Saturday's Names & Faces column in the Washington Post, compiled by Matt Kane, included this item:
Rick Schroder, the child star formerly known as Ricky, really digs nature. The onetime "NYPD Blue" star was in town yesterday, shovel in hand, taking part in Interior Secretary Gale Norton's national volunteer Take Pride in America program.
It "inspires people to take pride in parks," Schroder told us while planting trees alongside Mayor Tony Williams and schoolchildren in Watts Branch Park. "I've been involved with these issues for the past 12 years because I have a cattle ranch."...
Schroder, who is not shy about his conservative views, also met with President Bush during his brief D.C. stint. "He's a fantastic guy, let me tell you that," Schroder said. "I told him I wanted to help him get reelected."
Schroder's comments follow another second-tier celebrity praising President Bush. As recounted in the April 12 CyberAlert, on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly, Shannen Doherty extolled her love for Donald Rumsfeld, said she's "a big supporter of President Bush" and revealed that on her refrigerator she displays a picture of herself with Ari Fleischer.

END of Excerpt
Schroder starred as "Detective Danny Sorenson" on NYPD Blue from 1998 to 2001 and also starred in the early '80s sit-com Silver Spoons and later in the Lonesome Dove mini-series.
CUT TO MILLER HBO with MAHER
When liberal author/professor Michael Eric Dyson complained on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday night about how President Bush went to war in a crusade of Christianity over Islam as evidenced by how Bush "bows his head to God and prays to God," actor/comedian Dennis Miller fired back with an anti-Clinton quip: "At least he's not bowing his head to watch..."
Ronald Reagan's best man at his wedding to Nancy.
Liberal actors everywhere must be hacking and spewing over this. What a wonderful thought! Heehee...
Glad to know Rick is one of us.
I would never have guessed that, seeing as how he set Lucy's nose on fire.
BTW, Schroder is an avid shooter and member of the NRA. Built his own 2500 square foot log cabin on his ranch. One of this sons he named Holden. He was a speaker at the 2000 Republican Convention, praising GW. Just a bit of trivia for you.
As opposed to those "first-tier" celebrities like Sarandon and Barbara. They just had to get that in didn't they?
Maher had a particularly savage attack on Lieberman for his Judiasm, castigating him for not working on the sabbath.
Woodrow is still proud of him though.
