An entertainer learns a lesson William D. Zeranski
Working for the common good is noble, but naïve support of nice-sounding causes can have its drawbacks, as actor and comedian Paul Rodriguez learned the hard way:
In recent months, actor and comedian Paul Rodriguez has made known his defection from the Democratic party (sic) because of the party's lack of interest in helping drought-stricken farmers like himself in California who have had water denied to them by court order under the Endangered Species Act to save an endangered fish, the delta smelt. [...]
"I always saw myself as an environmentalist. ... I've funded many of these things, I guess, because I've performed for them. Every time they call, you go there not really knowing what you're backing, not knowing that those dollars are going to turn around and, and hurt me, hurt those I love the most."
As environmental fantasies, especially Global Warming flummery, trump the needs, not just the wants of humanity, it's good to know there are those, with household names, in Hollywood, who've finally turned the right corner, even if it took an abusive relationship' to do it.
I live around Fresno and Paul Rodriguez has been really great with the issue.
No fun when the chickens come home to roost is it Paul. How’s that hope and change working for you?
It’s nice that he’s finally sane, but it had to hit him hard on his own personal finances before he realized the truth. Like most liberals, it didn’t matter when other people were being raped by big government.
Reality just smacked another Liberal right in the face.
Hope he and the farmers win.
Well at least he’s not blaming Carlos Mencia.
Conservative = Liberal that’s been mugged.
Don’t worry about all those farm workers being put out of work by the policies of those whom you supported, Paul. There’ll be plenty of welfare for them.
I’m glad he’s coming around, but I fear it may be too late.
Conservative: A liberal who’s been mugged.
Paul just got mugged.
What can we do? They’re not listening to us.
Who coulda imagined that a little fish was more important than human beings?
I’ve been on this issue for awhile. What more can we do?
“Conservative = Liberal thats been mugged.”
GMTA.
HEY GOP
Want Hispanic voters without dumping conservative principles?
Get busy helping these folks.
I’ve never been a liberal, but I have been mugged....by BIG BROTHER.
Was he the one that had the kidney transplant? If Obambi’s death care happens; he should expect to not get anymore health care.
“Was he the one that had the kidney transplant?”
No that was proud la Raza member George Lopez.

He finally realized which one is more valued among liberals. The strange thing is that if Rodriguez was a murderer on death row, then the liberals would care about him.
That’s what it is going to take, one liberal bitch-slap at a time.
In other words, his ox got “Gored.”
