THEY DON'T ALL STINK IN HOLLYWOOD: A LIST OF THE GOOD GUYS

[Cinnamon Girl]

It seems like everyone has been making lists lately of all the big mouths in Hollywood who like to spew their hate speech against President Bush and share their ignorance about foreign affairs. There's even a website dedicated to the subject: www.hollywoodhalfwits.com.

But is there a Festivus for the rest of us? Little by little, conservatives, or at least supporters of President Bush, are making themselves known, sometimes against their own better judgment.

Here's a list, with quotes:

1. Shlomo Goldberg. Who is Shlomo Goldberg? Try actor Steve Bond, who played "Jimmy Lee Holt" on General Hospital. He called into the Larry Elder show on Monday to come out as a conservative, who, to top it off, was born in Israel. Steve spoke eloquently about the liberals' foolish faith in the U.N. inspectors. Someone give this guy a good role!

2. James Woods: "I like the Rumsfeld approach to things, you know. If they're not right, shoot ‘em. I’m not about appeasing any of these crappy little Arab states that want to hold us hostage with oil, you know, and decide they’re going to use terrorism or state support it." (from the Conway & Steckler show)

3. James Earl Jones: Said he doesn't oppose U.S. military action in Iraq, provided the country gets involved as soon as necessary and stays to finish the job. (from Fox News)

Kelsey Grammer: ``The thing I most respond to in the political arena is people that actually don't play politics, and I think President Bush comes from a place that is sincere.'' (from AP via NYT)

Heather Locklear: "He's a scumbag," said the vixen of "Spin City" and formerly of "Melrose Place." But Locklear was quick to clarify: She was talking about President Josiah Bartlet, played by Martin Sheen. (from the Weekly Standard)

(the following is according the the Philadelphia Enquirer:)

Babylon Five's Tracy Scoggins

Senator-turned-Law-&-Order-star Fred Thompson: "Thank goodness we have a President with the courage to protect our country."

Libertarians: Drew Carey, Lisa Kennedy, Kurt Russell, Penn and Teller, Tommy Chong, Russell Means

John Malkovich: caused an outcry last summer when he told a group of Cambridge students he'd like to shoot a certain anti-Israel, anti-American member of Parliament.

Conservative Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton is honorary chairperson of Feminists for Life.

Emma Caulfield, who plays Anya on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "Identifies herself as a Republican, and has said she would take a break from acting to actively campaign for Elizabeth Dole, in the event that Ms. Dole runs for president again in a future election." (from Internet Movie Database)

Ron Silver: "I kind of like Rumsfeld's 'old Europe versus the new Europe,' and we saw it in the last two weeks, with France and Germany, who were not with us on June 6, 1944, I don't know why we expect them to be with us today."

R. Lee Ermey, a former Marine who played the scary drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket: "Once again, Barbra Streisand has opened her alligator-sized mouth wide before her hummingbird brain has had a chance to catch up. Ms. Streisand does not speak for me or many other folks in this business."

Bruce Willis, White House spokesman for children in foster care: Willis purchased 12,000 boxes of girl Scout cookies from his 8-year-old daughter Tallulah Belle to support military personnel serving in the Middle East. His cookies were given to Marines and Sailors onboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp, the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy, and Army and Air Force personnel in Afghanistan.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: may run as a Republican for governor of California.

Dennis Miller on Hardball: Matthews: “Did you vote for him?” Miller: “Yes I did.” Matthews: “First time you voted Republican? I feel like I’m Brian Lamb here.” Miller: “Well, you know, a gentleman doesn’t kiss and tell. I’ll tell you about Bush, but I, you know I-” Matthews: “Are you a lifelong Republican or a lifelong Democrat?” Miller: “I was a lifelong Democrat for a long time.” Matthews: “Did you switch for Bush?” Miller: “Well I switched for other reasons. I began to find the dialogue on the left side of it to be getting a little strident."

Norm McDonald: where is he?

Charlton Heston on Today Show: Lauer demanded: "Have you ever gotten up one morning, read the newspaper or seen the news about a particularly horrific crime or event that involved a shooting and thought even for a second, I may be on the wrong side of this issue?"
Heston: "No I never felt that."

He went to MIT. I've met him before. Very intense person.

Fine, but if you are pro-abortion or pro legalized drugs, the party I support doesn't want or need your agenda. We are doing just fine without it.

Actually I'm neither. Like many libertarians (both the small and large L type), I'm willing to work with all people of goodwill to achieve our common objective. We must be victorious over the Marxist Democrats and their fellow travelers, the Greens.

I could be wrong with Tanya, but I recall her speaking out for Clinton.

I'm pretty sure she attacked Dan Quayle when he criticized the Murphy Brown character for glorifying single motherhood.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Thanks. Forgot about that. I think there is more too.

[Leclair10]

[Leclair10]

Very good article!

The socialist elitists have taken over Hollywood. If you are a stuggling actor, or an established one that wants to work, as most do, you will either sell your political soul to the elitists or you will keep your mouth shut. Most prefer working and keeping quiet. The ones that come out for the right thing to do have a huge amount of talent, or a huge amount of wealth, or both. This is the "Hollywood Black List" in reverse. Jimmy Woods has talent dripping off his nose, and a bank account to support his beliefs, Arnold..well, I need not go farther on Arnold.

Just a little story about James Woods. I was in LA several years ago, when they actually had a smoking room in the airport. I was coming from a medical convention there. I went to the smoking room to have a smoke. As I stood next to this guy that I recognized as, you guessed it, James Woods. I did not want to disturb the man as I know how that could be a pain in the ass, so I just stood there and smoked. There were 5 other people in the lounge and I don't think they recognized him. I really couldn't take it any longer so I said, "If you are in a film, I will see it. I really admire your talent, and excuse me for saying so". He looked at me with that slanted smile and replied, "so you're the one"! We struck up a conversation and I found a really nice, normal guy who smoked Winstons. We a couple of laughs, shook hands and left on our separate ways. The guy is normal, I promise you that.

It would appear Mel Gibson's Production Company, ICON, will be producing the next Michael Moore documentary. It's called "Fahrenheit 911" and is about the events of 9-11-2001.

I don't think conservatives will like old Mel joining forces with this major scumbag. I know I don't like it.

Robert Conrad, Connie Stevens, and Ann-Margret are probably right on the issue at issue.

I don't know their political leanings, but the Earnhardts spent time with President Bush last year when he came to NC>

[Happy2BMe]

Thanks for the heads up.

What the hell is wrong with Mel - trading $$ for principles never was his style.
