Stop I like her. She is not a skank. In fact she is very religious and has been in a long term marriage. She is one of a few Republicans in Hollywood. I would guess she is a RINO, but still even that is high standards for Hollywood.
We know that director Clint Eastwood is a centrist (which qualifies as a "Republican" in Hollywood). What makes you so sure about Hillary Swank?
You sure about that?
She was here in Cleveland last year w/ a bunch of other B list actors (e.g. Kevin Bacon) on one of those tours to "get out the vote".
I'm not claiming getting out the vote is inherently liberal, but the general views and PR surrounding that whole effort were really a Bush hate fest.
Very interesting (even if her great piety does not seem to have deterred her from accepting a role that was a sympathetic portrayal of a Lesbian). My point, however, was that Hollywood will take care of those whose careers (and "images") might be damaged by sympathetic portrayals of gay characters. Now that you mention it, maybe MS Swank accepted the "Boy's Don't Cry" role to avoid Hollywood Left persecution for being Republican and "religious".
