NOW: (from USA Today): Says Sarandon, "It's so ironic that we should be quote unquote liberating another country and giving them a democracy when we're telling people here if they open their mouths, they're not allowed to participate."

THEN (from StopDrLaura.com): Academy-Award-winning-actress Susan Sarandon offered her comments and a photo for the StopDrLaura.com web site. "Dr. Laura has a right to her opinion, but I think it's irresponsible of Paramount to not give equal time, at the very least, to a person with a more enlightened and contemporary perspective," Sarandon's statement said. "I'm totally against wasting the airwaves giving visibility to a person who is clearly in dire need of compassion, education, and a good shrink herself."

"Cram it, Janet!"

Has she ever consented to appear at a cast reunion for Rocky Horror Picture Show? I know that for quite awhile she refused to do so. That film had far more impact than Bull Somthing...

Dittoes on the nice work kudos. Do you think she has enough grey matter to spot the hypocrisy? Sorry, stupid question.
