James Woods was just on CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch. I'm not sure why he was there, but Deutsch, an annoying and abrasive New Yorker, got him to say a few things of interest:

1. Deutsch was asking Mr. Woods about his opinion of the ABC program, Desperate Housewives. Woods said something nice about the whole thing, and noted that although he hadn't dated Nicolette Sheridan, he liked "British chicks". James Woods, you just went up another notch in my estimation.

2. He repeated his story about seeing, on a flight earlier in 2001, some of the al-Qaeda operatives who would later pilot various aircraft into military and commercial targets inside the continental United States on 11 September 2001. I either had never heard that story, or had heard it so long ago that I had forgotten, and I found it somewhat amazing.

However, the people at Snopes have found this story credible, so go figure.

Lastly, Mr. Woods had the following points to say about mayors of New York City:

-Under David Dinkins, New York City was like Beirut in the 1970s.
-[Former Mayor Rudolph] Giuliani was/is a great leader who saved NYC, both on 11 September and in the time prior. Furthermore, he was a great statesman, etc. In addition, Giuliani will be a great President after 2008.

---

Well, I'll say this: I think more of James Woods than I did prior to this interview, but I must disagree with him on Mr. Giuliani's Presidential prospects; I'll not vote for him in a primary. Social issues matter, Mr. Mayor, and you're on the wrong side of a couple of mine.
