Hollywood Stars Give Bush A Bashing

Hollywood's already fervent support for Senator John Kerry cranked up a gear last night with the unveiling of 10 new anti-Bush advertisements by award-winning directors featuring A-list stars.

Scarlett Johansson and Matt Damon are among the actors appearing in the latest campaign by MoveOn.org, the online political action group behind such celebrity-rich electioneering as the forthcoming Vote for Change tour featuring the rock singer Bruce Springsteen.

The advertisements were unveiled in New York last night at an event entitled "10 Weeks: Don't Get Mad, Get Even" referring to the number of weeks left before the Nov 2 presidential election.

1. Maybe you should quote this section of the story.

The president does have his share of celebrity supporters, though they are not as vocal or active as their Democratic counterparts. Bush supporters include the actors Kelsey Grammer, star of Frasier, Lara Flynn Boyle, Bruce Willis, Charlton Heston and Mel Gibson. Younger supporters include the Friends star Matt Le Blanc and the singers Jessica Simpson, Ricky Martin and Britney Spears.

But there is also concern in Hollywood that coming out as a conservative can cost a performer his livelihood.

"I think there are more conservatives in Hollywood than you would think, but I don't think they're going to come out because you never know why you don't get your next job," the pro-Bush comedian Dennis Miller said last year.

3. I know why many of them don't get their next jobs.

Because they're shallow hacks. That's not to say all of them are, but please.

Leave it to the chief shallow hack of the bunch to blame it on politics -- what did Dennis Miller ever do that wasn't just him with a microphone, so he could preen and laugh at his own shtick?

Matt LeBlanc? Yeah, I'm sure it'll be his political opinions that keep him from getting his next job, too. Let him tell himself that a few years from now, if it will help him sleep at night ...

One of my favorite movies is "Horse whisperer" made when she was a little kid. I like Redford in most movies but being a horse person I especially liked this one.
