I thought Freepers might be interested in this list of nickel and dime supporters of the mega-million fund-raising campaign of Dean.

I will be watching carefully after he is ignominiously dumped by the Dems to see where this money goes.

[Lancey Howard]

Morgan Fairchild?
Are you sure about that? She's a Republican.

[EGPWS]

She's a Republican.

Really? If so she's a fine physical example of a Republican! IMHO

[Paleo Conservative]

Morgan Fairchild?
Are you sure about that? She's a Republican.

Like hell she is! She is a very rabid anti-Republican. She has nothing but venom in her remarks about Ronald Reagan. She's just a better looking Susan Sarandon.

[The Great RJ]

I'm sure Babs Streisand is waiting for Hillary's campaign for her donation.

[headsonpikes]

Crusty The Clown sent him a bad check.

[rs79bm]

Not very hefty considering the money those people have.

[Roscoe Karns]

IMHO, Robin Williams was never funny. I can't reach for for the remote fast enough whenever I see his annoying face on the tube.

[My Favorite Headache]

Jim Belushi...so sad.

[Madame Dufarge]

Stephen King ($2,000)

This doofus was also the state of Maine's biggest contributor to the Clinton Defense Fund.

But what else would you expect from someone who's made a living off fantasy his entire adult life?

[EllaMinnow]

I think it's Morgan Brittany who is a Republican.

[E=MC²]

Ah, yes...the usual suspects.

[Huck]

IMHO, Robin Williams was never funny

Totally agree. When I was 8, I thought Mork was kind of funny, but Jonathan Winters and the guy who played Exidor were much funnier. My wife and I have a list of celebs were can't stand to watch--based solely on their craft, not their politics--and Robin Williams is right up at the top with Elton John, Paul Reiser, Kevin Costner, and few others.

[Toespi]

That is exactly what I was thinking. Once it again, it is easy for these people to talk the talk because it gets them noticed but when it comes time to walk it, they are not quite as devoted. They pay that much for haircuts.

[bootless]

Jonathan Winters is a certifiable loon! Who was Exidor - was that Richard Donner, or something like that?

[Paleo Conservative]

She's not Here is an exerpt from 1988.

HOLLYWOOD's Campaign. Left-wing activist Tom Hayden, better known as Jane Fonda's husband, decided to organize a celebrity bus caravan to register voters. The "Star Spangled Caravan" traveled from rally to rally in California, Oregon and Washington to sign up Democrats to vote for Dukakis.

TV and movie stars on the bus included: Justine Bateman and Michael Gross of Family Ties, Goldie Hawn, Eddie Albert, Howard Hessman of Head of the Class, Morgan Fairchild, Lloyd Bridges, John Ratzenberger of Cheers, Moonlighting's Bruce Willis, and "ratpackers" Ally Sheedy, Rob Lowe and Judd Nelson. Several other stars, including Sally Field, Richard Gere and Daryl Hannah have accompanied Dukakis during California campaign swings.

The George Bush campaign managed to find a few celebrities willing to publicly back his candidacy. Among them: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Telly Savalas and Cheryl Ladd. The liberal culture that predominates Hollywood helped Dukakis out in other ways. Burt Lancaster along with Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker of L.A.Law volunteered to star in pro-ACLU ads. But the Bush campaign had to scrap counter ads. Why? Because, as Bush entertainment liaison Rene Henry explained in the October 17 Los Angeles Times, "some very big names" declined, for fear of being blackballed for going after an institution considered sacred by the Hollywood Left.

Morgan Fairchild - (maybe she's figuring to go for SecState?)

Janeane Garofalo - $250 .........

Wish theywere's making a small comment.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

She's just a better looking Susan Sarandon.

Morgan is a dimwitted floozie.

Sarandon is a common tramp!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

This doofus was also the state of Maine's biggest contributor to the Clinton Defense Fund.

King gets off on horror, not fantasy.

Clintons....horror.......fits.
