For the past couple of weeks, the right-wing advocacy group Citizens United has been renting billboard space in Hollywood to make fun of liberal celebs who bashed President Bush during the last election campaign.
"4 more years. Thank you, Hollywood!" blares the message on one, which features photos of Goldberg, Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand and other members of the Tinseltown Left.
Now Goldberg has fired back, sending a $35 box of Godivas to Citizens United's Washington headquarters along with a tart letter:
"Gentlemen: I didn't realize how little faith you had in your candidate. To give so much power to folks like myself is amazing. I thought you all said that the President won because of what he stood for, and now I come to find out that the only reason he got elected was because of people like me. This doesn't say much for your candidate. Enjoy the chocolate." NYDailyNews
The president did win because of what he stood for Whoops, all you and your hollywood friends did was accentuate when, where and why Americans wished to draw the line.
March 2, 2005 -- FOX'S "Stars Without Makeup" special that aired on Channel 5 last Thursday raised more than a few eyebrows among sharp-eyed viewers. "There were five or six credits at the end," observed an insider. "It was the regular credits, for producer, director, writer — except that every name was fake. No one wanted any retribution from celebrities or their agents, so they refused to use their real names." For example, the "writer" was credited as "Damien Thorn" — which happens to be the name of the devil spawn in the horror movie classic, "The Omen." In addition, our eagle-eyed insider added: "No Fox stars were used. It would have caused a revolt if they were." Instead, celebs like Cher, Melanie Griffith and Ryan O'Neal were featured. We also hear this may not be the last of the show that proudly billed itself as "unmasking" Oscar winners. The ratings were so good, we hear Fox may do it again. A rep for the network didn't return calls.
