TALES FROM THE LEFT COAST
TRUE STORIES OF HOLLYWOOD STARS AND THEIR OUTRAGEOUS POLITICS
BY JAMES HIRSEN with NewsMax.com
Praise for TALES FROM THE LEFT COAST:
“With wit and facts, James Hirsen has written a stinger of a book—revealing the truth about the shenanigans of Hollywood’s Leftist Elite and their negative influence on entertainment and politics.” ~Dr. Laura Schlessinger, syndicated radio host
“Don’t believe anything you read—except this (and the Bible). It’s all here! The lies the criminal liberal media refuses to print. The ‘cult of celebrity’ may just be destroyed by this book.” ~Mancow Muller, syndicated radio host and member of Fox and Friends
“This book finally tears down the Hollywood façade Leftist celebrities have been hiding behind for decades. Anyone who wants to know the true Hollywood story must read TALES FROM THE LEFT COAST.” ~Tammy Bruce, author of the New York Times bestsellerThe Death of Right and Wrong
“TALES FROM THE LEFT COAST is compelling, persuasive, and one of the funniest conservative books to hit the market—and is written by one of the finest gentlemen around, Jim Hirsen.” ~David Limbaugh, author of Absolute Power
“Finally, a balanced assessment of the true tail that wags the Hollywood dog! Jim Hirsen takes on the issues of money, might, and mouthing off in La La Land with aplomb. Well crafted.” ~Jennifer O’ Neill, actress, author, and speaker
Can you believe that U2’s Bono has as much clout in Washington, D.C., as President Bush, or that when Sean Penn goes on a fact-finding tour to Iraq it becomes front-page news? It’s no secret that Hollywood has a leftward tilt when it comes to politics (Steve Martin said as much in his Oscar monologue). But what the celebrity-obsessed media fail to show is how Hollywood’s liberal bias affects not only the movies we see, but even government public policy. In TALES FROM THE LEFT COAST (Crown Forum; July 2003), James Hirsen shows exactly what kind of effect this liberal bias has.
Through extensive research and scores of interviews, Hirsen uncovers some of the most absurd, infuriating, and damning political stunts pulled by celebrities of yesterday and today. He reveals:
• The shocking number of Hollywood stars-including Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kevin Costner-who have traveled to Cuba and praised Fidel Castro
• How U2’s Bono is able to secure billions of American tax dollars from both major parties for AIDS relief and other charities while living in the comfort of tax-free Dublin
• How many top Hollywood personalities, most notably Rob Reiner, have crusaded to tone down not violence in movies but smoking!
• Hollywood’s love-hate relationship with PETA
• The top seven Hollywood causes and the causes no good liberal would ever champion
• How liberals have distorted the history of the Hollywood blacklist and how conservatives in Hollywood are blacklisted for speaking their minds
Hirsen skewers the Hollywood Left, and he’s certain to keep conservatives and even a few liberals laughing with his hilarious offerings, including “Hollywood’s Greatest Hits,” “The Ultimate PC TV Show,” his political glossary of Hollywood, and “The Lefty Awards,” with such categories as “Best Limousine Liberal,” “Best Performance by an Actress in Pandering to a Foreign Audience,” and “Best Piece of Celluloid Propaganda.”
Both entertaining and perceptive, TALES FROM THE LEFT COAST is a look at how easily the line between entertainment and politics is blurred.

Isn't he a big backer of Judicial Watch and a couple of the vanity candidates who kept sniping at Bush?
I've been to Dublin. Word is, on top of all this, Bono's a really lousy tipper.

Could you two, like, go get a room? I'm sure I can get Richard Mellon Scaife to pay for it, if you'd submit a voucher....
