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

"What Bush intends to do with Iraq is unconstitutional, immoral and illegal," Lange was quoted as saying. I'd like to hear Lange recite ten words of the Constitution -- without cue cards.

You gotta remember that this is the twerp that Hollywood calls when they need someone to portray insane women: "Frances", "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", "Streetcar Named Desire", etc. Not only that, but I seem to remember reading something about King Kong dropping her on her head . . .

FOFLOL. Have you also noticed that a large number of those who have done that are getting just a little bit loooooong in the tooth ? Perhaps the only way they can still manage to draw a crowd is by joining the Hate America crowd. Isn't it odd that they don't hate America as long as their career is moving along and they're still considered a winner at the Box Office.

Also, they wait until something safe, like bashing a conservative/Christian, comes along. They kept their mouths shut when Bubba was bombing to distract from his fellatio.

Today it makes me feel ashamed to come from the United States - it is humiliating." Now you know how I fel when Clinton and his crew were in our White House -- especially during that "wag-the-dog" war in Kosovo.
BTW, where were all these peace-loving Democrats when Clinton was initiating force against a non-threatening sovereign nation (withou UN authorization) in order to effect a regime change? Where was all the concern about civilian casualties when we were bombing Belgrade for 78 days?

This is not her E mail address. It is a fan sight. She will never read it.

The Hollywierd types don't get it. They are engrossed with themselves thinking that their opinion is special.
If they don't like it that's OK but they are representing only themselves, obviously not the 65 plus % people in this country that support President Bush and approve of his administration.

It really is a crying shame that someone who, a few years back, was just about the sexiest woman in Hollywood, has no brain.

Kristin must be pulling her hair out (like Jessica Lange in this photo from her site) over the Freeping she received!

Lemme know how feel about America haters!
I cracked up when I clicked on the link and the first thing I saw was,"current members in Jessica Lange." How can someone who failed to edit this out be taken seriously?

Look this one up in your Funk and Wagnall's!
Usted odia el presidente, yo pensó que el odio no es un valor de la familia. Usted debe ir a España y convertirse en un viejo cuervo, nadie cuida lo que usted piensa.

This explains Zippy the Pinhead's situation perfectly. He can't make a move in society without find out what his favorite celebs think on a topic. He might forever feel guilt when he watches Angela Lansbury if he doesn't vote for her candidate in an election.

can we just let all the academy members vote and announce the results. Much preferable to the idiot of the day quotes.

True story: Sam Shepard is a drunk who is a skirt chaser.
How do I know? I *met* him one night as Tosca's here in SF. Yes back in the day.
No one was in there but he thought I was very pretty. Only the owner was in there. And this other person.
I didn't go home with him or anything like that, but he was already hooked up with Jessica at that point.
Shortly thereafter, rumors in the local paper, ie, Herb Caen's column about Sam and another woman floated up.
I'm glad I wasn't another notch on his belt.
There's been tons of rumors over the years about Sam and other women, that Jessica and him had a Hollywood Arrangement, but I wonder if the ol' Hollywood Arrangement is the reason for the latest outburst?
Also, fyi, Susan Saranwrap and Tim Robbins also have a Hollywood Arrangement.

She should check out her right to freedom of speech in every country. Take a whirlwind tour. But add some spice to it. Telling this to an audience that doesn't like President Bush isn't really a dare.
Instead, whatever country you are in, start criticizing their government for human rights abuses. Ask how long their leader has been beating his wife. Tell them that the god they worship is false and that the real God is dead too; sell them on the science fiction alien story that is Scientology.
Commission an artist to portray their leaders seated at a table dining on feces. Ask to have an exhibit in their finest museum. Tell them to stop getting so hung up over dead white European males.
Parade through Saudi Arabia showing off the latest in thong fashionwear. When they cite you for indecency, cry out about the "indecencies" of the way women are treated, persons of non-muslim faiths are treated, children are treated, etc.
To do any of these actions would bring about shouts of "the Ugly American" and yet we have plenty of people in our own country who do just this. What's more, we have Eurotrash who come over here to complain about our government.
I think that secretly these countries are embarassed that they still stand in awe of monarchies; their secret shame.

That goes along with what I have been saying. Notice that the Bush protestors never came out to protest after the WTC was attacked, they came out when they saw we were going to retaliate.
