BBC News | 9/26/03

Our government has, I believe, set the bounty on Saddam at $25 milliion. All Bruce has done is make it 26 million.

American soldiers are ineligible for the 25 mil. It's an incentive for Iraqis.

Finally someone from Hollywierd makes the news who isn't an anti-American a$$hole.

Go Bruce, Go!!!!!!

THAT does it! I'm rentin' a Bruce Willis movie tonight!

Quite shallow of you to assume a few pictures for the press make the outing.

It's not creepy, its called A GOOD THING to be involved in your kids life to such an extent that you don't have to be a macho jerk trying to prove youre better than the new guy or something.

Bruce gets full credit in my book.

Don't think so. I remember that Bruce Willis was at the inaugural ball for Dubya...one of the few Hollywood elitists who support Republicans.

He's with Gray Davis this month.

From this morning's LA Times:

On Thursday evening, more than 100 people attended a $1,000-a-head Hollywood fund-raiser for (CA Gov. Gray) Davis at the Century Plaza Hotel. Guests included Beatty and his wife, Annette Bening, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Willis and other celebrities.

OK, now I'm even more confused...

LA Times reported that Willis was at a fundraiser on Thursday evening in Hollyweird, and the photo captions of Willis in Iraq are dated Thursday.

Could the LA Times be mistaken?

The interesting thing is that Demi's boyfriend (Ashton Kutcher) is 25 years old. 1 year older than Willis' girlfriend, Brook Burns.

I don't suppose Tim Robbins, Ed Asner or Martin Sheen will be doing the same.

Are you kidding? The audience is armed, and probably just a touch edgy.

[tallhappy]

It's not hard. The fundraiser was on Sept 18.

Thanks for posting this, areafiftyone. It's great to see some of our Hollywood actors are willing to take the time to go to Iraq to show support for our troops this way. My thanks to Bruce Willis for taking that time!

Hey, RagtimeCowgirl! Morale boost for our troops {{{ping}}}!!!

[jonalvy44]

radu, welcome back! Thanks for the post, areafiftyone. He didn't promote this at all. Good man.

It's awesome," said commander Col Michael Linnington. "It's great for morale. "He's a macho actor. Soldiers identify with action movies and action actors. He's a guy's guy."

Bruce Willis in the war zone to thank the troops, ping!

Bruce Willis for Senator from NY or California!

BUMP!!

[Mr. Silverback]

OOH-RAH!

I knew I liked this guy so much for a reason.

Organized religion? Bruce Willis says its days are numbered.

Not so far fetched really. People are turning to God, and not some building, label or organization. Just returning to a personal relationship between themselves and God. As it should be. imho
