The career destruction tour continues!

[bmwcyle]

I thought you had reached bottom as a lounge singer.

[Mr. Mojo]

The career destruction tour continues!

What career? Before the incident the other day the last time I heard her name mentioned was in the 70's when she was "dating" CA Governor "Moonbeam" Brown, which also probably happened to be the last time she had a hit song.

[wideawake]

The rapidly expanding Linda Ronstadt revels in her newfound notoriety.

[gopwinsin04]

Soon she will be playing Indian casinos in Fargo. (no offense to North Dakota people)

"What career? Before the incident the other day the last time I heard her name mentioned was in the 70's when she was "dating" CA Governor "Moonbeam" Brown, which also probably happened to be the last time she had a hit song."

I just look at this as an opportunity to see what Natalie Maines will be like in twenty years.....fat, dumb and miserable.

[skeeter]

I am so sick of these people & their big mouths.

[WoodstockCat]

Shut Up and Sing...before it's too late!

[blastdad51]

She must not be doing too bad lately, from the looks of her I'd say she's been eating well.

[ChadGore]

IT'S THE CONTENT, STUPID.

Everybody is talking about where she's saying it, why she's saying and not getting down the real point which is:

What she said isn't true.

Freedom of speech is not a license to lie to yourself and others.

She's free to lie in public, but it's our duty, under the first amendmentment to educate her on exactly how she's been mislead.

[marty60]

oops looks like she has slipped into a time warp, and thinks she's Joan Baez. To funny, she's on minute 10, of her 15.

[grumple]

'What if you're a female legislator? Does that make you a manly girl, or a manly woman?'

What if you are a washed up, has-been, overweight 4 hit singer, does that make you politically astute or just plain stupid when running your mouth at a consumer paid for concert rather than a self-imposed-upon-the-masses political rally.

Shut up and sing....

[KellyAdmirer]

She's following the Michael Moore principle, that you can ignite a career by catering to the 5% of liberal wackos who will actually pay tickets to see your work as long as you turn it into some kind of liberal political statement. She's still just a has-been, though.

[Optimist]

The career destruction tour continues!

Well it worked for The Ditzy Chicks

[freekitty]

There they go again, trying to turn everything into fair and balance. Equal, my you know what.

[gopwinsin04]

You ain't kidding, this was only 2 months ago!

[Dallas59]

I wonder how much money she's got?

[FITZ]

Yes --- does she sing new songs she has written in the past 30 years or are her songs just a bunch of golden oldies?

[ride the whirlwind]

'Half the crowd heartily applauded her praise for Moore....

She's a has-been who is giving her sagging career a shot in the arm with the political crapola. I haven't bought anything of hers in 20 years (& that was for somebody else) and see no reason to ever again, but lefties will probably all rush out to get whatever she has on the market. :-(

[Sans-Culotte]

You have to put yourself in their shoes. If you were a brainless has-been like Ronstadt or Streisand, and you really believed the Republicans were mean old warmongers who want to take away school lunches and force old people to eat dog food, then you'd probably be passionate about denouncing them, too.

It's the lack of brains that is the real problem for these people.
