Hollywood may be debating who to support in the 2008 presidential election, but Dame Elizabeth Taylor already has her woman -- Hillary Rodham Clinton.

In a statement on Thursday, the actress said, "I have contributed to Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign because she has a mind of her own and a very strong one at that. I like the way she thinks. She is very savvy and a smart leader with years of experience in government, diplomacy and politics."

A spokesman for the 74-year-old actress said she had contributed $2,100 to the New York Democratic senator, the legal limit an individual can give in a primary campaign. Earlier the spokesman had said Taylor gave $100,000, but said that was an incorrect figure based on misinformation

Who cares.

Hillary! had an FBI file on Liz? Who knew?

[SF Republican]

Oh Liz, thats rich. I remember when someone put a microphone in front of her face at Reagan's renomination in Dallas, she couldn't put a sentence together to save her life. My Dad said, thats why actors act and writers write!

Well, Liz has never steered me wrong so far. Oh wait, there was that whole Michael Jackson and Bubbles the Chimp thing...

Hillary might be scraping the bottom of the barrel... LOL

[Revolting cat!]

She does?

[Logophile]

Well, that settles it.

Absolutely.

With Liz Taylor and Barbara Streisand behind her, how can she lose?

[WestCoastGal]

Well I guess Michael Jackson is on this bandwagon as well then.

They all make such a lovely bunch!
