What do you expect. She is just another hollywierdo.

Michael Medved:

"...I think the secret to both the Hollywood leftism and Hollywood's obsession with what they call "cutting edge material" comes from the same tendency among decision makers in Hollywood. These are terribly insecure people. They are people who want to look like and sound like tough guys, adventurers, rebels. Now I don't know if most people out there have a good sense of what Steven Spielberg is like, but Steven is not a macho man. If you have a good sense of what Michael Eisner or Jeffrey Katzenberg or any of these people are really like, they are not captains of the football team. These are guys who have to go some distance to show their he-man status. People in Hollywood will do that in one of two ways.

The most direct way is by using a lot of "F-words" in your conversation. One of the things that strikes me and it's very peculiar, is in Hollywood meetings among top executives, people will talk like stevedores. I don't think there is any other business in the country, with women present, in very public meetings, where people will be "F"ing this and "F"ing that and using the kind of language that of course that you could never ever use on the radio. So it naturally spills over into the movies and it has to do with this sort of prolonged adolescence in which guys want to show how tough they are.

The sort of rebellious leftist stand has to do with the same thing to some extent. They idea that, "Well, we may drive in limousines and have big houses in the hills, but we are really people of the street. We are in solidarity with the proletariat. We are ordinary folks". What's ironic is that Hollywood has gone in an Ivy League direction. Stars like JODIE FOSTER, Angela Bassett, Sigourney Weaver, Meryl Streep, Oliver Stone, -- all of those of those people are Yalies for example. The more that Hollywood has become a province for people who were born with privelege rather than the sort of shop girls and truck drivers who once busted their way into the business, the more it has tried to pretend, absurdly, that it is not an elite and corporate industry. The more guilty they feel about their status, the more desire they have to assuage that guilt with leftist pieties."

As opposed to many of the old-timers...

Director William Wellman flew with the French in WW I.

Jimmy Stewart was a colonel in the Air Force.

Clark Gable served in the Air Force also.

Tyrone Power was in the USMC.

Robert Montgomery in the USN

Dennis Franz served in 'Nam in the USA.

And on and on...... Now we have idiots like Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and Alec Baldwin!

Talking like the people? If someone came to my working class parish and spoke like these garbage-mouthed Hollywood types around women and children, they wouldn't get out of the parking lot. Mouth, meet fist, fist shut mouth.

...
First using foul language proves these type of people are truly incapable of using their native language intelligently. Secondly foul language is used mostly by the druggie clique' for obvious reason.
Jess Jackson is a prime example.
