Rebels With a Cause (Are Hollywood Republicans on the verge of a big break?)

HOLLYWOOD--It might have been the first premiere not intended for the public: John Kerry topping the credits and John Edwards in a supporting role, the cast rounded out by A-list actors who hopped into the fund-raising limelight to prostrate themselves at the feet of the most culturally liberal presidential ticket in history.

After Whoopi Goldberg wowed the Democratic crowd with locker-room musings on the alternate meaning of our president's name and Mr. Kerry scooped up a foot locker full of entertainers' cash, eyes were rolling outside New York's Radio City Music Hall. Somewhere in a La-La Land far, far away, in Hollywood and across the outlying Valley hamlets, everyday actors, writers, directors, producers and crew members dreamed of the day when the world would see that not everyone in the entertainment business lives to choke--gag--on his own foot.

These minorities, these aliens too often undocumented, these artists sorely underrepresented at loudmouthed fund-raising galas are better known as Hollywood Republicans.

Do you forward autograph requests? =D You should urge her to log on and become a FReeper (if she isn't already.)

What role did your cousin play? I've watched 7th Heaven since the beginning, and still watch the reruns. I love that show.

I know a woman who dated Robert Duvall's brother many years ago.

Apparently his father was a very intimidating Admiral.

Just a meaningless little tidbit there :-)

I certainly wish it is true that SMG is a Republican like her husband Freddie, but I suggest you will find nothing on line that will prove this. Sarah has kept silent when it comes to politics. I don't think we can find an example where she expresses her view on politics. Do any of you have any examples to show Sarah is a GOPer?

I do hope Sarah has changed from the time in the mid 1990's where she spoke well of Algore's "Earth in the Balance". If Sarah is a Republican I think that would come as a surprise to her fans at the message board at http://www.smgfan.com . Unfortunately, politics can not be discussed there.
