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.
If you saw Mila Kunis flapping her open hands next to her ears, what would you be witnessing?
(No peeking, but you would be witnessing an air-head re-feuling.)
Laura Prepon was way hotter and much more a woman than a this girl with a body of a 12 year old boy
RE: I have two daughters twice as nice as this creep.
Are they still single? :)
Young girls are so cute...dumb...but cute.
Typical useless Hollywood trash. Probably just parroting the left wing talking points anyway so Speilberg & friends won’t blacklist her. And way overrated in the looks department anyway.
I wouldn't mention that to Jake Blues
Another brain dead Hollywood type voted for Oblama. This is news how?
She’s gonna be a REAL BIG HIT at the Marine Corps Ball this year.
Beauty truly is only skin deep. As I woman I thought she attractive and thought possibly semi intelligent. Well. She isn’t smart at all. Just another mummy walking with her hands outstretched toward the cliff. This is why I left Hollywood. Just too many brain dead libbies beyond any sort of help
Kunis, “Hi Snickering Hound. Someday I will be fat—with blobs of cellulite all over these thighs, arms, face, and belly. I am also stupid and liberal. WIll you still hit it then and rule me not guilty when I am a fat, old, liberal, slob?”
lol
Clearly the little bubblehead is yearning for her Soviet Fatherland.
Don’t say this very often, and apologies to the ladies.
But: Dumb broad.
Haha. Good point. I liked her too until now. Too bad. Just like Matt Damon. She just lost my audience for any movie she makes. Can cross of the list the show of hers she just made. I won't even buy it on cable. This is how I show these jerks my 'love.' Just take away my movie for their products and never give them an ounce of my time again.
movie=money
