JERUSALEM -- Actor Richard Gere has recorded a TV commercial urging Palestinians to vote in their election Sunday.

In a transcript obtained by The Associated Press, he said: "Hi, I'm Richard Gere, and I'm speaking for the entire world. We're with you during this election time. It's really important: Get out and vote."

[Old Grumpy]

"You're NOT speaking for me, Gerbil Boy."

I couldn't have said it better!

hehe-- I linked that same thread on another Gere post just now.

A peaceful Israeli region (notice I didnt fall into the trap and say palestine) is in his interest........gerbils are native to the region.

[Catspaw]

Richard Gere spent far too much time in his gravity boots.

The sheer arrogance, stupidity and hubris of these mediocre, brain dead, spoilt Hollywood creeps is simply beyond belief.
Trouble with Richard Gere is, he's started to believe his own nonsense.
Time for this clown to at least get honest with himself and acknowledge that he is an ignorant, clueless bumpkin, just strutting about and spewing out inane rubbish.

Yes, Gere is really a total fool- his cause is idiocy, and I'm sure that 99.999% of palestinians don't even know who the heck he is. Gasp! How could they NOT know who richard gere is...wait, I'm sure all the palestinians can borrow a copy of 'An Officer and a Gentleman' from the Yassir Q. Arafat Memorial Public Library and Explosive Depot. (sorry, too much coffee too little sleep)

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

[Citizen James]

Hi, I'm a Gerbil, I speak for the entire world. Richard Gere sucks!

[Savage Beast]

To paraphrase the Spartans' response to Alexander's demand that he be recognized as a god:

If Richard wishes to be a tulku let him be one.

[hosepipe]

Now there is a Dick that needs to be circumsized badly..

[Sam's Army]

Guess the "Free Tibet" movement lost steam eh, Richie?

Too bad, that was one issue you and I agreed on.

[veronica]

Another limousine liberal.

[reagan_fanatic]

Don't these moronic Hollywood @ssholes have anything better to do with their time!!?

Go back to stuffing gerbils, Richy.

[DTA]

Hi, I'm Richard Gere, please go see my new movie

PALESTINIAN GIGOLO

[Mi-kha-el]

And they are getting more and more weird by the hour. And where the heck is Michael Jackson when you need him?

[AD from SpringBay]

I wonder how much Mr. Gere was paid to speak on the world's behalf? Remember boys and girls - actors get paid to play pretend and they know more than you and me.
