Not guilty.

She scored points with me when she accepted Sgt. Scott Moore’s invitation to the Marine Corps Ball, but, with her recent comments to the U.K.’s “Stylist” magazine, she lost that clout.
“I love Barack Obama, I voted for him and I will forever be proud of my vote,” she said, before defending his performance during the debt ceiling debate. “I know that he [Obama] tried. I know because you keep reading these reports of him trying to compromise with the Tea Party and the Republican Party and trying to come to a 50/50 agreement. I don’t think it was one. I feel the Democratic Party compromised everything and the Republican Party compromised pretty much nothing.”
Clearly, “these reports” she’s referring to came from limited sources. She’d've read a far different rendering of the debt drama if she had clicked on Hot Air a time or two.
But what really got my goat was the way she bashed Middle America. In a sequence of remarks in which she lamented the general lack of political knowledge among young people — and encouraged young voters to educate themselves simply by reading (a laudable sentiment) — she suggested folks in flyover country are less aware than those on the coasts.
She chided the younger generation for not reading books, the news, the paper, and then zoned in on “Middle America.” “So obviously you are incredibly ill-informed to the point where they will go do these tests in Middle America… And they’ll ask, ‘OK, what party are you?’ And they’ll say, ‘Republican.’ ‘Why?’ And they can’t even tell you. They have no idea what the Republican Party stands for. Why did I vote for Obama? I can tell you why I voted for him, what I agreed and disagreed with him on, for hours.”
Her advice for the youth of today: “Whoever you vote for, don’t do it just because. And don’t tell me it’s because of religion either because that whole thing is knocked completely out the window. So you better just educate yourself.”
I’ve been searching for these “tests” she refers to, but I’m having little success finding them. Still — let’s say Kunis is right and Middle America is less plugged into the national and international political scene than the coasts. I’d buy that for several reasons — the news media is concentrated on the coasts, the nation’s capital is on the East Coast and international travel is easier from the coasts. But, if that is true, in my observation, it’s at least as much because residents of “the rest of the country” are busy running businesses, raising families and going to church on Sunday as it is because they’re apathetic, as Kunis implies. But then, in Kunis’ opinion, religion is “knocked completely out the window” (by what she doesn’t say), so maybe the faithful should spend Sundays watching talk shows instead of listening to homilies to earn her esteem.
Additionally, anecdotally, I’ve met far more Southerners who’ve ventured to visit major cities on the seaboard than I’ve met coasters who’ve ventured to visit major cities in the Midwest and South. All of this is to say: the so-called “D.C. disconnect” probably does exist — but the disconnect goes both ways. That’s one reason I applauded House leadership’s decision to allow representatives more time in their home districts. Kunis might want to take her own advice and educate herself about what Middle America — and the Tea Party — actually stands for before she dismisses it out of hand.
Also, Mila Kunis won the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Young Actor or Actress at the 67th Venice International Film Festival for her performance as Lily in Black Swan.
She was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role for the same role.
Her latest film was FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS with Justin Timberlake.
Except for the Russian Mafia they have more freedom there now.
Who's BHO? I’m falling behind on pop culture. What’s this braindead ditz’s claim to fame?
She should shut up and take her clothes off...and frolic with ...
Oh, nevermind.
Not guilty.
I’m falling behind on pop culture. What’s this braindead ditz’s claim to fame?Making out with Natalie Portman in Black Swan.
>Yeah, I saw her in The Book of Eli.<
Yup. That was her. The 2 actors who were in Dracula: Gary Oldman and Tom Waits were also in it. I read rumors that the movie wouldn’t get made until Denzel, a devout Church-goer came on board.
Beautiful.
But “if she only had a brain”. hee hee hee
Hey she’s a Russkie, what do you expect? Of course she is proud of Comrade Nobama.
Once again we see the proof... There is no cure for stupidity
But he didn't pass around the collection plate first, did he?
Garsh the wind whistles through her ears. There is no compromise when you’re BROKE and in debt $14 TRILLION. You stop spending and you start paying off debt. Not incurring more, and you downsize your lifestyle. That’s just simple math.
Another dim-witted left-wing, marxist, Hellywood skank & whore, trying to impress somebody with her lunatic version of politics. I never heard of her before nor her movie claim to fame.
Not guilty because she lies well on cheap shag in front of love hotel mirrors?
That kind of devil-may-care attitude causes bed bugs and lice outbreaks — just keeping to the insect aspect. More public health and safety issues if we broaden the consideration.
Her favorite political pose.....or more likely just her usual skank pose! I think she’s trying to be the female marxist Hellywood version of Matt Damon.
These are the same people for whom "stereotyping" is the ultimate sin; these people will scream at you for generalizing or stereotyping groups of people. Except that it's just fine and dandy when they stereotype Republicans or Christians or homeschoolers or people from "Middle America."
The only one of those I’ve ever seen was The Book of Eli. I guess she didn’t impress me. Great, great movie though thanks to Denzel’s performance. IMHO. Never watched the 70s show. I lived through that miserble decade and don’t want anything to remember it. LOL!
nice pic
