Angelina Jolie 'open' to entering politics [Because she has a 'responsibility']
The Telegraph ^ | 11/4/2014 | Harriet Alexander

Posted on 11/04/2014 10:03:17 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Angelina Jolie has said she could consider a career in politics, describing herself as “open” to a life of diplomacy or public service.

Jolie, who last month was made an honorary dame by the Queen for her campaigning work fighting sexual violence, has often been asked if she would consider swapping acting for politics.

But in an interview for the December issue of Vanity Fair magazine, which goes on sale on November 11, she said that, for the first time, she was warming to the idea.

“When you work as a humanitarian, you are conscious that politics have to be considered,” she said.

“Because if you really want to make an extreme change, then you have a responsibility.

“But I honestly don’t know in what role I would be more useful — I am conscious of what I do for a living, and that could make it less possible.”

When directly asked if she sees herself pursuing a life in politics, diplomacy, or public service, Jolie replied: “I am open.”

Because we need more people paid to do make-believe in front of the camera to run our lives.

Can’t say I recall ever seeing her in anything. Looking over her dozens of credits, I see she was in Hackers which I may have seen in the 1990s when it came out (at a dollar theater) but can’t recall ever seeing her act.

Who is this person again???

Here is a three step program I advise Ms. Jolie to begin practicing immediately:

Step 1 - When the director says: “ACTION”, begin speaking the words you have been told to speak.

Step 2 - When the director says “CUT”, stop speaking.

Step 3 - Do NOT speak again until the director says “ACTION”, at which point you may return to step 1.

Too bad she’s probably nothing like her father.

HE should have been the one to enter politics!

**I’d much rather her father run for office!**

Don’t know if I trust a guy that used to drive a Chrysler LaBaron and bites people on the arm.
