People are always saying, "shut up and sing." She did.

[Vision]

Our culture is upside down.

[TheBigB]

Well, darn.

[Melas]

She'll get blasted for this even though she really is trying to shut up and sing, or in this case shut up and do charity work. It's a pity more entertainers won't distance themselves from politics. Good for her.

[BunnySlippers]

What's to boycott? She was a ZERO before and a ZERO after. I would never buy anything of which she is selling anyway.

[Flux Capacitor]

Oh my God. Jessica Simpson isn't showing up. Now we're really screwed.

Am I the only straight male on the planet who doesn't find her even remotely attractive? C'mon, men, we can do better than this....

Jessica Simpson Snubs Bush

Guess she's not going to star on the L Word then?

[decal]

"Jessica Simpson on Wednesday turned down a invitation to meet with U.S. President George W. Bush, a snub that left Republicans dismayed...Simpson is currently featured wearing cowboy boots and hot pants in a TV pizza ad."

Yeah, I can see why the GOP is torn up not being associated with this person, whoever she is.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Good for Simpson. She's not a politician, and like Michael Jordan said when Dims tried to court him, even Republicans buy his shoes. She didn't want to alienate the liberal Hollywood Left and that's fine.

Psst....hey Jessica, now that you're single, why don't you take a trip to Green Bay and meet me somewhere?

Hi All-

Operation Smile Train is financed by those soon-to-be-imprisoned crooks from Computer Associates (CA) software. Sanjay Kumar, Stephen Richards, Ira Zar and a handful of others embezzled millions upon millions of dollars. The judge in the case has apparently stripped them of their passports (Operation Smile Train or not...) since they're likely to flee the country rather than face prosecution. Hopefully the kids get their facial surgeries, but rest assured the people behind the organization aren't exactly humanitarians.

Heaven help us, we’re finished.

Who is Jessica Simpson?

[Hank Rearden]

"I find it hard to believe she would pass up an opportunity to lobby the president on behalf of Operation Smile."

It's a private organization - she doesn't need to be there lobbying some politician (who already steals and squanders far, far too much of our money) to grab more taxpayer dollars for her pet project.

Ms. Simpson is right on. Leave the professional politicians the hell out of something for a change.

[La Enchiladita]

What a loss. What a tragedy. What is this world coming to?!!!

[yarddog]

I saw a program about operation smile a few days ago and these people are doing God's own work.

Actually, I agree with her on this. BTW, I think she is pretty but not gorgeous. Her figure may be too sexy if there is such a thing.

[Echo Talon]

Forti said the Republican group had even arranged for Simpson to dine at one of the head tables with U.S. House of Representatives Majority Leader John Boehner, an Ohio Republican.

I think she got scared that she would be siting next to a boner. Remember she isn't very bright

[Larry Lucido]

Cut her some slack, now. If I wanted face time for my favorite charity, I would have agreed to meet with Clinton, Carter, Johnson, Kennedy Truman. But just not at a fund-raiser.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Dixie Chick.

If this continues I don't see how he can possibly get elected again in 2008!

[SouthJrzReaganite18]

I heard one time she actually did go to the WH, she told the secretary of the interior, "I love what you've done with the place..."

Maybe there's a reason she doesn't associate with the political elite.

I kid, I'm sure she's a sweet young girl and I respect, like many of you, that she wants to keep her organization non-partisan.

Jessica Who?
