Bush 'stole election and poisoned democracy'

Madrid - US actress Jessica Lange says she "hates" President George Bush's administration and regards a possible attack on Iraq as "unconstitutional, immoral and illegal", Spanish press reports said on Thursday.

The 53-year-old Oscar-winning actress lambasted the US government at a press conference at the San Sebastian film festival, where she received a lifetime achievement award.

"What Bush intends to do with Iraq is unconstitutional, immoral and illegal," Lange was quoted as saying.

"I hate Bush. I despise him and his entire administration - not only because of its international policy, but also the national. Today it makes me feel ashamed to come from the United States - it is humiliating."

'The atmosphere in my country is poisonous' "Bush stole the elections and since then we have all been suffering the consequences. The Iraq plan is absolutely mad, but what I do not understand is that nobody tries to stop it - neither inside nor outside the United States," the actress added.

"The atmosphere in my country is poisonous, intolerable for those of us who are not right-wing, so thank you for inviting me to this festival and allowing me to get out for a few days," Lange said on receiving the Donostia Prize, presented by Spanish actor Jose Coronado.

She also slammed Hollywood and said she preferred to work in Europe. - Sapa-DPA

I also suggested that if she was that outraged with America, perhaps she should move to Spain, channel the spirit of Franco, and have her own little dictatorship.

Spain is way too good for her. Send her to Iraq. She can lewinski Saddam as he watches his snuff and torture videos.

The latest posted in the menu page at JessicaLange.net

The Jessica Lange Fan Forum & Guestbook are temporarily closed.

ROFL! Just like Alecbaldwin.com

Welcome to the official Alec Baldwin Online Guestbook! SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL OF OUR VISITORS: Due to the constant and steady stream of offensive material that has been posted here on my Guestbook, regretfully we are closing the Guestbook indefinitely.

FREEPERS GET THE JOB DONE AGAIN. Lefties choose to close their websites and hide rather than face the truth about their Anti-American hating traitorous comments.

We will have to check in on this site again when they 'think' the coast is clear.

I see that today someone posted that JL is about to become a grandmother. I thought that her private life (including her bastard children and living arrangement) were off limits.

I guess that they only like to talk about the "Entertainment Tonight"/People Magazine niceties.

The operator of the OJ Simpson/Robert Blake fan website must have gone through hell to keep his page pleasant.

I guess that the message board and guestbook must have severed links (they are actually stored on other websites). You can acess them from the above reference links.

Here is what Kristin wrote today when someone asked about if Miss Lange's comments were getting American press:

Hi Paulo,

I have not seen anything in the mainstream media about the press conference, but there are quite a few people mad at her as I have had to close the board and guestbook until they all find someone else to harrass. I am tired of dealing with them, they are extremely rude and vicious. (You must have the message board bookmarked)...anyway, I really don't know the the impact this will have on her stage career, we can hope none, but who knows...

Comments I have deleted posts from this message board regarding Jessica's comments in Spain. I will however leave them on the forum, provided that they are left in a civil manner open for discussion for others.
Kristin

Notice: Kristin admits to removing messages. She did not bother to delete the pro-Spain comments so Kristin has lied.

Silly weegee -- "a civil manner" means "you agree with Jessica".

I must agree though, outside of this Cape Times article, I can't find any references on Yahoo news or CNN.

It would seem that Hollywood is getting a free ride for this outrage.

When I searched Google for "Jessica Lange" "hate the president", I only found one match, ta-da! It was at JessicaLange.net in an article titled Dark Victory (from the Guardian):

Seriously? "Nooooo, I can't drag my kids out of the country just because I hate the president, although I would be tempted. [She laughs again.] You know, to see his smirking little face on TV every night, and to listen to him - he's such a stupid man.

What an empty headed moron.

A search of "Jessica Lange" "I hate Bush" reveals that MSNBC did give it some gossip coverage but outside of MSNBC, it got no wire coverage.

Has anyone sent this to Drudge?

She did eventually "get around to" removing the pro-Spain speech comments. Jessica's fans deserve to know that she is ashamed to be an American. We are ashamed that she is an American too!

Maybe if some of her fans knew what she stood for and assailed, then they would no longer be fans.

Their website is a false-front for the American Nazi Party.

Suuuure.
That will come as a shocker to my wife, who is Jewish and is a lurker here.

Ha! Whenever the left know they are losing, they will, without fail, refer to their opponent as a Nazi.

Here's another place to vent:

http://www.the-movie-times.com/thrsdir/actress/reviews/actressboards.hts?jlange+view

This site actually seems to be permitting the anti-Jessica statements as well as the pro (I haven't hit any yet in 20 posts).

Thanks for that link! I am glad to see that everyone, conservatives and liberals, are mopping the floor with that has-been b*tch.

Telling this to an audience that doesn't like President Bush isn't really a dare.

I'll say. Let her come over here and say this crap to our faces! Those people in Spain probably didn't even understand a word she said anyway.

Add another person to the list of "I'll be damned before I'll see another of their movies." Jessica, say hi to Julia, Eric and Martin!

Jessica Lange is the queen of the remakes (and the telefilm). You can see many of the films that she appears in in their earlier incarnations (which are often better films).

I guess Lange doesn't think the Clintons poisoned democracy.

They are fellow travelers, with a vastly different view of American democracy than you and I. The Hollywood leftists are a sad bunch, and frightening because of their access to the mass media.
