"I don't really care about her movies, and I won't take pot shots at them. I'd just think it's nice to see that she has placed her children as a priority."

That was my first thought too. I never thought Julia was that much of an "out front" liberal so as to engender all the vitriol on this thread. Maybe I missed her "It's my turn to bad mouth President Bush" press conference. I always thought she was more of a movie star than an actress. You know, charismatic on screen but always playing pretty much the same character - Julia Roberts. But if she's willing to bag the tinseltown scene to raise her kids that's a big plus for her priorities in my book. You go girl.

She's been a pretty strident liberal over the years, although mostly keeping it out of the press.

I do commend her decision to start a family though.

A few years back she made the comment that "Republican comes between rat and reptile" or something close to that.

Here's one of her insightful witticisms:

"Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant".

Yeah, right Julia!

BTW, my Webster's Pocket Dictionary shows Republican appearing between republic and repudiate. But nobody has accused Julia of being intelligent, so we'll forgive the poor dear!
