As I recall, she offered to perform at the Republican convention, but was turned down?
Help, anyone?
"I think Jessica Simpson supported Bush in the last election"
If ya got a link, I will put her on my good list.
I bet the PR people told her she'll be blackballed in the Clintons' Hollywood if she doesn't stop hanging out with Republicans. Did someone say "good night and good luck"? The lawyers probably also got to her and "advised" that she risked her foundation's tax-exempt status if she went to a GOP fundraiser.
I have no idea who she is, but such behavior demonstrates a lack of class. She must be a young person successfully indoctrinated to be a socialist democrat I would guess. The Democrats as a group, recently are publicly displaying callous, crude behavior uncharacteristic of a highly developed society; more like what you would expect in a third world country.
I thought Simpson was a Republican who voted for Bush in the last election.
She's so dumb she probably thinks President Bush is the thing she just shaved off.
I'm not going to diss her on this one. She seems to want to really do well with this charity and she is right. It shouldn't have any political overtones to it. And the way the press tends to sway stories she is probably smart to take this action.
I agree.
We could dignify it by amending it to read ".....rodent's rectal area." :-)
We must then disagree then, because it sure smells like "spin control".
If I were promoting a cause and the President of the USA took a personal interest in it, I would milk it for all the publicity I could get because it would benefit the cause.
Besides, isn't she a PAID spokesman for this group? Not exactly selfless.
Her pimp (Dad) wouldn't give her permission.
President Bush should refuse to meet with Jessica Simpson. :)
"".....rodent's rectal area"
Much more polite.
Thank you. ;-)
Where does it say he took a personal interest in the cause? She was offered some private time with the President. Sounds to me like the event planners trying to sweeten the deal to get her to show up. I seriously doubt he was even informed of why she was in town.
Further, I seriously doubt she ever agreed to go to the I would bet they leaked a story about her participating in hopes of making it hard for her to turn down.
Though Hollywood contains a few acknowledged and proud Bush supporters — such as Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis, Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears — they will not be making official appearances.
On the Wikipedia link, there is an alphabetical order list on the page where you can see her name.
I just hope that I can get within spitting distance of the Clintons at some point in my life.
Thanks. Here is the relevant quote from the article in the Washington Times (see post #32)
"Though Hollywood contains a few acknowledged and proud Bush supporters — such as Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis, Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears — they will not be making official appearances. "
