Barbra Streisand is another proponent of environmentalism, yet she drives an SUV, lives in a mansion and has a $22,000 annual water bill. In the past, she has driven to appointments in Beverly Hills in a motor home because of her aversion to using public bathrooms.
  1. I wonder if her aversion to using public bathrooms began after she learned her son had AIDS.
  2. Couldn't she afford a customized limousine, avec $hitter?

Moore sure hates America. Must be some real reason that he won't admit to. He needs to suck down a few beers and sit down and listen to some normal people some time.

I hope the book mentions that the Kennedy family made sure that Rose was a "resident" of Florida (even though she hadn't been there in ten years) so they wouldn't have to pay Massachusetts' death tax on her estate.

< shrug >

So, is there already an author and publisher for the liberal response, highlighting pro-family conservatives' divorces, abortions, DUI's, tax evasions, law-brushes, adulteries, and the like?

It makes sweaty reading, no doubt, but strikes me as ad hominem. I'd just as soon stick with the issues and their merit, or lack thereof.

That's not all - the book also reports:

Staunch union supporter Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) has received the Cesar Chavez Award from the United Farmworkers Union. But the $25 million Northern California vineyard she and her husband own is a non-union shop.

The hypocrisy doesn't end there. Pelosi has received more money from the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union than any other member of Congress in recent election cycles.

But the Pelosis own a large stake in an exclusive hotel in Rutherford, Calif. It has more than 250 employees. But none of them are in a union, according to Schweizer, author of "The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty" and a regular contributor to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other periodicals.

The Pelosis are also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900 employees. The chain is - that's right, a non-union shop.


Air America radio host Al Franken says conservatives are racist because they lack diversity and oppose affirmative action. But fewer than 1 percent of the people he has hired over the past 15 years have been African-American.


Ted Kennedy has fought for the estate tax and spoken out against tax shelters. But he has repeatedly benefited from an intricate web of trusts and private foundations that have shielded most of his family's fortune from the IRS. One Kennedy family trust wasn't even set up in the U.S., but in Fiji.

Another family member, environmentalist Robert Kennedy Jr., has said that it is not moral to profit from natural resources. But he receives an annual check from the family's large holdings in the oil industry.


Barbra Streisand has talked about the necessity of unions to protect a "living wage." But she prefers to do her filming and postproduction work in Canada, where she can pay less than American union wages.


Bill and Hillary Clinton have spoken in favor of the estate tax, and in 2000 Bill vetoed a bill seeking to end it. But the Clintons have set up a contract trust that allows them to substantially reduce the amount of inheritance tax their estate will pay when they die.


Hillary, for her part, has written and spoken extensively about the right of children to make major decisions regarding their own lives. But she barred 13-year-old daughter Chelsea from getting her ears pierced and forbid the teen from watching MTV or HBO.


Billionaire Bush-basher George Soros says the wealthy should pay higher, more progressive tax rates. But he holds the bulk of his money in tax-free overseas accounts in Curacao, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

I especially like the part about how these rich liberals who love tax increases, and insist that everyone else pay them (Kennedy, Soros, Kerry, etc) have their own trusts setup to specifically avoid paying them.

Along the same lines, I recently documented the fact that Robert Greenwald, a film producer and Michael Moore wannabe whose current work is a Walmart-bashing documentary that focuses on the allegedly low wages Walmart pays, trolls on his own web site for unpaid ["volunteer"] field producers!

This is so typical of these lefties, they tell everyone else how to behave while in fact doing the exact opposite of what they preach. This is not shocking nor new.

I heard an interview with the author on Jerry Agar's show today, and the author stated that over the years, the Kenedeys have inherited more than 500 million dollars, but due to their creative methods of sheltering the funds, through trusts and out of the country holdings, they've paid less than $150,000 in inheritence taxes. But they're all in favor of increasing the death tax!
