Tom Cruise Speechless Over Jett Travolta's Death

 
Scheduling conflicts kept Travolta family friends Oprah Winfrey and Tom Cruise from being able to attend the funeral of the late son of John Travolta and Kelly Preston. In fact, Tom was in New York being interviewed on The View.

On the show today, the ladies talked with Tom about his reaction to the death of 16-year-old Jett Travolta. Describing the situation as "horrific," Cruise told Barbara Walters, "I just don't have the words for it."

During the program, Tom said, "I remember Jett when he was born. I saw him when he was just a few months old and John just adored him, and both of his children, and Kelly."

What the Cavewomen on the View don't know is that Tom is dyslexic. Either that or the Jew Walters hasn't grown a heart, or perhaps sacrificed it to Yahwey long ago.

What is seen here is an incredible insensitivity shown toward Tom by ignorant, small-minded, petty, pathetic blacks and Jews (including Opra and Matt Laura) who see Tom as the big all-powerful White man that they are enslaved by. They blame him for their low opinion of themselves. They feel the urge to bring him down.

Rise above them Tom. Don't let them keep attacking you. Craig Ferguson would love to have you grace his show with your presence. These low-lives are unworthy ingrates. They sit there in front of millions of people a day making a ton of money while trying to humiliate you for any reason whatsoever. Opra's couch is probably worth ten million dollars on ebay but, instead of valuing it as she should, she's complaining moping about her laziness and obesity. Keeping her mouth closed could be the answer she's looking for instead of trying to blame the all-powerful White man.

Walters' shiny white pearls are in very poor taste since she knows she's going to bring up the subject of a death to a man who has met the deceased. Shame on her for trying so desperately to call attention to herself. The Torah, or the Talmud which she apparently loves and is faithful to, seems to not have a chapter on how not to show vanity when asking someone else about a tragedy near to them. Such an inferior book.

Tom is better read than Walters which is apparent by his choice of dress and the heartfelt emotion that he displays. The tears welled-up in his eyes are real. He tried to address the matter while fighting back tears. Walters looks like a cold scrawny vulture.

It was truly outstanding of Tom to use a second to say that Scientology didn't cause Jett's death due to a lack of medicine. That needed to be said not only in Scientology's defense but also in defense of the Travolta's who some might rush to blame for holding "wacky" beliefs when they know next to nothing about the religion. Tom is a true friend, he made the time to explain that medicine wasn't an issue. Tom is man enough to broach this subject again and again. He's amazing.

Now, back to the mindless fluff that many find preferable to truth and reality.

By "they" not knowing a thing about the religion it's meant the others. Walter's might think the others are goys and goyas, but what it means in this context is "they" who would misjudge.

Also, Tom looks wonderfully fit. He's so successful despite having had the hardship of dyslexia.

The Cavewomen on the View have no excuse for their many shortcomings. Their imbicility is self-made and has come from decades of hating others, self-loathing and blaming others for everything.

He's speaking elliptically because he's treading lightly to avoid saying the wrong thing. He's all class.

He is treading lightly as the last time he spoke out about Scientology it almost cost him his career. So, yes, he is being very careful and tearfully remembering Jett Travolta. For Tom Cruise, it is always about being "on" and working his fan base who he always thought was behind him all the way, but missteped on that assumption. You can tell by the look on his face that he does not like Suri hiding her face from the photographers. Tom is all about audience, smiling, shaking hands, signing autographs, getting his PR machine in action. But, I do have to give him tis one, he is always pleasant and restrains himself from showing his true colors.
