Redford Solicits Donations For Boxer Campaign
Aug 19, 2010 3:09 pm US/Pacific

WASHINGTON (CBS 5 / AP) - Hollywood icon Robert Redford is trying to help Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer raise money for her re-election campaign in a letter championing her efforts on the environment.

The actor and director is a longtime environmental activist who has been a regular donor to Democratic candidates over the years.

He says in an e-mail to potential donors that Boxer, in the wake of the Gulf Coast oil spill, has sought to extend a moratorium on drilling in federal waters along the Pacific Coast. Boxer's opponent, Republican Carly Fiorina, has criticized a permanent ban as shortsighted.

He also took issue with an ad Fiorina ran during the California Republican primary that dismissed Boxer's view that global warming is a national security concern. Fiorina likened that concern to being worried about the weather.

That should finish off her campaign right there. More Redford goofiness -

if California would allow drilling off their coast, they would be out of debt in a matter of months

[One Name]

He is trying to parlay a lifetime of disjointed efforts into a harmonic balance. But it isn’t there.

Psalm 127

1Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

[Seaplaner]

Actually, Mister Redford takes a risk here.

Boxer is so widely regarded as THE stupidest member of either house of Congress, that the endorsement makes Redford look ignorant and foolish, n'est ce pas?.

[Mortrey]

Remember when Robert Redford’s “Sundance Film Festival” showed that film where there was SEX between a MAN and a HORSE?!?

Don’t ever forget...THAT represents Robert Redford.

Why doesn’t he just STFU and ACT???;)

Two reasons

1. Have you seen is face lately? About the only role that he has any hope of getting cast into would be to play a Sci-Fi alien.

2. Redford hasn't played a major part in any movie in decades, he is a has-been.

The big mystery to me is what has done to his face? He’s had so much work done that he looks like an elderly Asian woman. There should also be a Congressional investigation into why his hairline is noticeably lower than it was in the 1950’s? Is it a wig or have surgeons removed his forehead to smooth out the wrinkles? So many important questions about the issues surrounding Redford.

[Soothesayer9]

Too bad. You’d think Redford’s character (Sundance kid) would be a Conservative.

[Soothesayer9]

Um..what?

I’d have thought something like that would have been all over the news.

Source please.

In January (2002), Redford declared, "So what if my face is falling apart? I don't give a damn. It gives me character. Everyone in Tinseltown is getting pinched, lifted and pulled, it's an obsession."

According to American reports, the movie veteran went for the plunge after being told by a cinematographer that excess under-eye tissue was interfering with shots of him. One Hollywood surgeon says, "He looks much fresher now. He's also clearly had a mole from his right cheek removed. "

When he11 freezes over, I will send 2 cents to Boxer's campaign.

Until then she will have to wait.

My favorite movie of his was “Little Fauss and Big Halsy “.

There’s an enviro profiteer.

Redford has exploited a beautiful wilderness for personal gain.

We get the face we deserve...

I hadn't seen him in a while so I had to find a recent pic.

Yes, he has lost some forehead, yet retained his blonde locks. While he looks a lot older, I don't see the evidence of the work done.

I worked for him for one week back in college and he was still pretty good looking back then.

I saw ONE "Re-elect Boxer" bumper sticker this summer and was duly shocked. Can anyone supporting her be any smarter than she is?
