This Also Seems to Be a Democratic Theme

Will stars in Denver help or hurt Obama?
Democrats weigh benefit of having ‘sparklies’ too close to candidate

..."I don't think it's fair to lump all celebrities together," Sunshine adds. "Most serious celebrities don't pretend to be anything more than activists and good citizens. Why should Ben Affleck be penalized just because he's an actor and a director? He's smarter, more articulate, better read on foreign policy than 98 percent of us."


And so's Obama himself, Joe Biden will gladly tell you heis vis a vis La Streisand, while Madonna just puts on picture shows at her concerts so your average MOH-ron voter can figure it out. (Or Gwynnie, for that matter?)



If you don't acknowledge the omnipotence and inevitability of audacity, then you're acting like a mad Japanese soldier and it's really because you're just stupid. 98% stupider than Ben Affleck.

Told you so.

The genuinely scary part is that those morons actually believe the nonsense they spew.

By the way, who's responsible for clearing dead hookers out of Afflek's room this week?

That's a SMEAR. A schmear is what you put on a bagel. :-p

And, considering my foreign policy expertise and familiarity with lumps of dough all around the world, I declare YOU to be 98% STOOPIDER than the first guy. (Not 100% stoopider, because he had "Guns" in his nom de plume.) (That's French, like this fine art picture of me.)

I'm so glad I'm not a celebrity. Because if I were, I'd have to kiss politician butt-cheek and pretend my opinions mattered more than other people.

That "Happy Bunny" sticker is spot-on for how I feel about the upcoming election season.

Aw, someone's still smarting ever since J-Lo kicked him in the jimmy and chucked him to the curb.

Are you still sleeping on Kevin Smith's couch, Benny?
