Michael Douglas hit the campaign trail on behalf of Mike Bloomberg Sunday, after it was revealed the actor's father Kirk Douglas bequeathed his entire $60 million fortune to charity.

The Wall Street actor, 75, appeared in the former New York City mayor's hometown of Quincy, Massachusetts, telling the crowd: 'This is really, truly one of the best candidates we’ve had running for office in 30 to 40 years.'

But Michael Douglas told a crowd in Wisconsin earlier this month that his Hollywood legend father tipped Bloomberg for president just before he died.

'I leaned over close to him, and he said, 'Mike can get it done,'' the younger Douglas, who has lent his voice for Bloomberg commercials, told the crowd, to a throng of cheers.

“Mike” was Kirk’s boyhood sled.

These Hollywood screw worms must think most people are dumb to the bone.

The low-info types pay ridiculous money to watch the airhead crap they make, so they may have a point.

JudgeJudy, Barbara Streisand’, Mike Douglass...Jews sticking together for one of their own. Not that there is anything wrong with that but it will obviously be a pattern among a lot of the Jewish faithful.

And salt.

Once table salt is outlawed the old cross dresser will be queen of salt. Bloomberg’s plan is so mad it just might work.

[Lazamataz]

Yeah, Kirk Douglas' last words were OF COURSE about an election he'd never see.

[xp38]

Bloomy has Clint Eastwood too.

I’d guess they have a whole lot less fans and ticket sales than they did a decade to two ago.

Douglas doesn’t need his fathers money.

And we don’t need his candidate.

Quimby let’s me drink a half gallon of soda if I want.

[robel]

What’s the going rate for a celebrity endorsement?

[Salamander]

Kirk was all class.

His son makes my skin crawl.

[irishjuggler]

And he’s married to Catherine Zeta Jones!

Back in the good ol' days here at FR, mention of CZJ (or more frequently Mo Dowd who briefly dated M Douglas) would have resulted in someone posting a dazzling array of CZJ pics.

Simple search says Mike is worth $300 million. Why he is spending time and energy for little Mike is curious.

My local fat broads and token horse-faced lesbians voted for Trump and will likely vote for him again - just saying. :P

“the actor’s father Kirk Douglas bequeathed his entire $60 million fortune to charity. “

looks like dad made a wise decision ...

"it's revealed his father Kirk Douglas left him out of his will and bequeathed his entire $60m fortune to charity"

Clickbait headline. Michael is plenty comfortable and his father loved him just fine.
