become like Jon Voight.
He hasn't been the same since he was returned to Devil's Tower.
He was just there to bang Victoria Jackson.
He really needs to get some help to honestly deal with his self-loathing and unholy attraction to Screechy de la Krazy
I schwear to drunk I'm not God occifer.
I'm just going to tell myself he was there out of boredom and just wanted to pitch his initiative (a noble one!).
Someone get him back to Wood's Hole, now.
Is that a trailer for Close Encounters of the Slurred Kind?
They cut out the part when he shapes Herman Cain's head out of mashed potatoes.
Dreyfuss played Cheney? Well, It does take one Dick to play another one.
From stupid Human Events:
His politics are not even on the same planet as mainstream Republicans. After all, he wants the Bush administration tried for "high crimes." In fact, the only way he’d vote against Obama in 2012, he tells HUMAN EVENTS, is if the Republican nominee pledges to indict President Bush and those associated with the Iraqi conflict for war crimes.
WHAT. A. FREAK. So out of touch.
SECURITY!
I know right?!?! Calling for war crimes trials is SO 2006.
Wow, some of you punks can't see when an old progressive actor/activist is punking?
Youngsters! Get thee to the theatre more!
Exactly something Duddy Kravitz would do.
So you're saying Andy Kaufman is NOT dead?
When did Dreyfuss get off Devil's Island?
Today, we are all Dreyfusards.
Hey…didn't you use to be Richard Dreyfus?
Riley, what can you tell us about this Dryefuss Affair? Were you offered a trip to some devil-may-care island in French Guiana?
I thought this movie was ok.
I didn't watch the clip, but I'm guessing he's familiar with the fact that we'll be ignoring the problem of poor civics education until it swims up and bites us in the ASS!
I don't know. It looks like he may have jumped the shark here (Jaws reference, get it?).
J'accuse!
His life has taken a downturn since he robbed that post office for Nancy.
Party on TURKEY!!!
No sober person wears a bowler.
Lena Olin, or is she the exception that proves the rule?
Swedes don't count.
♫ Show me the way to go home
I'm *slurred grunt* and I wanna go to bed
I heard a speech by Bachmann about an hour ago
And it electric shocked my head ♫
I want to see Dreyfuss and Hasselhoff drunk-eating cheeseburgers on the floor together.
Still trying in vain to hook up with that mystery blonde in the T-Bird. In this case it turned out to be Coulter; hence the remedial inebriation.
Drinking makes you fun, charming, and cool.
Statistically speaking, drinking makes women seem fun, charming and cool to men. It doesn't matter whether the man or the woman does the drinking.
And all women are better looking at closing time.
"AHHHH! The French champagne has always been celebrated for its excellence…"

This guy is an embarassing blowhard no matter how drunk he is. He is a LTMMC*, and should be banned from any kind of electronic communication that is not fictitious.
*Liberal That Makes Me Cringe
Yes, yes and yes. He gets put on the same list as Roseanne after she started trying to spout things she gleaned from Noam Chomsky. (I'm not joking.)
Duddy Kravitz needs more apprenticing.
He is perpetually drunk out of the shame of knowing that his own nasally, assholish voice and persona helped shape Glenn Beck's grating act.
who else would you rather see drunk at CPAC?
Booze over Parador
This is what happens when you let actors wander off without a script.
If a man continually fails to be photographed with his pate showing, baldness may be safely inferred (cf. Michaels, Bret, and McGuinn, Roger, just off the top of my head (so to speak)).
Well, he's been bald since the 1980s…so you'd be right in a kind of obvious sort of way.
To be fair, you have to be drunk to wear a bowler hat. It makes your head seem like someone's dropped a bowling ball on it, and not in a nice way. Dufuss has merely been savaged by his hat and his mustache.
Wow! Alcohol does wonders for people! Is there a chance that Dreyfuss was in town for some other event, and just got booked at the Wardman Park hotel as a coincidence? Why on earth would Richard Dreyfuss be at CPAC–even to promote some education thing? Why? Why did Dreyfuss look like that? Who wears a hat like that? What on earth was he talking about? What was he drinking? And why did he sound like Heath Ledger as the Joker in "The Dark Knight?" What a bizarre interview.
I'm with you- I think it was an act or a joke(the hat must be part of a costume)
Sopers….it's what I know it would take to get me to CPAC….
He needs to get into that 12 Baby Steps program.
At least he didn't spend the whole conference driving around looking for Suzanne Somers.
Did no one notice that part two concludes with conservative outlet Human Events ABRUPTLY cutting away when Dreyfuss starts talking about bringing the Bush Administration up on "charges for high crimes and…."
Epically awkward editorial work there, boys.
Old Western remakes are kinda popular these days. He's just staying ready for when the producers of the new Wyatt Earp movie need to cast Bat Masterson.
