Hollywood heavyweights Paul Newman, Steve Bing, Robert De Niro and Matt Damon have boosted Senator John Kerry's presidential campaign as he bids for the White House next month. The Democrat hopeful is currently neck and neck with current US leader George W Bush in the opinion polls in the run-up to polling day on November 2. Over 850 celebrities and businesspeople have contributed to Kerry's campaign fund, of which a recent investigation in New York has revealed Bing, Damon, De Niro and Newman have all given money. Film producer Bing, who famously denied paternity of Elizabeth Hurley's son Damian and was later forced to admit he was the father, has written many cheques to the Democrats of up to $9 million. De Niro has generously contributed $28,800, Kevin Bacon $18,000 and Michael Douglas $15,300. The Bourne Supremacy heart-throb Damon has donated $27,000, while film legend Newman has given $54,000. Chevy Chase, who like Damon has also donated $27,000, fumes, "There's something venal and arrogant about Bush and it drives me up the wall." On Wednesday the Bush camp tried to downplay the celebrity connections and donations the Democrats have received, saying, "The world doesn't revolve around Hollywood."
Chevy Chase is a snot nosed idiot and a washed up has been.
Everyone in Hollywood knows this, Chevy's the only one too stupid to know.
And he never was very funny.
