If people think Esquire, or publications/sites like it, are a reputable publication(s), they need to check out other times where the people that write for them have misquoted celebrities, twisted things around, or sometimes downright lied about their subject.

http://www.snopes.com/racial/business/claiborne...

http://www.snopes.com/racial/business/hilfiger.asp

http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/grouchocigar.asp

In all three cases and possibly more, quotes were attributed to celebrities that were twisted around or completely false, and some even tried to claim a tape existed of the interview. In the case of fashion designers Liz Claiborne and Tommy Hilfiger, they reportedly went on Oprah and made racist remarks.

The media went wild about these stories...the problem?

*Both Liz and Tommy NEVER appeared on Oprah prior to these stories being written about them, although Tommy did go on to clear his name at a later date.

If Esquire and other publications like it have been PROVEN to lie, then why is it so hard for people to believe that Val Kilmer is also a victim here.

Obviously, Esquire is not going to admit to having lied, and if they have such taped evidence, then why didn't they produce it from the onset?

Cheers, Michael

New Mexico voters can assess the character and truthfulness of their potential gubernatorial candidate here: Val Kilmer Insults Vets. Links from there will take you to Kilmer's response and Esquire's.

I MUST agree with Thomas_James. Even if Val Kilmer were to agree with me on all issues, I might tend to avoid giving him my vote, just for this attitude. I would hope in the extreme for a primary in which we could bump him out. This is just too much.

I've lived here for well more than half my life (since '74). I THINK I deserve to say, I would prefer someone who's been here MUCH longer and has a more New Mexican attitude. Gimme break!

This is just too rich. Please Val, run. We really could use the entertainment. No matter that by 2010–after finally shedding ourselves of another bloated prima donna–New Mexicans would never consider making a big baby celebrity whose understanding of legislative issues is a shallow as the Rio Puerco our new governor. You gotta run Val just because your ego won't let you not run. Get out that checkbook, though, because we love to see fat cats buy themselves fancy gee gaws. But realistically, we're more likely to vote Jessica Alba for governor than the star of the worst Batman movie ever made. Please run Val, please. If nothing else at least it's a way to get you to the polls (you don't seem to vote very often).
