Dressed in the latest design from the Olsen Twins' G.I. Jane Collection, Ashley Olsen is dragged to jail after she jumped the fence surrounding the White House. President and Mrs. Bush were unhurt. |
WASHINGTON — Declaring they are convinced Saddam Hussein isn’t such a bad guy and therefore "there is no need for war," Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (the Olsen Twins) led a spontaneous anti-war demonstration that ended in their arrest outside the White House. Both Mary-Kate and Ashley are demanding that President Bush use diplomacy to end the crisis with Iraq .
"All this talk of war is freaking us out," Mary-Kate told BSNN.net, "and after watching a rerun of China Beach , Ashley and I are convinced there is a better way."
Being entertainers, the Olsen Twins are longtime political activists whose first protest—shortly after their birth in 1986—was against the Reagan Administration’s support of the Nicaraguan Contras. Predictably, the twins also opposed the use of force to remove Manuel Noriega and won widespread respect in Hollywood when they protested the Gulf War by refusing to eat pizza until it was over.

Mary-Kate Olsen is gagged and arrested in Lafayette Square during a spontaneous anti-war rally near the White House. |
The twins seem unconcerned about a public backlash against their strong political stand and hope that their status as superstars can help sway some people to the anti-war camp.
"President Bush has declared 'either with us or against us,'" sneered Ashley, "and Mary-Kate and I refuse to allow that doo-doo brain to speak for us. He ain’t exactly Josiah Bartlett, ya know."
Insisting that they are patriotic Americans and agreeing in principle that Saddam Hussein should not be allowed to have weapons of mass destruction, the twins argue that just because President Bush and Saddam Hussein are angry at each other, that’s no reason to become violent.
To further their goal of altering the course of history, the twins have released a new song and music video, "Give Appeasement a Chance," which they hope President Bush and Saddam Hussein will use as anger management.
"If I’m angry or in a bad mood, I put on really loud music and dance around my room until I feel better," explained Ashley. "And that’s what we are urging President Bush and Saddam Hussein to do, too."

But for real.....C-Span will air The Pro-Life Rally live, today at noon. Watch if you can, because they sure won't replay it as often as they are last night's NARAL dinner with democratic presidential candidates.
I saw it on the internet, it must be true!

Cactus, what's your source?
I'm asking because the current issue of People (I know, I know) has them on the cover, and an article about wealthy teens. The magazine has them pegged at $76 million.
They're still young enough that a good conservative influence upon them could go a long way.
Who are they?
The article says Total fortune: $76 Million.
Not annual income.
Again, cite your source.
Hmmmmm. I'd just like to point out that, ultimately, you're getting all worked up about an Olsen Twins parody. Seems to me there's bigger problems to worry about -- like whether it's time to change the air in your spare tire.
The Ashley Twins = Austin Powers Dream Team as well.
The source, Bull S*** News Network, is only one reason why.
