I was actually planning on doing a DUFU about either the DUmmies or KOmmies biting their fingernails over the survival of public option in ObamaCare. Right now they are acting as if their very existence depends on public option remaining. However, I find the constant micro-analysis of each little nuance and twitch of the various Senators and Congress folks to be highly annoying. Like their self-absorbed neurosis was making me neurotic reading about it. Therefore I decided to go with the FUn THREAD, "Actors you were bummed to find out were Republican..." At least one of the actors mentioned actually surprised me since I would have never guessed him to be a Republican. So let us now watch the DUmmies get bummed out over Republican actors in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, reminding everybody that Lou Costello was a conservative Republican (really), is in the [brackets]:
Actors you were bummed to find out were Republican...
[John Wayne?]
Robert Downey, Jr.
Can't believe he went all Pro Bush...
[I have to admit this actually surprised me as well. Even more of a surprise than finding out that Richard Feynman was also a Republican.]
Tom Selleck. I thought he would be too smart for it.
[I figured Selleck for a conservative...which is why Rosie O'Donnell went nuts on him.]
Jimmy Stewart. From all his movies you got the idea that he was an empathetic humanist. He was a solid repub though.
[No surprise there. I already knew this about Jimmy.]
If he were alive today, I think he wouldn't still be a republcian.
[Somehow I can't picture Jimmy Stewart hanging out with the ACORN crowd.]
William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck... were two more old school republican, Eisenhower types
[William Holden was Best Man at Ronald Reagan's wedding. Barbara Stanwyck? She was the wife of Robert Taylor who testified in Congress about the Reds in Hollywood.]
Bruce Willis, Dennis Hopper
[And Willis had the sense to ditch that airhead Demi Moore.]
wow, would not have expected Dennis Hopper that is sad
[May we send you a consolation card?]
Patricia Heaton. I absolutely despise her since I found out she's a Republican. Especially after I read some of the comments she has made. Blech!!! That's the only one that bothers me. Don't have any negative feelings about the others I know of who are Republican.
[Send her to The Hague for political Thought Crimes.]
I can't watch her anymore. She is a good comedic actress. However, once I know something like that, it just destroys my image of them.
[Is Playboy Playmate Petra Verkaik a Republican? Somehow I don't think her politics would be my main concern if I ever happen to bump into her.]
Robert Duvall. he's a REAL asshole, too. smug, arrogant, uber macho prick. so that makes it easier to loathe him, unlike Downey, who I've always liked a lot can't believe he swings that way must've been all the drugs
[Was Gabby Hayes a Republican? That knowledge would greatly influence how I perceive Roy Rogers movies.]
What??? Robert Downey Jr.?? Is that true? I had not heard that. My wife will be crushed when she hears this -- he is one of her favorite actors.
[Your wife will have to retire her bong pipe.]
Clint Eastwood
[Kind of hard to think of Dirty Harry as a kneejerk liberal.]
Stallone. Who coulda guessed?
[Easy to guess that when you watch the Rocky Balboa movies.]
Gary Sinese
[No surprise there. And I've been a big fan of his since watching him in "True West." A great play.]
John Voight
[No surprise now but years ago I sort of had him pegged for a liberal.]
Jim Caviezel
[Jesus was a Republican. Remember that.]
Mary Tyler Moore told Parade last year how much she loves Bill O'Reilly and said she'd campaign for McCain/Palin if asked
[FUn Fact: Morey Amsterdam from the Dick Van Dycke show was a big supporter of Ronald Reagan.]
Adam Sandler shattered my illusions.
[Another Republican. I loved him as Dave Buzznik in "Anger Management." Was Dr. Buddy Rydell also a Republican?]
Phyllis Diller.
[Bob Hope must have rubbed off on her.]
Here is a list of them: MEATLOAF? And, Cindy Williams of Lavern & Shirley
[I never thought about it before but Meatloaf's political leanings surprises me as well.]
R. Lee Ermey is a Republican?!
[How could you possibly think that Sgt. Hartman would be a liberal Democrat?]
Micky Dolenz of the Monkees. He apparently appeared as a headline act at a teabag event in Texas. Bummer.
[Peter Tork?]
Drew Carey. Majorly bummed about that
[Then I better not tell you about Lou Costello.]
Goat Granny who shot one once with a 25 caliber just to watch him bleed to death (I hate coons). When it took too long because of the caliber, I went and had a cup of coffee... retured with a 38 special. Ha.
[Send her to The Hague for political Thought Crimes.]
That is one reason I really like Patricia Heaton. #$%* the liberals in holly weird.
I saw Pat speak twice on politics. He is something of a paleocon, protectionist and against military adventurism. Nice man to boot.
I didn’t care for Tropic Thunder as a whole (not a fan of most of Stiller’s work). Nevertheless, it was worth watching if only for Downey’s and Tom Cruise’s (!) perfomances.
Stephen is a pubbie, but still a weirdo.
For those of you who’ve never seen Bareback Mountin’, I can tell you that Heath Ledger gives the best depiction of a real cowboy (he starts out with sheep, later moving to steers) I have seen in years. Jake Gyllenhal, on the other hand, looked and acted like the grand marshal of a gay pride parade.
Lasorda I knew was a pubbie, and he came out strongly against the deportation of Elian Gonzalez. The Catholics out there may be happy to know that Tommy is very devout.
He saw Gonzalez's pitching arm.
Cowboys don’t raise sheep. Shepherds do.
And yes Jack Davis is still doing album covers after 50 years.
If I recall correctly, Danny Elfman has bashed Sarah Palin on his website, so I doubt he’s a Republican. Then again...
Republican != Conservative
Who’da thunk it that the Left supports a Hollywood Blacklist.
There is one celebrity I am surprised no one has mentioned who is also a Republican, and this celebrity is revered across the internet through a certain “facts” website. Besides the DUmmies would explode if they did a little research about him.
The person I am referring to is CHUCK NORRIS!!!
