Maybe another 99 people with no clue -- but with with some name recognition because they are good at pretending to be someone else -- can get together and call a news conference.

[smith288]

left-leaning celebrities like Jessica Lange, Anjelica Huston and Elliott Gould

Yea, leaning is a bad choice. Try off the edge into a Marxist pit...

[Arkie2]

Non-partisan. Some were Democrats but most were Socialists and a significant minority were Marxists. That's what passes for non partisanship in Hollywood.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Actors Mike Farrell, Matt Damon and Martin Sheen ...

[Asclepius]

"The idea that somehow the end justifies the means, as you?re suggesting, is exactly contrary to the principles on which this country was founded," Farrell said.

Um, what? We fought a war for our own independence, Farrell.

[Cincinatus]

Misidentified. The guys pictured were entertaining.

[arthurus]

These are not left leaning

Not any more. They have quite fallen over.

[grammymoon]

I would like to see the entire list of signers.

[mystery-ak]

You have to remember these are actors...they read other people's lines....Im betting someone else(a writer) wrote their opening statement...especially after reading their answers on the Q&A.

How in the hell do 100 people who have no more intellect (most of them less) than I do, get to have their own little grandstand to spout "stuff and nonsense"? Why won't the press ask them one simple question, "Mr. Sheen, Farrell et al, just exactly what is your qualification to make such a pronouncement?" And the the follow-up question. "And just exactly, why should the press and other major media pay attention to such drivel?" I guess it's the old "I'm not a president, but I play one on TV" syndrome.

[Arkie2]

How dare you smear the reputation of the fine men shown by associating their pictures with the names of those scum!

[NeonKnight]

Why doesn't someone ask the question..."If there were no threat of war, do you really think there would be arms inspectors in Iraq right now?"

or..."The UN had 10 years to disarm Iraq peacefully, if Iraq is shown to have WMD, wouldn't appear that the diplomatic approach failed?"

[ladtx]

I can't believe you just insulted the 3 Stooges like that. That was totally uncalled for. Nyuk-nyuk.

[banjo joe]

Hold the phone, there. Farrell knows a few things about war: he was a *MASH* cast member.

This qualifies. Sally Field testified before con-gress because she played a farm wife.

[Puppage]

share the belief that Saddam Hussein cannot be allowed to possess weapons of mass destruction.

And, after the inspectors fail, and you try stern language.....WHAT THEN? Have you even THOUGHT that far ahead?

[SJackson]

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

[driftless]

All I have to see is Howard Zinn, Studs Terkel, and a few other arch-commies on the list to know that many of these vacuous celebs are just dupes of the extreme left.

[driftless]

Well said porcupine!
