Angelina Jolie Makes More Sense than the Democrats on Iraq
February 29, 2008

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

<SNIP>

Everybody today is raving about a piece in the Washington Post by Angelina Jolie in which she just got back from Iraq. She says, "We have finally reached a point where humanitarian assistance, from us and others, can have an impact."  Her point is to stay, help the Iraqis, especially those who are out of the country, want to come back home, the time is right now, and that the surge is working.  Now, if you read the piece by Angelina Jolie today in the Washington Post, you will conclude that she is deeper and in ways more specific than Obama about this if you read the whole article.  She makes more sense than Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama or anybody on the Democrat side about this.  It's stunning.  I've had some people, "Rush, you realize, she didn't write it." I don't know that she didn't write it.  I'm not going to assume she didn't write it.  (interruption) That's another thing, that's a good point, too, it's pretty brave of her to do this, given Hollywood and so forth.  But she's big enough to withstand it, and it sort of makes me appreciate this Brad Pitt guy a little more.  He's gone after substance here, is all I'm saying.  This really is a good piece.  

"My visit left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation." We discussed this yesterday, moral obligations versus rights in health care.  "We not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis. ... What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made."  She makes more sense than any Democrat that's out there running for office.  She makes more sense than any Democrat anywhere in this country talking about Iraq, other than Lieberman.

We did not impose poverty on Americans; we did, however, impose poverty on the Iraqis more than once via economic sanctions and a war-torn country. These are situations we created and thus, have a moral obligation to correct.

“I saw on TV when she went to a Hollywood premier wearing a little black dress she got at a thrift store for something like $25.00. I like that about her.”

Wow — now I like her more, too. Multiple kids, thrift shops, Iraq, and Brad Pitt. :-)

Yes, big, old Momma Angelina looks hot there... but in real life, I wouldn't touch her with a ten-foot pole or a 9-foot eyetie unless I was really, really, really drunk!

"...unless I was really, really, really drunk!"

So you are open to daily multiple encounters with her then...

Angelina is a big fan of Ayn Rand, and is a member of the Atlas Society. She is very much a searcher for “John Gault”.

Wow. And, like, Valley Girl Deaux, is like, so feeling guilt-ridden, (Jolie) she has to jump through all these hoops...

Wake up and smell the Hollywoodism.
