Don't ask! Don't tell!

[cmsgop]

Good Start.

[FrankRepublican]

A nice gesture but I don't like her. My guess is teh TV syndicator paid for this to make her look like a nice lady like Oprah with the free cars that GM paid for. Two phony promos if you ask me.

I don't like Ellen and I have told American Express to stop sending me credit card offers because Ellen is their spokesperson and I get pop-up sh*t ads for the Am Ex Gold card.

[Graybeard58]

Good on Ellen!

What very generous things to do.

Thank you, Ellen, and God bless. Hopefully, other celebs will follow her example.

[Grey Ghost II]

Looks like free publicity for her. The woman is not funny at all. If it wasn't for her sexual perversions, nobody would know who she is.

[wolfonamission]

It's amazing to me that a no talent like ellen is still in the news.If she were not a lesbian she would have long ago faded into obscurity..

[1rudeboy]

Well done, Ms. DeGeneres.

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

Are these cruises for bisexual women soldiers ony?

[benice]

C'mon.....publicity or not...she didn't have to help the military. She could of gave away computers or makeovers. This was a great gesture...and I think it's VERY nice of her.....I also think she is very talented and funny. I applaud her for this.

Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, center, joined by actor Tom Hanks, left, appears with military mother Terry Garcia, right, of Long Island, N.Y., during a special taping of the “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” at NBC Studios in Burbank, Calif. on Tuesday. The studio audience for this Thanksgiving program was comprised entirely of family members of military personnel serving in Iraq. DeGeneres surprised the audience by giving away cruise vacations for four, along with 5,000 care packages to be sent to Iraq as part of the USO’s Operation Care Package Program.

Kudos to Ellen, and Tom Hanks, who I have always seen as a class act.

Although I know a few of FR's more unappeasable churchladies will still be taking their shots at her in this thread, I still say: 'Well done, Ellen!'

[Noachian]

She's too much of a liberal to be that generous without politics being involved.

Watch for liberals to be pro-military in the near future, and they may even go to a church.

[Mr. K]

Good for her, but... she is the most over-rated person on TV- why they keep giving her jobs is simple- promoting homosexual agenda.

Besides this was copycat of Oprah

[June Cleaver]

I always thought she was funny, though I do not agree with her lifestyle. Seems she got away from the whole in your face homosexual agenda thing a couple of years ago...and has donemuch better since then.

Now, about this give-away. I agree with bonfire, ginifer, benice, etc. It was a nice thing to do and she did not have to do it. We should be happy for small victories. She is not following suit of those Hollywood celebs who want us to think our soldiers and Marines are out killing babies and worse than Saddam. I say give her credit for doing something good.

I wonder if Tom Hanks had anything to do with it also?

[PISANO]

Keep it coming Ellen.........you have a long way to go, but I stand behind any effort that HELPS our TROOPS at home, abroad and when in Harm's way.

[wideminded]

I like Ellen. She may be a lesbian but she doesn't seem to hate men. That is somewhat refreshing.

[HitmanLV]

A wonderful gesture. Kudos to Ellen & he co.
