According to acclaimed director Steven Spielberg John Kerry lost the last election because of Hollywood ... or rather, because there was not enough of Hollywood in the race. The Hollywood mogul apparently believes that if there had been more effort on the part of tinsel town A-listers to get Kerry into the White House, the Massachusetts senator might not be wearing around a hangdog expression reminiscent of a blue-tick hound.

In other words, if only there had been more of this http://www.nydailynews.com/front/v-pfriendly/story/212784p-183225c.html, and of course this http://www.politicalmusings.net/archives/2004/08/03/
then we would all be enjoying the blessings of Massachusetts's brand of socialism with New England characteristics.
Right on Spielberg! Just keep telling yourself that.
Seriously, if the Dems want to win in '04 they might think about making it a rule not to allow their candidate to get within shouting distance of anyone who has ever made a popular movie or recorded a hit single.
On Airwolf, Stringfellow Hawk had a bluetick hound called Tet.
I agree with Senor Spielbergo, as long as they spend their own money.
 Alec Baldwin: The Film Actors Guild believes that we can handle the words with compassion not violence. That we can handle dangerous persons through talk and reason. That is the F.A.G way.One day, you're going to look at the world we Hollywood actors created and say 'Hey, good goin F.A.G!' 'You really made the world a better place, didn't you F.A.G' |
Alec Baldwin never looked so as he did in "Team America".
Oh, right, silly me.
blue tick coonhound: The blue tick originated in the US. The blue tick is considered a scent hound. The blue ticks are used for hunting raccoon. The coat is short and the colors are ; dark blue with abundant ticking, tri color (black, tan, and white) with black ticking. The ones I have seen working are big dogs(approx. 100+ lbs)

Just makes me want to download a movie.
War of the Worlds will fill his pocket$, for $ure.
funny
The left is absolutely tone deaf.
All the nonsense from these people caused a shift to the right.
Don't tell me. Karl Rove and Spielberg are really in cahoots.

The 'hicks' bit back The icons of glamour and glitz all said John Kerry was the only choice for people with any intelligence -- but Middle America didn't care, says Michael Coren By MICHAEL COREN
Ben Affleck changed the world this week. No, of course I don't mean that a tedious movie star actually changed international events. I mean that he personifies why George Bush and the Republicans won the election. They won because Middle America bit back. Simple as that. Middle America bit back. The abused, the marginalized and the mocked decided that they had had enough. Those taken for granted, those patronized, those treated with disdain voted to no longer play the silent victim. For months a daft coalition of the extremely willing played their guitars, sang their songs and read their Hollywood statements about Iraq, oil, the evil George Bush and the foolishness of the American people. They would deny, of course, that they accused their fellow Americans of being stupid, but this is precisely what they did. True understanding and enlightenment, it seemed, only came after you'd appeared in a sequel to a superhero movie or seen your last album go platinum. Bruce Springsteen might claim to be an ordinary working man, but ordinary working men don't have bank accounts the size of Rhode Island. The assembled pop stars and actors meant no harm when they demanded that Americans vote Democrat, but what they were really saying was that only certain people really get it. Michael Moore got it. Rosie O'Donnell got it. Academics at universities got it. Howard Stern got it. Yes, Howard Stern. America listened to Stern and his giggling sidekick explain why only a "retard" would vote for George Bush. In between fart noises and references to naked lesbians, this tired peddler of smut made fun of people who spoke with southern accents and voted on "moral issues." The clever people at the mainstream television networks, the stylish types in New York and Los Angeles, the icons of glamour and glitz all said that John Kerry was the only choice for a person with any intelligence. As for those ignorant evangelicals, those stupid church-going Catholics, those family-values fools, those dumb redneck hicks, they weren't real Americans. Then, in the smiling twilight of the new political morning, the unwashed told their betters to shove it. They realized that their kind were smart and sophisticated enough to storm the beaches of Normandy and wrestle Europe from the Nazis and Asia from the Japanese fascists. They realized that they were suave and urbane enough to work the farms, make the cars, drive the cabs, do the work. An epiphany Middle America experienced an epiphany. We are not bigots or yokels just because we believe in the family and in traditional virtues and values. We are not hateful merely because we support our troops and cry when we hear the national anthem. Working-class Americans began to ask some questions. They wondered why wealthy, white entertainers, artists and, I'm sure, freelance manufacturers of organic yogurt, were announcing that they would leave the United States if George Bush won the election. Imagine that. If democracy didn't provide the result they wanted, these selfish rich kids would run away to Canada or Britain. Is that patriotism? Middle America didn't remember Republicans threatening to leave when Bill Clinton won a second term. Middle America grew tired of the insults. We're not voting out of fear, they said, we don't accept every word we hear from the government and we're not so easily manipulated. Stop telling us that we don't understand what's going on. We've raised kids and paid mortgages and we resent listening to lectures, especially when delivered by an actress with a vacant smile and a copy of Socialism For Beginners. Tired of the critics Middle America shouted its impatience. It wasn't that it so liked George Bush, more that it was so tired of Bush's critics. Middle America remembered a time when actors, singers and writers reflected the nation. These performers no longer aspired to reflect but to reshape it in their own narcissistic image. John Kerry was too close to that clan, too much part of the culture of smug assumption. It wasn't George Bush who was the victor last week, but men and women who stood up and announced to the self-defined elites that "the people" is not a concept but a flesh-and-blood reality. And one that bites back. |
It's a real hound dog recognized by the AKC. They look very much like a large Beagle but the scattered spots have a "blue" tint to them.
"MATT....DAMON!!!"
Lazy Hollywood. Yeah, if you all weren't so busy making movies and entertainment, Kerry would have won! Stupid people don't have their priorities straight /sarc.
