From a list sent us by reader JG |
- Two weeks of basic training before filming "Saving Private Ryan" is more military experience than Condoleeza Rice, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney (5 deferments), Tom Delay and Dennis Hastert combined.
- Don Rumsfeld went to Iraq while Hussein used our chemical weapons on Iranian soldiers (and civilians along the border) and secured the additional shipments to the Iraqi dictator. Sean Penn visited Iraq, but has only used chemicals on himself.
- Martin Sheen has been arrested 70 times in his pursuit of peace and social justice. George W. Bush's three documented arrests: drunk driving, stealing a Christmas wreath and football hooliganism.
- Brit Hume, Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh are celebrities, not elected officials or diplomats (incidentally, all avoided service in Vietnam) who make their livelihood shilling for war. Garofalo, Damon et al risk their livelihoods by opposing it.
- There is no such thing as apolitical art.
- "Apocalypse Now!" took 5 years to complete and Martin Sheen saw it all the way through, disease, monsoons and all. George W. Bush skipped the last 17 months of his National Guard service in Texas.
- Are award shows asking pro-war celebrities to keep their remarks "neutral?"
- It's their First Amendment right. |

1. B.J. Honneycut-Mike Farrel served for 10 years in the Korean War that only lasted for three.
2. Martin Sheen is currently serving his second term in the White House.
3. The Fat Dixie Chick will kick your ass if you support the troops.
4. Barbara Streisand is a lunatic with a voice that apparently appeals to gay men.
5. The others are wannabe or washup celebrities who will do and say anything to get on TV.
6. Kim Bassinger suffered terrible cold with the ice cube seen in 9 1/2 weeks.
7. Cheryl Crow is a lesbian.
8. Most of these celebrities served as prostitutes until they hit it big.
9. It is easier to look and listen to Kim Bassinger than Rossane Barr.
10. After all celebrities have to memorize someone elses lines, surely they have some original thoughts of their own. |
