During the screening for his latest film at the Toronto Film Festival, Harvey Weinstein extended an invitation to tea partiers:

… prior to the start of the screening, the sexy actress Olivia Wilde, who plays a supporting role in the film, approached the podium and read the following statement fromHarvey Weinstein (whose studio, the Weinstein Co., will release the film on a date still to be determined) to roars of laughter from the audience…

“In 20 years of coming to the Toronto Film Festival, I’ve never released a statement for a film. But I would like to take this moment to formally invite Republican Congresswoman from Minnesota and Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann to co-host with me the big premiere of Butter in Iowa in a few months from now. I know Michele will already be in Iowa for the caucus, so we can save some money on airfare and travel. I would, of course, be more than happy to fly in the other leading members of the Tea Party movement to make an entire day of it. We could take some math classes in the morning to help balance the budget, brush up on the Constitution in the afternoon, play some ping-pong, and then maybe some verbal ping-pong on gay rights and women’s rights (especially the right to choose). But at night we can all go hand-in-hand to the premiere of Butter, a fun and important film where we’ll share some popcorn and laughs. These are the kind of bipartisan effort that makes America great. I look forward to hearing from Michele, and I’m particularly looking forward to those classes on the Constitution. All my best, Harvey.”

I accepted Weinstein’s invitation this morning.

I don’t speak for Bachmann or other tea party leaders, but I for one would love to help Mr. Weinstein brush up on his knowledge of the Constitution. I’d also like to introduce him to the Cut, Cap, and Balance pledge, the bipartisan proposal aimed at balancing the budget and reducing spending that Harry Reid and President Obama declared DOA out of the House. Additionally, I’d love to discuss individual rights and hear Mr. Weinstein clarify whose choice he supports (since more than one individual is involved in a pregnancy) because I’m sure he, like me, is dedicated to a fair acknowledgement of everyone’s rights in the matter. Most importantly, I would love to do all of this and then share a giant bucket of popcorn with him at the premiere of “Butter,” because there isn’t anything I love more than salted cheesiness and a bipartisan appreciation for cinema. Go America!

I can be reached at dloesch@breitbart.com. I look forward to hearing from you, Mr. Weinstein, should you come across this!

All the best,
