After posting the "No More Milk" poem with Jimmy Stewart on Johnny Carson, people were asking to see the "Bo" poem. This is it.(Note: It has been brought to my attention the proper spelling for Bo is actually Beau and the title has been duly corrected. Thanks all :)

Oct 12, 2008 - He was a fucking racist.
LadeeFox Says:
Oct 12, 2008 - Jimmy Stewart was an amazing man and an amazing actor. As gentle and soft spoken in real life as he was on screen. They just don't make movie stars the way they used to. When I was young I was told that this was the poem heard around the world.Not because of the poem...but because it was Jimmy.~~FOX

Oct 12, 2008 - He was a treasure to the screen, talented is an understatement. He had a gentle soul and strong Christian values.I didnt want to acknowledge the idiotic statements (JohnRogersly), but sometimes remarks can offensive and degrading towards people who have spent their lives on camera, on and off screen, and still manage to stay happily married to their FIRST spouse til their death without any public scandal or affair. There's no evidence of racisism, don't throw rocks without looking at yourself.

Oct 12, 2008 - James Stewart was a racist.
macguyver4u Says:
Oct 12, 2008 - unless you know for a fact or have evidence to say that he a racist you shouldn't say it. Obamba and his wife are the only racist my friend.
ObamaRules4Ever Says:
Oct 12, 2008 - Just read what Stewart did to poor black actor Hal Williams. Even his close friends Leonard Gershe, Henry Fonda and Lucille Gipson admitted that Stewart was just as racist as his father Alex before him.
macguyver4u Says:
Oct 12, 2008 - care to provide link? not saying you are wrong Just because the guy black and someone said something that doesn't make him a racist. People are too pc these days.

Oct 12, 2008 - Jimmy Stewart was a good man. How can someone insult one the greatest actors and one of the greatest men ever in hollywood.
da40flyer Says:
Oct 12, 2008 - There are very few things on TV that are truly genuine. This was one of those few moments.
