Jeff Bridges is on the Dennis Miller show.
Please, please tell me he is not a Repuke, 'cause I have always loved him and his brother Beau Bridges.

Now Ed Bagley Jr. is on and is discussing hybrid cars. Is Ed Bagley a Repuke or a Democrat?

Maybe it's my eyesight, but Cheney seems a dead ringer for the Big Lebowski, (as opposed to Dude). Course their honesty and business ethics would be a different matter..

Check out his donations on Newsmeat.com: Here

But you probably didn't get the DVD 'cause of Bruce.

16. maybe dennis is reading the writing on the wall...
...and is sequeing his ass back to liberals in order to catch the next big wave and peddle his insincere profiteering referential comedy without a clue until the liberatarians take over.

oh, well, tried to write that in the "old" dennis miller voice, but I'm too tired to make it work right

19. Starman was a great movie
And Jeff Bridges did a sensational job in it. He should have gotten an Oscar for that.

I also highly recommend the soundtrack to that film, if you can find it. The end title is gloriously beautiful and was used in promos for several movies--including, most notably, James Cameron's "The Abyss".

38. My wife has also worked with JB
A great guy. He approached her on the set of "Texasville" and introduced himself! "Hi, I'm Jeff Bridges. I don't believe we've met." Once she was able to compose herself, she acknowledged him and introduced herself. She said he was great to work with. Doesn't make him a liberal, but it's good knowing he's a good guy.

23. I love him! NOT a republican in the LEAST!!!
The issue near and dear to his heart is world hunger. I met him at a political event a few years back in Montecito, Calif. He was such a gracious, cool person. He drives a totally fuel efficient car! That, for some reason, impressed me.

talentless sellout

"i was hiding my TRUE conservative republican views all my career because of the evil america hating left wing liberal crazy crack hollywood crowd!"

oooooooor, the truth, your career was sinking faster than bush's poll numbers and u decided u could gain a new audience by playing to the ignorant conservative audiences.

So why would he invite these Liberals on his show or why
would they go on his show after saying that? Did he really say that?

I'll believe anything these days.

42. Ratings. That's why he invites liberals on the show
No one, not even conservatives, want to watch a show with just Republican celebrities. Can you imagine the extreme boredom?

Dennis' rating are in the crapper. I guess he's trying to change that.

appear during the rethug convention?

There is no way in hell Jeff Bridges is a rethug. He has a foundation that works w/ the UN on world hunger issues. He was on Tavis Smiley recently talking about it.

Jeff Bridges cooks up an end to hunger in America

By W. Reed Moran, Spotlight Health
With medical adviser Stephen A. Shoop, M.D.


Jeff Bridges: 'Ending hunger in America is a goal that is literally within our grasp.'


This Thanksgiving most Americans will be enjoying the comforts of friends, family, and a "super-sized" bounty of food. But for millions of others in this country, the balm of even this simple ritual will remain out of reach: They will be going to bed hungry.

Not if actor and activist Jeff Bridges can help it. He's putting money where the mouth is.

"It's almost impossible to imagine that this situation could exist in ours, the most wealthy and generous of nations," says Bridges. "But I'm convinced that once we all become aware of this problem, our same generosity and resources can put a final end to this needless suffering."

Bridges has been a leading advocate for the world's poor and hungry for nearly 20 years. Since 1991, he's worked to draw attention to the growing crisis of hunger in America. Today, Bridges is chairman of Hunger Free America (HFA), a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) and co-founded by End Hunger Network and the Center on Hunger and Poverty.
