Well, whaddya know ...

My Deaniac relative works in Sumner's office and will be in deep depression about this ...

[Cincinna]

Welcome abord, Mr. Redstone. Will you be kicking in a little cash?

[faithincowboys]

Bull. Total bull. This was said in an attempt to control some of the damage brought on by Rathergate. Why is every arm of Viacom vocally anti-Bush??

[Tempest]

Ohhh I'm sure this is a sincere gesture. . .

could I get a direct link to the article please.

[Stonedog]

Well, well, well.... I think we are seeing the Viacom damage control team in action.

[dennisw]

I don't believe him. Kick in a few hundred thou to the RNC or the Swift Vets and I'll change my mind

[dennisw]

Well, well, well.... I think we are seeing the Viacom damage control team in action.......


SHOW ME THE MONEY REDSTONE. Talk is cheap, how about a hefty contribution to GWBush re-election campaign.

[truth_seeker]

I think he is lying; so comfortable and smooth for liberals.

It is in their genes. Some outgrow it. Most do not.

[Darkwolf377]

I see Dan isn't the only fiction writer working at CBS

[Mount Athos]

if you read what he actually says, he is just saying republicans are better for his company. Maybe he wants Democrats to stop blocking tort reform, who knows.

[SFConservative]

Here a link to the article that may only work if you have a subscription ...

[ChocChipCookie]

According to www.fundrace.org, Redstone's two political contributions ($1000 each) went to John Kerry.

[GoLightly]

I'm sure he wrote all of that up in some kind of memo ages ago.

OpenSecrets.Org paints an entirely different picture.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

See my post above.

[ketchikan]

Bet my first reaction to this is correct.....Mr. Redstone is trying to stop the bleeding. Dems like him don't care how they do it.

[SFConservative]

I suspect you're right - I think it was in 1973.

(turns head to reception area) ... Marian!! Get me the Selectric!!

[ChocChipCookie]

If I were John McCain, I'd be embarrassed to be on that list.
