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."

[Cableguy]

I had to turn Letterman off last night. Natalie was on bashing Bush. She says she was a big Kerry supporter, voted for Gore in 2000, and attented get-out-the-vote events up in Boston.

PS I am posting this ABC link because I couldn't find any stories about it.

[smith288]

What did she say that "bashes" him?

[Windsong]

And Phantom Menace...well, SUCKED.

[ThreeYearLurker]

I didn't even think she was an American citizen

[paul544]

As if I didn't have enough reasons not to see the next Star Wars movie.

[King Prout]

awww, durnit, Natalie - I was going to let you bear my children, but now...

[jmaroneps37]

This is good. People see these hollywod jerks and run. Let her keep it up. People know that she's not only "a huge fan" but a "huge" ash hole as well.

[NormsRevenge]

Natalie.. "May the Farce Be with You!"

[LauraJean]

I see her political insight is as highly developed as her acting skills.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Never heard of her. But I wrote a Kerry Campaign poem.

Kerry 2004

I want to be the President,
Though all know I can’t lead.
I really want the power though,
It’s really what I need.
I’ll lie and cheat and fabricate,
I’ll flip and flop for sure.
The left’s so dumb they’ll vote for me,
For stupid, there’s no cure.
George Bush lied, I’ll chant and sing,
Though I know it’s not true.
I love America I’ll say,
Another lie for you.
I’ll back the UN’s global push,
No sovereignty for us.
The world rides free at our expense,
We’ll even buy the bus.
Let terror rain down on this land,
We really are to blame.
Oh yes, I fought in Viet Nam,
Four months, then home I came.
Three Purple Hearts for paper cuts,
Like some rite of passage.
You bet my name’s John Kerry,
And I approve this message.

I tuned into Letterman as Portman was giggling at Bush, saying since Bush likes vacation so much (another Moore distortion), it will be good if he loses in November. That way he'll be on vacation all the time. (I'm going from tired memory.)

Dave looked down at his desk and a few in the audience gave nervous laughs. The subject was then changed.

I heard she was a smart girl; I was surprised how giggly and adolescent she seemed.

[Cableguy]

She implied that the 2000 election was illegally won, and started to say nasty things about the war before I got disgusted and switched channels.

[Mamzelle]

Wow--and here I thought I had read Portman was pro-Israel.

Natalie Portman bashes Bush on David Letterman

That's even more unfair thread title than my "Blob director dies" headline.

[CaptRon]

How old might she have been in 2000?

[savedbygrace]

So then you haven't seen her lately. Ug.

[ride the whirlwind]

Natalie who?

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Political junkie:

(Wearing Nixon-Lodge t-shirt. Leafing through "The Almanac of American politics." Watching C-SPAN.)

"The Note?" YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnfrink]

Let me remind you who it is that we are talking about here.

[Hank Rearden]

Natalie who?

Natalie Herschlag.

[gopwinsin04]

She's only 19 and fresh out of college in NYC.. once she sees that first check from Star Wars III made out to her and not her parents, she may think differently.

[King Prout]

someone hit her wit' da fugly stick?

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Robert Burns:

Well done m'laddie. RRRR! It is rrrreally moving. RRRRR!

Doesn't my Scottish accent sound very similar to the one I use to impersonate a pirate?

Why is that?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

She is very foolish. The Republicans and Bush are the biggest supporters of Israel.

[Lancey Howard]

Birth: Tuesday June 9th, 1981, in Jerusalem, Israel

Portman needs a better handler, one who will tell her to keep her stupid mouth shut. She is way too young to go jeopardizing her career by alienating over half of her potential fan base, especially by spewing the same silly liberal diarrhea as the rest of the old, washed-up Hollywood drunks.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

I guess the poor misinformed young lady does not realize that John Kerry never mentioned Israel once in his acceptance speech last night!

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Natalie Portman bashes Bush on David Letterman

Poor Dave...I hope he's ok!

[Frank_Discussion]

If her being 19 is true, then she didn't vote for gore in 2000. She would have been a wee fifteen or sixteen years old.

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Senator Barry Goldwater.

[drjimmy]

She's only 19 and fresh out of college in NYC
She's 23, and Harvard ain't in NYC.

[King Prout]

she's 23

[kinsman redeemer]

I used to watch Letterman, but no more. His anti-Bush crusade is extremely irritating.

[Mamzelle]

Or, maybe like almost all liberal Jews, she would just prefer Israel to disappear. "Next year in Jerusalem?" Hah. "Drop dead next year, Jerusalem."

[BurbankKarl]

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Bad geography Bessie:

You don't know what the heck you're talking about! Everyone knows that Harvard is located in New York City and that Cornell is located in that bastion of liberalism, College Station, Texas. Plus, Smith is that all-female college up there in Tennessee. Get your facts straight pal! Sheesh.

[Frank_Discussion]

Ok. Then she could've voted for Gore.

[spodefly]

Her Kerry comments shouldn't be surprising. Natalie gets excited by left-wing politicians.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Not Luke and Leia's mom???

[CygnusXI]

WOW!!
Hillary looks reeeeaaal excited too..

[gopwinsin04]

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

[ride the whirlwind]

Julia Roberts in the making.

[rwfromkansas]

She is, but she is clueless about which political party actually supports them.

[Porterville]

I swore off Letterman since he went after Bush... too bad, he core audience was most likely conservatives.... now I am watching Leno.. Leno doesn't want to alienate his audience so he bashes both parties.

[Cincinatus]

That t-shirt logo looks like something off a psychedelic album cover from the '60s!

Anybody care to groove to The Electric Prunes??

[Conspiracy Guy]

I can't explain it!

[rwfromkansas]

I watched Jimmy Kimmel last night.

Surprisingly, when he he mentioned the Dem convention and the Kerry campaign, there were boos.

Obviously some Repubs in the audience.

[RogueIsland]

the perfect combination of compassion, intelligence, and composure

Hmm. Not adjectives I normally associate with self-admitted war criminals.

[OldFriend]

She bragged about her Harvard education. Then when Letterman asked why was her degree and she said Psychology. He said, you can't get a job with that, or something to the effect that it was a worthless degree.

She was flirting with him big time.....IMHO.
