Hollywood Libs: Listen to us, we is smart


Barbra Streisand, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Danny Glover, Martin Sheen, Jessica Lange, Ed Asner, Joanne Woodward, and of course, 'Hanoi Jane' Fonda top the list of celebrities trying to use the 'bully pulpit' to voice their liberal bed-wetting appeasement agenda.

Babs started off by sending a letter to Dick 'Gebhardt' that looked like it was written by a third grader. She continued by hosting an elite Democratic fund raiser in which she blasted the Bush administration in song. As if that wasn't enough, she went on to embarrass herself by crediting Shakespeare for a quote that most people immediately recognized as an internet hoax. On her website she even proudly proclaims that she "find(s) the shrinking ozone layer and the melting icecaps frightening". Oh, how does she sleep at night?

Meanwhile, Jessica Lange, of 'Tootsie' and 'King Kong' fame, said she "hates" Bush and described his call for an attack on Iraq as "unconstitutional, immoral and illegal." Susan Sarandon, who keeps her Oscar in the bathroom, recently told reporters at an Edinburgh festival that she doesn't "think that a military expansion of violence is the solution." Mr. Sarandon (aka Tim Robbins) would not go on record, but simply nodded in unconscious agreement.

The London Telegraph reports that Liam Neeson, who once lived with Julia Roberts, "accused the President of behaving like a spoilt child," and John Travolta "admitted that he did not know what to think." I guess L. Ron Hubbard doesn't have an answer for this one, now does he Barbarino?

Of course there are old favorites like Alec Baldwin threatening to leave the country if Bush ever got elected. Despite several offers for free passage, he's yet to leave. And who can forget what Julia 'Mr. Ed' Roberts (who didn't even thank the real Erin Brockovich for her Oscar) said about George W. Bush: "The man's embarrassing. He's not my president and he never will be either." She also chimed in on the indiscretion of the Bush daughters: "We all need to take a deep breath and think about being a Bush daughter and having that cross to bear. I'd go out and have a couple of drinks, too."

Back on the singer/diva front, Cher once asked, "If you're black in this country, if you're a woman in this country, if you are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican?" Gee Cher, perhaps some individuals actually have the capacity for rational thought.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who gets about $150,000 per episode of 'Sex and the City', and is married to Mathew Broderick once whined that her family would be on welfare if the Bush tax cuts went through. "I'm very, very concerned about the Bush presidency. I'm worried about the kinds of cuts in domestic programs that mean something to a lot of people, including members of my family, who depend on certain things from the government," whined Parker. Michelle Malkin asks "Why are Parker's family members depending on the government for anything? Sell off some of your Italian leather goods, skip the Oscars this year, and take Grandma and Grandpa out to Spago before their Spam runs out."

All is not lost, however. Some Hollywood celebrities are tired of being lumped in with the limousine liberals, and are starting to come out of their shell. We aren't exactly back to the conservative days of John Wayne, or the days of Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable flying bombing missions during World War II, but it's a start.

Harrison Ford recently declared support for President Bush's right to defend America. Tom Cruise was quoted as saying, "but I believe that Saddam has committed many crimes against humanity and against his own people," while Steven Spielberg noted that "If Bush, as I believe, has reliable information on the fact that Saddam Hussein is making weapons of mass destruction, I cannot not support the policies of his government." Spielberg, however, must have had reservations later on, because he back-tracked a bit and declared, "It was never my intention to give an endorsement of any kind."

Perhaps the greatest support came from R. Lee Ermy, best known for his portrayal of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. He pointed out that liberal celebrities don't speak for everyone, and said that "Barbra Streisand has opened her alligator-sized mouth wide before her humming-bird brain has had a chance to catch up."

My overall thoughts are that celebrities need to know when to keep their fucking mouths shut. Many celebrities never even finished high school, and their greatest achievement is looking pretty, or learning to read a cue card. Sure, you may have a good set of lungs, but your fame and fortune don't lend credence to the garbage you spew. In fact, I think just the opposite. Your incoherent ramblings and off-stage antics actually detract from any acting/singing/looking-pretty ability that you may possess.

Now shut the hell up and dance for me, you trained monkey.

Well Done! Did you catch Eric Roberts on FOX yesterday? He was so committed to his loony left views he had to read them of a sheet of paper...

I caught an interview with Sarah Jessica Parker in which she was explaining why she and hubby Matthew Broderick always seemed to be working. "We have bills to pay," she said, "and we have no other skills."

Write your own joke.

Apparently that is the only thing the Roberts family can agree on. He and Julia have been feuding rather publically in recent years.

I laugh at Hollywood for thinking that their self-important views actually mean anything to us. For the most part, and I've ranted about this before, I realized that I couldn't believe a damn thing any of these people said when Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon made their big plea for all of us to help Haitians with AIDS during their Academy Awards presentation years ago. Excuse me, people. There are plenty of people in this country who are without health care and you want us to bring people from other countries here and fund their treatments? Tell you what.....you're the ones who make all that money standing around looking pretty. You do it.

Okay. I'm done. Steve, would you care for your soapbox back?
