Portman Ignores Flowers To Make Political Statement


Actress Natalie Portman's political T-shirt statement on live American TV Thursday morning, left bosses so worried, her interviewer asked her cover it with a bunch of flowers. ... her bold T-shirt bearing presidential hopeful John Kerry's name and picture prompted veteran journalist Diane Sawyer's fear her network ABC would fall foul of pre-election guidelines.

Partway through the interview, a smiling Sawyer said, "Now if I'm gonna talk to you, you're gonna have to hold flowers here in front of the John Kerry (T-shirt). We can't just have John Kerry the whole time. Who do we bring in for equal time?"

Portman shot back, "Come on, you've got (Bill O'Reilly's) The O'Reilly Factor. That's on television; that evens it out!" She also took the opportunity to voice her support for the Democratic contender, adding, "I love John Kerry! I just think he has the perfect combination of compassion and intelligence and composure under pressure and I'm just a huge fan."

Well, I was a babe before I became a sleep-deprived Pachamama of two Pachababies....but I did graduate from an Ivy League like Cate and Natalie and I'm smart....and most importantly - I love John Kerry!

[Pachamama]

16. Me too! Senator Amidala for replacing Kerry in the Senate after he's Prez

:hi:

[Protected]

8. What a smart young woman

"Equal time?" LOL. Since when did the media care about that?

This is as stupid as my local NBC affiliate refusing to air the Al Sharpton "Saturday Night Live" episode because the New Hampshire primary was a month away.

[asianjoanne]

9. YEAH NATALIE!!!

Damn! I love this girl even MORE! She's THE WOMAN! Tell Sawyer like it is! BOO YAH!!!
:bounce: :freak: :pals: :headbang: :yourock:

[LTR]

13. Natalie rocks!

Beauty...and brains!

That was bogus of Sawyer to say that. And no, that does not run afoul of pre-election guidelines. It's a friggin' shirt!

Besides, ABC does enough shilling for Dumbya on their news shows.

[Lerkfish]

24. but,,,sawyer is a former republican flack/speechwriter...

so who polices HER conflict of interest?

[DieboldMustDie]

14. Equal time?

That's so 1986.   :eyes:

[Ohio Dem]

17. That's exactly what I was thinking.

I thought the Fairness Doctrine was gone. "What can we show to give equal time?" What bullshit.

[Democat]

18. A TV reporter Bush ass kiss talking about equal time - what a joke!

Go Natalie go!

[w13rd0]

22. Wow! Big kudos to Natalie...

...I hope you are reading this. YOU ROCK!

[SammyBlue]

23. G-d, I want to marry that woman

Intelligent, great political beliefs and the hottest Isreali on Earth.

Damn, I hope I can get my screenplay sold.

Natalie Portman, you friggin rule! Way to stick to Stossel's skank Diane Sawyer.

Natalie, can I marry you?

[Justice]

25. She was on Letterman Friday Night

and was very outspoken in favor of Kerry. She did it sort of smiling and laughing so her very good comments were not strident, but appealing. I think she is one bright person (just graduated from Harvard).
