Just So You Know, James Caan is No 'G**damn Hollywood Liberal'

While attending the HollyShorts Film Festival's opening night, James Caan leveled with a reporter about his political leanings. "I'm not a G** damn Hollywood liberal, I'm not," Caan said, also noting that he only watches Fox News. Go on?

The self-decribed "ultraconservative" then declined to speak about the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8, ("I'll let those other geniuses do that [...] I'll leave it to Sean Penn or Barbara Streisand to comment on that") but brought his homeland security A-game to bear in the most relevant of ways -- by tying it to The Godfather:

"The mafia has been well cracked down on. In terms of National Security, terrorists are our biggest problem," the 70-year-old said. "The mafia made money doing the same job the cities were doing - cloning bids, building buildings... They only kill each other, not that I'm condoning it."

Sorry, what can I say? It's August! This is news.
