Jessica Lange is determined to carry on her anti-war and anti-President George W. Bush stance - even though it almost cost her her life. The actress has opposed the war since US troops first went into Iraq, and she reveals her views have made her a hate target for pro-war, pro-Bush Americans. The 57-year-old says, "George W. Bush really has whipped up the most poisonous scenario of neighbor against neighbor over the war in Iraq. It's disgusting. There were times when it was really lovely to be out there and against the war. But then I had anti-war stickers on my car and some big f**king pick-up with an American flag tried to drive me off the road. It was scary and I was scared." She even accuses the media of picking on her, adding, "My anti-war work started four years ago when the drums were beating. The few of us who really spoke out at the time took such a beating in the press - even the liberal press - and on CNN; I was on a CNN news program with an arms inspector who had been in Iraq, and we were treated like s**t."

Sweetie! Those drum started beating LOUD when GWB was still in Texas as the governor of that state!
"CLINTON: Good evening.
Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors.
The hard fact is that so long as Saddam remains in power, he threatens the well-being of his people, the peace of his region, the security of the world.
The best way to end that threat once and for all is with a new Iraqi government -- a government ready to live in peace with its neighbors, a government that respects the rights of its people."

Sure does. Washed up movie star has-been hoping for more publicity...
Good post.
"I was on a CNN news program with an arms inspector who had been in Iraq, and we were treated like s**t."
Good.
"The few of us who really spoke out at the time took such a beating in the press - even the liberal press - and on CNN; I was on a CNN news program with an arms inspector who had been in Iraq, and we were treated like s**t."
Oh dear, how DARE anyone (especially anyone who actually knows the subject) talk back to Queen Jessica and the rest of the celeb "royals." Don't we serfs know our places???
So, you're a bad driver, and it's all Bush's fault.
OK, then.
Yeah, it sure sucks to be told "We won't let you do it again"
She makes me sick!
What a drama queen.

Did that moonbat really say that? Good grief! Fried brain!
Tawanna Lange
Perfect name. I suggest FR officially Christen her that name.
Yup!
She used to be so......attractive. Even now, I might be willing to keep my big mouth shut for a spell.
True, but that's an internal, spiritual problem and has nothing to do with threats from other people. ;)
Loved the movie where she was repeatedly raped by her prison guards, et.al. ....
(C'mon, it was just a movie...)
"I was on a CNN news program with an arms inspector who had been in Iraq, and we were treated like s**t."
If CNN treated her badly, it had nothing to do with her politics. Maybe they saw one of her movies.
