Downey joins David Mamet as a recent convert from Marxism.

I am sure some of the decisions(ie hard drug use, alcoholism) he has made in his life has caused him to take a hard look at where he was coming from. I say good for him.

Downey has been a train wreck for years. Let’s hope he now sees the light and can do some good with that new knowledge.

Here's another convert. Long but worth it.

[Miss Didi]

Andrew Breitbart just told the Friends on Fox that a bunch of Hollywood stars are coming out of the conservative closet this summer and will show their support for McCain...he named two, Angie Harmon and some girl on The Hills. He also mentioned Robert Downey, Jr.

Please give me some reference on David Mamet’s conversion. Thanks.

[Maceman]

This is a pretty big catch for our side: consider that Downey’s father, who made the radical underground film “Putney Swope,”

Barak Obama is the new Putney Swope.

Ping!

The guy who runs Breitbart (sp) was just on Fox & Friends speaking of this. The teaser was how many Hollywood celebs are really conservative. Steve asked him to mention them. He said he couldn’t out them all but mentioned Angie Harmon, which I already knew about, the young actress from The Hills Heidi something and Robert Downey Jr.

He said Move On and the Huffington Post are one reason for their outing and the fact that Mccain is not really a conservative. Duh. In other words, they wouldn’t be coming out for Bush or Romney.

I read this awhile ago but am still confused. What does going to jail have to do with abandoning liberalism? I thought it was a right of passage.

[TheWasteLand]

Now that Downey has blasphemed against Hollywood orthodoxy, how long will it take for producers to start claiming he’s not a very good actor?

[EDINVA]

that’s the end of HIS career in Hollywood

[webschooner]

Hollyweird Libs are so far Left off the charts, they think Johnnie McWhacked is a far right wing conservative.

I guess their little drug-addled minds would be really blown if we informed them that G W Bush is not a conservative either.

“I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal".

Send more liberals to the Pen.

[taildragger]

Does anyone know if the rumor was true that Morgan Freeman was a Conservative?

He flies a Cessna 414 and a Citation.

More pilots than not are Conservative.

[dfwgator]

Amazing how lucid one becomes after the drugs wear off.

[Tanniker Smith]

Actually, that bodes well for the "Iron Man" movie. I would hate to think that we'd have a flaming Hollywood liberal playing a rich, white corporate CEO.

I have been a fan of this guy since “Back to School” I met him back in ‘86 while he was shooting “Less Than Zero”. He seemed to me to be a genuine nice guy. It was sad to watch him fall apart through the 90’s. It’s great to see him back and wiser for the wear.

Read the book released for the movie...
( after the waste that was the hulk, I didn’t want to waste any more time in a theatre for a bad rendition.. no pun intended).

Looks like a good update for the story - bad guys are islamofundamentalists - Tony gets help from non fundamentalist local - kinda like the original - except VC updated and replaced with mid asians - And I hope that a drunken drug addict playboy does well as a drunken playboy.
