Susan Sarandon's 'Rabid' Republican Mom

Guests at [PBS humorist] Mark Russell's annual St. Patrick's Day house party were charmed Sunday by 79 year old Lenora Tomalin, a feisty supporter of President Bush and his take no prisoners stance toward Iraq's Saddam Hussein.

But they were shocked when Tomalin identified herself-to the likes of Tim Russert, Chris Matthews, Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing-as the mother of Susan Sarandon.

That Susan Sarandon- who has been leading the charge of the Hollywood left against Bush and pending military action (and claiming it will simply further American imperial designs and appropriate Iraqi oil) and who shares 3 of Tomalin's 19 granchildren with actor/director Tim Robbins.

Susan should listen to her mother. Mother knows best here....

[ewing]

Something must be haywire with the search function, nothing came up under Sarandon..

[Black Agnes]

Huh. Sometimes it's a little ornery for sure.

[ewing]

And Susan has programmed the grandkids into badgering her about Bush! Sounds like my house..

[CheneyChick]

"We don't agree, but I respect her -- more than she does me." But surely, we suggested, Tomalin's 56-year-old eldest child respects her mother's opinions. "Wanna bet?" Tomalin scoffed. Sarandon's office didn't respond yesterday to our detailed message and fax."

Sounds like Ms. Sarandon does not honor or respect her mother. But then, what else would one expect from Susan....

[ewing]

Typical liberal, Susan must think her mom is crazy or cenile..

[ewing]

Typical of most liberals who think that people who support the GOP are crazy or morons.

[CheneyChick]

That is pretty sad. Instead of teaching them to think for themselves and make opinions, she's giving them theirs. Happens a lot, I would guess.

[Temple Owl]

My guess is that a defective gene snuck in there somehow. LOL

[ewing]

At 13 years old I would have never dared to question my grandpartents on politics.

[ewing]

I think Susan is over programming her kids so they will rebel in college to become super conservatives..those things tend to happen

[jjm2111]

That's hilarious.

[ewing]

Maybe Susie is rebelling against her mom as well..

Proves that intelligence is not hereditary.

The mother of the Quisart Hadarak she is not, an avatar for the Hollywood Elite and Rob reiner she is, old and beyond childbearing and pleasure she is (Yoda Quote).

Sounds like it might be a struggle over dads affection..lol.
