Actress Scarlett Johansson Gushes She's Drunk the 'Kool-Aid' of 'Amazing' Obama
Newsbusters ^ | May 7, 2010 | Brent Baker

Actress Scarlett Johansson, who campaigned for Barack Obama who mentioned getting e-mails from her, remains in the tank for him. She admitted on Wednesday night's Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson that she was amongst those who “drank the Kool-aid” at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner last Saturday where she found him “amazing” and “hilarious.”

Monday's USA Today, as I tweeted, quoted Johansson: “I thought (Obama) was hilarious. He has a really dry sense of humor.”

When Ferguson's show returned from a commercial break, as the musical bumper ended viewers could hear Johansson telling Ferguson: “Obama was so amazing. He was hilarious, he was hilarious.” Recognizing viewers caught what she said, “we're on the air now,” Ferguson prompted her to explain, and so she gushed:

I was as the White House Correspondents' dinner and Obama was hilarious, actually. He really like, he, we all drank the Kool-aid. We were sold. It was amazing.

It ain’t a dry wit, it is plain ole arrogance of the first degree covered by some comedy writers.

Does Scarlett know where the Kool-aid metaphor came from? She surely is drunk on Obama. Just another typical Hollywood Air-head.

In her defense, after she said she had drunk the Kool-aid, she acknowledged that it sounds awful to say that. She didn't retract it, mind you, but she did attempt to moderate a tad. She remains drunk on Obama, that's for certain.

In some cases, that’s a serendipitous combination...or...
Works for me!

Thanks for the photo. At least we see where her brains went.

Cute. Not too bright, though.

I’m beyond being angry at run-of-the-mill liberal actors and actresses. People that go into artistic professions are disporportionately liberal, people in California are disproportionately liberal, and people who are self-involved enough to be celebrities are disproportionately liberal. Unremarkable.

His humor is “dry” because he read it off a teleprompter.

Rather than to simply claim she’s “drank the Kool-Aid,” I’d pose an even more challenging task for her: explain why? What’s the appeal? What the hell has he done?

There's another way of looking at this ...

On the hot-crazy scale, she's still substantially to the left of the "Mendoza diagonal". So ... she gets more slack than Rosie O'Donnell or Garofolo.

She might be making some sense here.

I'd have to see her naked first.

Scarlett is one beautiful broad.

But dumber than dirt.

Too bad she didn't marry a conservative lumber jack from Oregon,instead she set up with a gurly man liberal from Canada.So she has no immediate hope of achieving wisdom.

Kool Aid is a wondeful analogy. We still have some German and Italian stuff hanging around and its the same as Obama's.

a) Obama: Kool Aid!

b)Musolinni: Kool AidaCucinatta!

c) Hitler: Kool Aidenfreudenbudsaswhaergameinschaft!

B and C ended their lives in disgrace , after having killed millions of their enemies as well as millions of their supporters, both committing acts of Genocide against the Jews and Ethipoians.

It will be no different with "a" unless we stop him early.

And Scarlett?Will she be a victim of Obama? She already is IMHO. Dead girl walkin.

Obama if unleashed will become apocalyptic just as the others were. Poor Scarlett will be devoured like a knicker sandwich.

There is a very good reason why actors read from scripts.

I thought O’s remarks were mean-spirited and in poor taste.

My favorite actor quote:

"You shouldn't speak until you know what you're talking about. That's why I get uncomfortable with interviews. Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? They hand me a script. I'm a grown man who puts on makeup.

I was only 2 when that happened but I have seen photos and documentaries on Jonestown and it is nothing short of disturbing.I hope she snaps out of her ignorance and learns about it.And,as I am sure you know,I have seen Powers Boothe in that made-for-TV movie “Guyana Tragedy”. It is a very good made-for-TV movie,unlike the other 99% you will see.Seeing the dead bodies (of the actual victims) is very disturbing,gruesome,sickening and even creepy.There was a shot of JJ lying dead on the ground with his eyes open. Seeing that gave me a chill.I can just hear that dumb girl now;I’d imagine she’d say “Ewww!Gross!”.
