Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for February 25, 2014
Transcript:
Reince Priebus: So to improve our messaging, we've decided to recruit a GOP celebrity task force! Sid: Uh-huh... Sid: Okay, couple problems I see with that, Reince. First, there aren't any A-list celebrities who support the GOP. Your second problem is there also aren't any B-list celebrities who support the party! Reince Priebus: How about the C-list? Sid: That I'd have to check on. Trump may hold all the rights.

and the others are lies, as in Harrison Ford:“Like his parents, Ford is a lifelong Democrat,65 and a close friend of former President Bill Clinton.20On September 7, 1995, Ford testified before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in support of the Dalai Lama and an independent Tibet.6667 In 2008, he narrated the documentary Dalai Lama Renaissance.[citation needed]In 2003, he publicly condemned the Iraq War and called for “regime change” in the United States. He also criticized Hollywood for making violent movies, and called for more gun control in the United States.68 He opposed the recall of California Governor Gray Davis, and stated in an interview that replacing Davis with Arnold Schwarzenegger would be a mistake."

A few years ago I saw a bit in SI that showed every single starter in the Daytona 500, NASCAR drivers, were Republicans.

I am ALWAYS astonished that allegedly “Serious people” take the opinions of Actors/Actresses seriously.
An Actor is a LIAR, a professional LIAR.
They stand in front of a Camera, in “Clothes not their own” and recite words that OTHERS have devised for them to say. Yes, they do so convincingly, THAT is their tallent. But the words are NOT theirs, nor the opinions.
I suppose, given the sorry state of today’s elected “Officials,” that they are similar to most Office-Holders in being LIARS, but other than that they have little in common.

Let’s be honest, most Republican celebrities are the ’don’t take my millions I made playing a game or singing a song’ republicans rather than the drown the government, gays and Mexicans are bad, Obama is a nazi style republicans that have been pervasive.

Where’d you get that? I saw it, and I wasn’t “taken in,” as you say. And I stayed up very late to see Jr. win his first race in years.

It seems to be a peculiarly Democrat thing to try to divert the attention of the voters from issues to bread and circuses. That’s why they need all the celebs they can get.

D-squared said, about 2 hours ago@PolsixeAnd their fans were all taken in by a repeat of LAST years Daytona 500 even though there was a crawl at the bottom of the screen saying so. Not smart people.
yeah, I thought that…..it reminded me of the 1938 radio performance of ’War of the Worlds".I suppose, in this case, the lack of comprehension was because one had to actually READ lines of script (that ran CONSTANTLY across the bottom telling viewer this was last years race)

Even the announcers said they were getting emails complaining they were mistakenly talking about Juan Montoya in the 42 car. (last years driver of the 42)

Actually, after listening to many actors interviewed on Fresh Air, I’ve come to the conclusion that they are actually very smart people. Rather than just hitting their marks and reading a script, they actually delve into the characters and try to figure out what makes them tick and why they do the things they do. Most good actors have a deep interest and understanding of human nature and care for other humans.Those that don’t, wind up on the D list and flacking for the republicans.

If the Republicans are so bad, how come your Dem’s, who are the majority in congress, have messed up our country? Perhaps you like being told what to do and when to do it?? I am reall tire of bashing republicans. I don’t say anything about Dems unless you tick me off. Why cant you have some curtesy?

While looking through old newspapers online, I found an editorial cartoon by Carey Orr for the Chicago Tribune. It’s used as a sample on his Wiki page. Take a look (magnify) and compare the days of 1934 and ‘us’…

There are Republican celebrities, it’s just the hateful and spiteful prejudices of their fellow travelers require that they stay in the closet.
Kind of an interesting case of discrimination based on ideology.
kaffekup almost 11 years ago
If you don’t like “bashing republicans”, maybe you could go visit one of their cartoons, like Mallard Fillmore or Prickly City, which I assume are full of mindless adulation of the republican party. As for the “Dems in Congress”, except for the House, which is in the grip of the Tea Potty, the rest are struggling with the Grand Old Boat Anchor Party to fix things. And they are, regardless of what you have been fed by Faux.

“C” I would guess stands for crazy. Nugent and Trump come to mind.

I’m done with this strip. Trudeau needs to just shut it all down permanently rather than this come-and-go nonsense. It has come to the point where the daily strip is no longer relevant to anything, past or present. And he can shove his online show crap where the sun don’t shine, with or without John Goodman.Have a nice day!
kaffekup over 10 years ago
Nice of you to drop by and spew hatred, considering I’ve never seen you here before. You’ll probably run into it, since your head appears to be in that same place you want the show to go.

According to “Sarge”, if the Democrats don’t rubber-stamp the tea potty’s irrational demands, they’re responsible for the consequences.Kind of like, if the bank teller doesn’t give the robber the money quickly enough, it’s her fault she got shot.

Still trying to pretend Affordable Care is a disaster? Yeah, ride that dead horse to the finish line in 2016, please. You’re sure to sweep the ticket.

What does Tom Selleck do besides have lunch with Nancy Reagan?Has Sam Elliott had a starring role since Lifeguard?

The way Nugent is going and spouting off, I think he’s helping the Democrats more than the Republicans.

Sorry, the republican Baldwin is Stephen, definitely not an A-lister. Although he did say he would vote for his decidedly liberal brother Alec if he ran for office.
