Saturday's Names & Faces column in the Washington Post, compiled by Matt Kane, included this item:
Rick Schroder, the child star formerly known as Ricky, really digs nature. The onetime "NYPD Blue" star was in town yesterday, shovel in hand, taking part in Interior Secretary Gale Norton's national volunteer Take Pride in America program.
It "inspires people to take pride in parks," Schroder told us while planting trees alongside Mayor Tony Williams and schoolchildren in Watts Branch Park. "I've been involved with these issues for the past 12 years because I have a cattle ranch."...
Schroder, who is not shy about his conservative views, also met with President Bush during his brief D.C. stint. "He's a fantastic guy, let me tell you that," Schroder said. "I told him I wanted to help him get reelected."
Schroder's comments follow another second-tier celebrity praising President Bush. As recounted in the April 12 CyberAlert, on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly, Shannen Doherty extolled her love for Donald Rumsfeld, said she's "a big supporter of President Bush" and revealed that on her refrigerator she displays a picture of herself with Ari Fleischer.

END of Excerpt
Schroder starred as "Detective Danny Sorenson" on NYPD Blue from 1998 to 2001 and also starred in the early '80s sit-com Silver Spoons and later in the Lonesome Dove mini-series.
CUT TO MILLER HBO with MAHER
When liberal author/professor Michael Eric Dyson complained on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday night about how President Bush went to war in a crusade of Christianity over Islam as evidenced by how Bush "bows his head to God and prays to God," actor/comedian Dennis Miller fired back with an anti-Clinton quip: "At least he's not bowing his head to watch..."

Rick Schroder is a stand up guy. He was heavily influenced by William Holden.

The first liberal who calls him "Little Ricky Schroder" should get kicked right in the Blix.

There was a 1980 movie called The Earthling in which Holden played a tough guy who taught the orphaned Schroder about life and survival. Worth a look.

BTW, that last bit from Dennis Miller had to sting... maybe the professor could put some ice on it...

"Rick Schroder is a stand up guy. He was heavily influenced by William Holden."
No doubt the result of them working together on that wonderfull 1981 film "The Earthling".
Wiliam Holden was a standup guy. God bless him.
RIP Mr. Holden.

William Holden? Was he conservative, too?
To: Search4Truth
FINALLY someone has heard of the earthling!
What a wonderful film, and probably some of Rick's best acting.
Holden was exquisite in it too. I think it was his last film.

He was as far as I know. His most liberal cause became wildlife conservation, which his ex-partner, Stefanie Powers, is carrying on for him in his name.

"Thought Holden was dead!"He wasn't always. I recall a time when he was quite lively, but he doesn't get out much anymore.

Rick Schroder is a stand up guy. He was heavily influenced by William Holden. The Earthling is one of my favortite films.....I bet Rick at 9 or 10 when it was made was in awe of Holden.

"William Holden? Was he conservative, too?"And a very close friend of the Gipper.
