Obama-backer Bening pillories Palin
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Actress Annette Bening thinks the Republican party is practicing "bizarre" politics if it seriously believes that the naming of Alaska governor Sarah Palin as John McCain's vice-presidential running mate will win over large numbers of former Hillary Clinton supporters.
Bening, a prominent member of the Hollywood liberal elite, made her comments at a news conference promoting her latest film, The Women, which opens Sept. 12.
"I think it's exciting to see a woman chosen to be on a major ticket," Bening said.
"But the idea that people, who voted for Hillary, who tend to be Democrats, would change and vote for McCain because of Sarah Palin seems to me bizarre."
However, she admitted that there are some women who probably would move into Palin's camp because they want to vote for a woman.
"I find that an odd idea because of course Sarah Palin's politics are to the right of McCain's. She's incredibly conservative and I think it's fair to say she's more conservative than John McCain. So whether she will rally more conservative people to get out there and vote, I don't know. But most of the people I know that were interested in voting for Hillary are voting for Obama."
Bening, a mother of four who is married to actor Warren Beatty, will be voting for Obama. So will her costars in the new movie - Meg Ryan, Cloris Leachman, Debra Messing - as well as director Diane English.
Only actress Eva Mendes declined to say how she would cast her ballot, saying she considered such a decision private.

Now we know who the conservative is in that group of actresses.
So, only liberals watch their acting. I don’t waste my time.

The only one of the bunch with any sense.
The rest of them appear to be under the impression that we give a rip about their views on anything.
It’s sad that in Hollywood, you can brag about voting for the Marxist guy but if you’re voting for an American hero, you have to keep it under wraps if you want to keep your job. Reminds me of the old Soviet Union and Third Reich.
They lost my patronage .... actually, a long time ago.
I don’t respect any of them.
Good to know I don’t need to spend any of my good $$$ watching those a-holes in anything......
“But the idea that people, who voted for Hillary, who tend to be Democrats, would change and vote for McCain because of Sarah Palin seems to me bizarre.”
I guess these PUMA’s didn’t get the Hollyweird memo.

So she has a news coference promoting a new film, and says, “hey, I don’t like conservatives.” I wonder what the top 10 films will be that week. Hers is sure not to be one of them.

Obomb-ba wants to tax the rich, hey, aren’t they rich??? Hope they like giving up about 55% of their income! Stoopid Hollyweird Witches!
I think it started when she was screwing around on with Russell Crowe while she was married to Dennis Quaid.
I think all the people who make millions and yearn for Communism should be taxed at 80% to support their ideology.
If you rail about the poor, feel free to pay more taxes to re-enforce your position.
This movie also has an Oprah connection with her ‘new age’ yak. Oprah could not even determine James Frey “A Million Little Pieces” was a fraud and took him hook,line and sinker. WHY WOULD WOMEN THINK SHE CAN PICK A PRESIDENT???
I am sure she had her “people” look into it.
Acutually they should be taxed 150%.
