Bill and Teddy Will Be Heavyweight Opening Acts for Kerry

- Hollywood contingency will be strong at Democratic Convention

By Maria L. La Ganga, Times Staff Writer

BOSTON — Former President Clinton will get the coveted primetime speaking slot on opening day of the Democratic convention here, while hometown favorite Sen. Edward M. Kennedy will speak during primetime on Day 2.

Ben Affleck, Sean Astin, Larry David and two Baldwin brothers, Billy and Alec, are set to headline a sizeable Hollywood cast that also will be on hand, helping John F. Kerry accept his party's nomination for president next month. ---SNIP--- But some things are abundantly clear. While Democratic strategists insist their convention will be Kerry's moment to shine, it will also be Teddy's. And Bill's. But particularly Teddy's.

Seems like a stupid strategy to me: Letting the Swimmer headline the convention on the 35ths anniversary of Chapaquiddick. And giving Bubba time to steal the spotlight from Flip-Flop.

I hope this is the RATS' strategy.

BTW --- What is a Hollywood "contingency"? Is the L.A. Slimes making up new meanings for words, too? Try CONTINGENT.

I still think a liquor bottle is involved in anything ted kenedy does.

It may be needed to summon him anywhere.

What wonderful strategery! By the time Billy gets done bloviating, Teddy gets done huffing and puffing, and the Hollywoodies get done entertaining and ranting and raving, the crowd will completely forget Ketchup boy.

As you travel next weekend or just buzz around town, encourage others to either vote for Bush OR not to vote for Kerry!

Yes,that's absolutely true and Bill Clinton is NOT going to help Kerry either.

What this article did not say,but what IS true,is that Al Sharpton is also going to to speak.Jesse Jackson may,as well and Dean and Kucinich and Edwards EVERYONE who ran against him in the primaries.

"The more Teddy's on stage the better.....for us."

No doubt about that. Why Kerry has Ted The Swimmer in his corner escapes me.

It will be wonderful, I am going to be overseas the entire week of the DNC Convention, and I don't plan on seeing a second of it.

I pity you all.

This evening I saw the rerun of Larry King's interview with Ron Reagan. He talked a little about his father but managed to hit all the Democratic Talking Points.

While watching I got a sick feeling that Ron may speak at the Democratic Convention.

Will Willie have them applauding when he says "in closing" again?

Hollywood faces don't do squat unless they are omnipotent like Arnold or Mel.

or Duke (RIP)

Kind of interesting how the left dismissed Ronald Reagan for being "just an actor" (despite being SAG president, GE spokesman, and well read on economic and govt theory)... yet trot out these intellectual lightweights.

In addition, Rob Reiner, Richard Dreyfuss and Leonardo DiCaprio, among others, are still trying to rearrange their summer schedules so they can help boost network attention for the four-day coronation of the junior senator from Massachusetts.

Yeah, that will get the network buzz going -- Meathead, a former cokehead, and a has-been pretty boy. Hooray for Hollywood!

Believe it or not, I heard the day the OJ of the Senate, Ted 'killer' Kennedy speaks, is the 35th anniversary of Chappaquiddick, to the day.......July 19, 1969. I would say it`s a coincidence but more likely it`s mocking on the part of the killer.
