Five battling Dems put aside their disagreements long enough to please the Hollywood crowd and take some whacks at President Bush.
Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand, Arianna Huffington, Alan Ladd Jr., "Pulp Fiction" producer Lawrence Bender and Laurie David (wife of "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David) were behind the League of Conservation Voters debate in Los Angeles. So says the New York Daily News.
League of Conservation Voters, which hosted the event on the eve of Bush's arrival in southern California, also ran a 30-second TV advertisement just as Air Force One was landing in L.A. The ad claimed that Bush has raised "millions from corporate polluters" while rolling back environmental protections.
Although some of Hollywood's king makers were upset that the recipient of the Streisand memos, Dick Gephardt, was a debate no-show, those Dems who did appear were generally aiming to please the Bush-haters in Tinseltown.
"This is the most anti-environment administration in our history," Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut sniveled.
Al Sharpton referred to an EPA report that downplayed the theory of global warming as "a document that is just as flawed as the document of weapons of mass destruction."
And Carol Moseley Braun said the administration "lied to the American people" on environmental issues.
The Left Coast Report asks, "Is this what Bill Clinton was talking about when he said liberals don't sink to the level of the right and dehumanize their opponents?"
Is this Arianna's week to be a center-leftist, or anarcho-socialist? I can't keep track.
I wish she'd post her schedule online.
Liberal schmucks even steal our root name. They should call themselves the League of Liberalation Voters, except the root of that word has to do with liberty. So they should call themselves the League of Communisation Voters, and conservationists should be called communisationists.
Screw their befouling of the English language! It's confusing the kids.
