BRONXVILLE, NY (AP) ― Oscar-winner Jessica Lange bashed the Bush administration and denounced the war in Iraq during a Friday commencement address at Sarah Lawrence College.
The star of "Tootsie" and "Blue Sky" was applauded by students at the small liberal arts college after comparing the conflict with the Vietnam War.
She said the graduates -- including her 22-year-old daughter Hannah Shepard -- have "a heavy burden" to chart a new path for the country.
"We are living in an America that, in the last seven and a half years, has waged an unnecessary war, established prison camps, condoned torture, employed corporate armies, eliminated the right of habeas corpus, practiced extraordinary rendition, and believe me, this is only a partial list," Lange said.
Lange asked the graduates to commit themselves to the "pursuit of peace."
Guess what, Jess? You're free to GTFO and live any place else on earth. Try Iran or China, they are such peaceful and friendly places where your incredible lack of talent will be valued.
So, who asked her for an opinion on anything?
Why does a major wire service transmit the lightweight ravings of a dumb has-been actresses speaking before SAMETHINK audiences of airheads at Little Rich Girls U? How silly.
