Kerry supporter Natalie Portman

Actress Natalie Portman, sporting a yellow T-shirt featuring a John Kerry photo with the "That 70s Show" font, praised Kerry as having "the perfect combination of compassion, intelligence, and composure. I'm a huge fan."

[Tailgunner Joe]

Is your point that she got her start in a French pedophile movie?

[rwfromkansas]

I only watch before the guests come on.

[Thrusher]

This really saddens me. Why are so many talented actors and actresses so vapid? And yes, I think Portman is talented, despite her dismal turns in Star Wars I and II.

Natalie Portman bashes Bush on David Letterman

Guess her "acting" career is about done, then, so she can join the likes of Carol O'Connor, Julia Roberts, Alec Baldwin, Sean "The Reporter in Baghdad" Penn, Whoopi Goldberg, et al.

Scott Ritter:

14 you say? Hmmm... Sorry, but I have to...ur...run an errand. Yeh, run an errand.

(Scott Ritter dashes out the door. Heads straight to underage Internet chat room.)

[johnfrink]

Hey, Caroll O'Connor is dead! I hope Natalie doesn't join him anytime soon!

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Archie Bunker:

Gone but not forgotten. Ain't dat right Edit'?

[LadyPilgrim]

You know, you are a pretty good poet.

.................He warned the battle would be long
and many would forget............

THAT IS TRUE!!! They have forgotten!

ALL THE dems HAVE DEM...ENTIA!!!!!!!

Scott Ritter:

Who you callin' a pedophile?(!)

[Calvin Locke]

I must have been thinking about the girl from Spiderman..

I don't think she's the sharpest tool in the shed, either.

Saw her briefly on that John Edwards show that isn't about suing doctors.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Thanks. I was trying to think of that one.

Yes, she was quite good in Beautiful Girls, as well. I just preferred The Professional.

(Enjoyed Uma Thurman in Beautiful Girls also, but the whole thing is ruined now by the presence of Rosie O'Donnell in that film.)

[bellas_sister]

She also said "Bush is on vacation right now and he's the only President in history to take so many vacation days." "Why don't we give him his dream and in Nov. give him a really long vacation."

Something like that, just from memory.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

...so she can join the likes of Carol O'Connor...

Did you mean Ed Asner?

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Peter Boyle:

Ed Asner's a bum!

[Spyder]

He rips on Republicans with all the stereotypes and raises the liberals to ivory towers.... it's damn annoying and now I wish him to lose his show.

He sure didn't last night though. Portman came off as ridiculous, giggling continuously. She kept trying to drag the subject back to Bush bashing and Letterman kept changing the subject. He didn't give her any hint that he agreed with her and just seemed to want to get her back to talking about her new movie. The only pro-DNC thing Letterman sais was that as a comedian he really dreaded losing Bill Clinton, but Teresa gave him new hope.

The Letterman I saw last night was much more of a DNC bashing than Bush bashing. Their "man on the scene" for the convention was hiliarious, having ducked out for pizza before the Edwards speech and making a lot of references to the sheer boredom of the events.

Biff:

Hey Mcfly!

(Giving Michael J. Fox "nuggies.")

Anybody home?(!)

Natalie Portman bashes Bush on David Letterman


Oh so ie., Portman has a movie to sell and needs free press.

[Calvin Locke]

I'm Jimmy Kimmel'd out. That, and I heard more entertaining skits on football from somebody's not-so-bright idea to have
porn stars do the picks.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Still don't know her.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I don't know if I'm artsy enough to be called a poet. I have a knack for rhyming but I really prefer song lyrics. Here is my favorite parody. The Little Old Commie from Massachusetts. by Jan and Dean

It’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.

Music intro

The Little Old Commie form Massachusetts.
No Kerry, No Kerry, No Kerry No.
He’s not worried bout his record cause he has two sets.
No Kerry, No Kerry, No Kerry No.
He as slip’ry as grease up in DC town,
He will vote the bill up and then he’ll vote it back down.

Chorus:

And everybody’s saying that he offers the most threats.
That’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.
He takes both sides, yes he takes both sides.
He’s the biggest dang liar up in DC Town.
He’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.

It’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.
If you hear him speakin out don’t pay attention.
No Kerry, No Kerry, No Kerry No
In a minute or so he’ll just change direction
No Kerry, No Kerry, No Kerry No
The man aint trusted in either House.
Cause he always talks out both sides of his mouth.

Chorus:

And everybody’s saying that he offers the most threats.
That’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.
He takes both sides, yes he takes both sides.
He’s the biggest dang liar up in DC Town.
He’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.

Musical Interlude:

No Kerry, No Kerry, No Kerry No
No Kerry, No Kerry, No Kerry No
We need to send him home to his heiress wife.
Cause he’s got no business in public life.

Chorus:

And everybody’s saying that he offers the most threats.
That’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.
He takes both sides, yes he takes both sides.
He’s the biggest dang liar up in DC Town.
He’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.

No Kerry, No Kerry, No Kerry, No
No Kerry, No Kerry, No Kerry, No
No Kerry, No Kerry, No Kerry, No
No Kerry, No Kerry, No Kerry, No

Did I need to see last night's episode in order to understand your attempt at humor, or am I just not getting it, period?

[Christian4Bush]

I have an idea, that might be up-thread...

Since nothing can deter me from being a Star Wars fan, and as I believe that President Bush will be re-elected, when Episode III comes out in May of 2005 (four months after W's re-inauguration), when her character first comes on the screen, perhaps I might yell out "FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!"

...or not...

[The Scourge of Yazid]

People in Wisconsin don't get me.

(Shrug.)

[Conspiracy Guy]

Put it on your calendar so you don't forget. May 2005

[brewcrew]

Nope. Guess not.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

The fact that a 20 year old NYC college student is a Dem, celebrity or not, doesn't really bother me.

I'm more perturbed by Dave Letterman's increasingly evident willingness to allow his show to be the late night comedy equivilent of Democratic Underground.

From nasty jokes to out of context clips of the President stammering, the once middle of the road Dave has let his show become all Bush bashing all the time.

I can't watch him any more and I used to be a huge fan.

[jimfree]

Leno doesn't want to alienate his audience so he bashes both parties.

Leno has talent and judgement. That combination is much rarer than it ought to be.

[Darksheare]

I'm still going to lay eggs in her stomach...

[dwilli]

same here mostly.

[Dr.Deth]

She needs to upgrade those kneepads.

[Elsie]

Doubly so!

Where HRC's hand???

[Watery Tart]

I don't know who Natalie Portman is, so I'll just make like a tree and get outa here. </backtothefuture.wisconsin>

[Elsie]

Slip me some tongue!

[Elsie]

Slip me some tongue!

[ibbryn]

Everyone here has very short memories. Natalie got a very complimentary thread praising her when she came out with pro-Isreal statements a year or so ago. It had much better pictures of a very beautiful girl.

I guess she's not perfect. I seem to remember she's anti RKBA also.

I guess I'll have to forget about a long term relationship with her, it'd never work as we are too different. When we meet up I'll only offer her for a one night stand.

[gathersnomoss]

I would only want her for her brain.

[Cinnamon Girl]

NATALIE: I know they don't mention it at Harvard, but the list of Democrats who have spoken out AGAINST Israel is growing everyday. And how much do you love the new BELLE of the BALL, Michael Moore? Do you know what he says about Israel? He applauds the palistinians bombing efforts and says the Israelis would also commit suicide bombings on pregnant women and other civilians if the "sandal was on the other foot." Do you agree with that? Wake up.

[Bronco_Buster_FweetHyagh]

Wow look at Natalie! I always knew Hillary was cold, but never have I seen such clear proof!!!

[Docbarleypop]

was she old enough to vote for gore? oh thats right, like it would have mattered

[Pablo64]

Oh! Now I know who we're talking about. The flat-chested "actress" from the latest Star Wars films. Wow, too bad. Can't act and stupid to boot. Pity.

[ClearBlueSky]

Ms.Gerschlag( real name) is a naive twit- and she can't act either.
Wonder how she feels about burkhas?

[arielb]

looks like Hillary is happy with what Natalie's got

[olde north church]

I really don't think a burquaa would be in her future anyway.

[DustyMoment]

Hey, Caroll O'Connor is dead!

Really?? Was it in the news?

(that's not a clever response but I had a brain fart when I wrote my original post. What do you want from me, I'm old!!)

[DustyMoment]

Did you mean Ed Asner?

Uh . . . . sure, whatever.

[gopwinsin04]

Is that Kiera Knightly or Portman with Jude Law..she looks horrible!

[BradyLS]

Personally, I find Natalie Portman cute, but she bears a weird resemblance to Elijah Woods (Frodo), like his sister or cousin, in this picture with Her Heinous.

[nickcarraway]

Pro-Israel Natalie has sided with the anti-Israel crowd?
