Actress Betty White is being called on by fans to speak at this week’s Democratic National Convention.

The 90-year-old star, who’s an Obama supporter, is not scheduled to appear, but there's a petition circulating online urging White to introduce the president on Thursday.

What a sad shame that this woman has degenerated into an elderly foulmouthed liberal court jester. Allen Ludden must be rolling in his grave.

It’s also very sad that women who started their careers as moral people suddenly find it necessary to crawl into the hollywood cesspool of immorality. Cosby made it without foul language, but it sems Ms. White just can’t make the grade. She is a shadow image of the once gracious funny lady she used to be.

Here’s the hypocritical crux of the effort... They claim Clint was a disaster, yet they feel the urge to combat his appearance, thus proving that Mr. Eastwood struck political gold.

Republicans lead, democrats follow (or copy cat, as it were).

Betty White is an avid animal lover. All anyone has to do is remind her that obama eats puppies.

There will be so much “spewing” it'll be hard to tell if Hanoi Jane and Hugo Jr. are not on stage.

It is so plain to see the libs are very susceptible to having their Alinsky tactics played on them.

Every time I have seen her in a movie, her shtick is the same. “Hey look! A foul-mouthed old lady talking dirty about sex! Isn’t it funny!!?”

She’s a great actress and comedienne, and I love her, even though she is a political moron.

Betty, dear, please shut up and entertain!

Here recent series have been nothing but soft porn and idiocy. We watched the Cleveland one for a bit but ultimately couldn’t stand it and the “candid camera” spin off was just stupid and crass.

Eastwood must have really gotten under their skin.

This would be a huge mistake for her. Clint Eastwood’s politics are well known. He has held political office as a Republican and has well known views on politics.

Betty White is another matter, she is not seen by the public as political. Becoming overtly political at this point would discourage people who disagree with her from supporting her as fans.

Conversely, with Clint Eastwood, his politics are already factored into a decision to support his work.

She can lose fans, Eastwood can’t anymore.

In all fairness, Obama had no control over what he was fed as a child. We have a ton of stuff to bust him about; we don't need that.

Yes, I know, they won't begin to treat us fairly but we still shouldn't sink to their level.

Just a joke; you and I and most FReepers know that, but the other side loves to throw stuff like that at us as “hate speech”. Of course, I’m overreacting, as usual!

Well, yes they are.

And as an extra special surprise Betty will be wearing her version of this classic, showing a poodle humping an empty chair.
