Ah newt, whatever happened to ya buddy?
Newt was the guy who made me care about politics. (I was in High School at the time Contract with America was happening)
Newt did a great service to all of us.
I am greatful for what he did.
Party on, dudes! Entertainers and other celebrities who support President Bush are coming out of the closet, and none of them has hotter things to say than Alice Cooper, the old heavy-metal shock rocker who is now a big fan of the President and says rock stars who've jumped on the John Kerry bandwagon are treasonous to their music and morons to boot.
Cooper, 56, singled out Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews, James Taylor, and Bruce Springsteen, among others, as rockers who, in his view, should be avoiding political statements.
"To me, that's treason," Cooper (aka Vincent Damon Furnier) told the Canadian Press news service as he embarked on a 15-city Canadian tour this summer. "I call it treason against rock and roll, because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics."
Cooper said anyone who listens to a rock star in order to get information on whom to vote for is "a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night, and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal."
"Besides, Cooper added, "when I read the list of people who are supporting Kerry, if I wasn't already a Bush supporter, I would have immediately switched. Linda Ronstadt? Don Henley? Geez, that's a good reason right there to vote for Bush."
Meanwhile, magician Wayne Alan along with other performers -- mostly actors, comedians, and musicians -- have formed a group called "Entertainers For Bush," which has urged Hollywood celebrities who privately back the President to openly declare their support for his reelection.
The group has identified a large number of "celebrity entertainers" who already publicly support the Bush campaign, including performers who appeared at the Republican National Convention such as Brooks & Dunn, Sara Evans, the Gatlin Brothers, Ron Silver, and Lee Ann Womack.
On its Web site, the group names a number of other "celebrity entertainers" it says are also public supporters of President Bush, including Aaron Buerge, Drew Carey, Shannen Doherty, Lara Flynn-Boyle, Vincent Gallo, Kelsey Grammer, Angie Harmon, Patricia Heaton, Don King, Dennis Miller, Chuck Norris, Ted Nugent, Jason Priestley, Freddie Prinze Jr., John Rhys-Davies, Kathie Lee Gifford, Kid Rock, Pat Sajak, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brad Paisley, Jessica Simpson, Tony Sirico, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Britney Spears, Fred Thompson, Steve Tyler, and Bruce Willis.
Hollywood stars may still be overwhelmingly liberal Democrats, Marxists, or would-be bomb-throwing revolutionaries, but it's refreshing to learn that a bit of diversity exists in the political views of the entertainment community -- even if it leaves these brave dissenters from leftist orthodoxy open to the risk that they may "never eat lunch" in Hollywood again.
And of course , who is not hot, 1. Dan Rather ( no surprise there) 2.Girlie men and Literary elites 3. Martha Stewart
Show the who's NOT! LOL unfit to report LOL
Thank you for a great post that put a smile on this Texan's face!. Loved the analysis of the Newsweek poll especially. Take Care.
Whn I scrolled down at Iconoclast, I noticed sKerry's debate listick and thought he looked very made up overall. I suppose that's how they toned down the orange tan. They must have "leaked" the manicure to cover for the time spent applying makeup.
