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."

I get the biggest laugh when Nathan's 13 year old brother sees Dora come on...that show sends him into a conniption fit!
I'll never try and convince someone that they 'need' to be parents to be fulfilled. In my case, my three kids are the best thing that ever happened to me.
CAN WE BUILD IT? YES WE CAN!!!
WOW, how deep and studious they are. {rolling eyes}
Predictably, the twins also opposed the use of force to remove Manuel Noriega and won widespread respect in lywood when they protested the Gulf War by refusing to eat pizza until it was over.
Manuel Noriega... good grief. Do these two read up on anythhing for themselves?? Won respect of hollywierd by refusing to eat pizza???? heavy, sad, sick-to-my-stomach *sigh*
Sadam and Bush need to just turn up their radios and dance their angry feelings out.
something this astute could only come from the left-holly-woodheads.
I would have ---but when I saw the picture I quickly went to the source ---I figured it had to be the Onion or something.
Oh I'm SO glad they informed themselves before going out to this party, oops, demonstration. Sounds like their agent told they need more 'adult' face time on camera.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
These two are made up to look more alike than they actually are.
