Oct. 1 — Add Jessica Lange to the growing list of celebs speaking out against George W. Bush’s policies. The star of “Tootsie” — receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award at the San Sebastian film festival in Madrid, Spain — declared that she “hates” the U.S. president and said his call for an attack on Iraq is “unconstitutional, immoral and illegal.”

“I HATE BUSH. I despise him and his entire administration — not only because of its international policy, but also the national,” Lange told the audience, according to various reports coming from Spain. “It makes me feel ashamed to come from the United States — it is humiliating.”

“Bush stole the elections and since then we have all been suffering the consequences,” Lange told the enthusiastic crowd. Although Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg have recently spoken out in support of Bush’s proposed attack on Iraq, Lange joins a growing list of stars who have questioned or condemned it, including Barbra Streisand, Susan Sarandon and Alec Baldwin. Lange’s spokeswoman had no further comment.

Is this the Jessica "I have had two kids out of wedlock" Lange?

[weegee]

Her "fan" site has purged most politial talk (and certainly all pro-Bush posts) but this other site so far has tolerated dissent.

Jessica plays herself a lot. Thought this was "being" not "acting."

[eleni121]

What a sad creature she is...but maybe her "experiences" with King Kong might explain her breakdown. I mean c'mon...who could be better than Kong? Maybe Saddam...

Hurry up and become fertilizer, you old relic! Sometimes, euthanasia sounds good to me, you know?

[eleni121]

Ooooh...scary bug aren't you? Go back into your hole.

[Aric2000]

Touchy today, aren't we? He is fairly new, and was probably talking about the article above and not you. A lot of newbies think that they have to respond to the latest post and not to the article itself.

Although.....

Nah, I won't go there....

[666beast]

I was actually referring to Lange herself and simply clicked with no real regard to whom I was posting.
That's alright though. Some skins are thicker than others and some are probably so sick of personal attacks that they feel like the freeper red-headed stepchild.

Doesn't really matter to me though. " go back in your whole"...geez, witty.

[Bullish]

Just an old krinkled up, left wing turd. Disregard anything she says.

[Aric2000]

She is the red headed step child, ignorant, bigoted and racist. Better off just ignoring the ignoramous.
