I was actually planning on doing a DUFU about either the DUmmies or KOmmies biting their fingernails over the survival of public option in ObamaCare. Right now they are acting as if their very existence depends on public option remaining. However, I find the constant micro-analysis of each little nuance and twitch of the various Senators and Congress folks to be highly annoying. Like their self-absorbed neurosis was making me neurotic reading about it. Therefore I decided to go with the FUn THREAD, "Actors you were bummed to find out were Republican..." At least one of the actors mentioned actually surprised me since I would have never guessed him to be a Republican. So let us now watch the DUmmies get bummed out over Republican actors in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, reminding everybody that Lou Costello was a conservative Republican (really), is in the [brackets]:
Actors you were bummed to find out were Republican...
[John Wayne?]
Robert Downey, Jr.
Can't believe he went all Pro Bush...
[I have to admit this actually surprised me as well. Even more of a surprise than finding out that Richard Feynman was also a Republican.]
Tom Selleck. I thought he would be too smart for it.
[I figured Selleck for a conservative...which is why Rosie O'Donnell went nuts on him.]
Jimmy Stewart. From all his movies you got the idea that he was an empathetic humanist. He was a solid repub though.
[No surprise there. I already knew this about Jimmy.]
If he were alive today, I think he wouldn't still be a republcian.
[Somehow I can't picture Jimmy Stewart hanging out with the ACORN crowd.]
William Holden and Barbara Stanwyck... were two more old school republican, Eisenhower types
[William Holden was Best Man at Ronald Reagan's wedding. Barbara Stanwyck? She was the wife of Robert Taylor who testified in Congress about the Reds in Hollywood.]
Bruce Willis, Dennis Hopper
[And Willis had the sense to ditch that airhead Demi Moore.]
wow, would not have expected Dennis Hopper that is sad
[May we send you a consolation card?]
Patricia Heaton. I absolutely despise her since I found out she's a Republican. Especially after I read some of the comments she has made. Blech!!! That's the only one that bothers me. Don't have any negative feelings about the others I know of who are Republican.
[Send her to The Hague for political Thought Crimes.]
I can't watch her anymore. She is a good comedic actress. However, once I know something like that, it just destroys my image of them.
[Is Playboy Playmate Petra Verkaik a Republican? Somehow I don't think her politics would be my main concern if I ever happen to bump into her.]
Robert Duvall. he's a REAL asshole, too. smug, arrogant, uber macho prick. so that makes it easier to loathe him, unlike Downey, who I've always liked a lot can't believe he swings that way must've been all the drugs
[Was Gabby Hayes a Republican? That knowledge would greatly influence how I perceive Roy Rogers movies.]
What??? Robert Downey Jr.?? Is that true? I had not heard that. My wife will be crushed when she hears this -- he is one of her favorite actors.
[Your wife will have to retire her bong pipe.]
Clint Eastwood
[Kind of hard to think of Dirty Harry as a kneejerk liberal.]
Stallone. Who coulda guessed?
[Easy to guess that when you watch the Rocky Balboa movies.]
Gary Sinese
[No surprise there. And I've been a big fan of his since watching him in "True West." A great play.]
John Voight
[No surprise now but years ago I sort of had him pegged for a liberal.]
Jim Caviezel
[Jesus was a Republican. Remember that.]
Mary Tyler Moore told Parade last year how much she loves Bill O'Reilly and said she'd campaign for McCain/Palin if asked
[FUn Fact: Morey Amsterdam from the Dick Van Dycke show was a big supporter of Ronald Reagan.]
Adam Sandler shattered my illusions.
[Another Republican. I loved him as Dave Buzznik in "Anger Management." Was Dr. Buddy Rydell also a Republican?]
Phyllis Diller.
[Bob Hope must have rubbed off on her.]
Here is a list of them: MEATLOAF? And, Cindy Williams of Lavern & Shirley
[I never thought about it before but Meatloaf's political leanings surprises me as well.]
R. Lee Ermey is a Republican?!
[How could you possibly think that Sgt. Hartman would be a liberal Democrat?]
Micky Dolenz of the Monkees. He apparently appeared as a headline act at a teabag event in Texas. Bummer.
[Peter Tork?]
Drew Carey. Majorly bummed about that
[Then I better not tell you about Lou Costello.]
Well now, to me it doesn't matter what, if anything, he calls himself. If he believes in those things, he's on my team.
And BTW, let's not forget about:
(Victoria Jackson)
I taught a friend of mine about strategic couponing. He never did it before. Anyway, he was amazed that he was able to buy 14 TGI Fridays frozen snacks PLUS 4 bottles of olive oil for only $3 total. Actually he could have done even better than that but it was a good start.
Kurt Russell is a Libertarian.
I am too busy selling stuff I find at garage sales and auctions to mess with that, but if you were good at it you could make a little bit of money selling cosmetics and stuff.
Vanderbilt 1914 Yearbook bought with a box of books for $1.00, sold it for $63! I love obscene profits.
I’ve been using Windows 7 for 9 months now and quite happy with it. I put it on a Netbook and it works fine.
If you’re going to be traveling, a standard computer setup at home and a netbook would run you about $700 but that’s a lot of flexible computing power right there.
Cool!
They also missed Adam Baldwin from Firefly/Serenity and Chuck.
p.s. Target now has a deal on TGI Fridays. Will check that out at Super Target tomorrow but I don't think they will beat the Publix deal from two weeks ago. BTW, ALWAYS collect the $2.00 Starbucks ice cream coupons because every couple of months Publix does a BOGO (Buy One Get One Free) with them. So using the $2.00 coupon, you get FREE ice cream. They have the BEST coffee ice cream. I like it better than their coffee.
Hee! Hee! I already traded over a hundred of those TGI Fridays dinners for other stuff that I needed but I would have preferred to have stored them in a floor freezer. Too bad I don't have one.
Duvall is a class act.
So is Morgan Brittany, Delta Burke and Jennifer O’Neill.
Stephen Baldwin?
My computer was 10 years old before I bought the $300 Wal-Mart E-Machine Althon. It runs at 1.6 GHz and the Athlon is designed for gaming. I like to play Anarchy Online and it does the job well.
Stewart was, as we say in the military aviation community, a stud.
I once bought a yearbook for a private school in Atlanta from the 1960s. It had a picture of Werner Von Braun's daughter in there. She looked quite a bit like the Dad.
Man, I love that scene.
Just read Lonesome Dove this summer. Awesome book. Reading Streets of Laredo now.
Didn’t know Schroeder was a conservative.
I assume Kirk Cameron is, too, though I’ve never heard him say anything political.
No. I used to sit on the porch and the raccoons would come up and eat of my hands. Two years ago I had four foxes I would throw cheeseburgers and hot dogs to. I live in the city but there are all kinds of critters.
parsy, who lives in Arkansas
I knew I had a huge crush on her back in the day for a reason.
As for Gene...I remember seeing him on Family Jewels actually in tears talking about some of the veterans he’s visited and how everything he has is because of freedom they bought. Glad he’s on our side. :-)
