Agree. I think she's funny and I like her style of humor. Even though I don't watch much of her, she hasn't seemed overly political from what I've seen since the whole controversy over her coming out on her sitcom (although I did see her wearing a "Vote or Die" shirt shortly before the election while I was flipping channels, I'm not sure if she made any overt statement), and so she's remained watchable unlike many of her Hollywood comrades.
I did catch a bit of her show today with Tom Hanks doing tributes for the troops. Good for her.
Goooo Ellen! The lady is very funny and I appreciate her doing something special for the troops. Kudos for all who join the USO in making our troops' life easier.
My wife watches her show every day. She hardly ever brings up the gay issue and she never gets political. Who knows if this was her idea or not, but she could have said no. I have to assume she was a Kerry supporter, but even is she was she certainly never "stumped" for him like so many of the other people in Hollywood.
One other thing to remember here folks - it is an absolute waste of time to hate everyone who may have voted for Kerry. Not sure what the exact figures are, but let's be conservative and say 20% of the troops fighting in Iraq voted for him. Are we going to hate them too? think about it.
It doesn't hurt to show appreciation when good deeds are done, regardless of who does them. In fact, I think it's one of the things that makes us so much better than the other side.
She may not have worn it in a conservative context, but that phrase, although harsh & direct, would work just as well for the Republican party.
