This is pretty funny. Singer/Actress Jessica Simpson refused to appear at a GOP fund raiser because she didn't want to be seen in public with President Bush.
OK I'll admit I linked to this just to be able to post a Simpson Photo. I get tired of looking at all the GWB pics.
My favorite line from the article?
ReplyDeleteForti said the Republican group had even arranged for Simpson to dine at one of the head tables with U.S. House of Representatives Majority Leader John Boehner, an Ohio Republican.
That would be the guy who's name is pronounced as "boner!"
Childish, I know! But it's really early, and the coffee hasn't kicked in yet!
ReplyDeleteYeah my first headline for this was
ReplyDeleteJessica Simpson Messages Bush - statements.
But I thought that was a little too much.
I have to confess I hadn't a clue who Jessica Simpson is (I suppose the last name in pop music I remember is The Beatles), and nothing about this photograph encourages me to learn more, but good for her!
ReplyDeleteNow if clergy, politicians, businessmen, and ordinary citizens would just follow her example -- "shunning" might work where just telling him he's an immoral, idiotic ass has not worked with Bush. His famed "best defense is a strong offense" attitude might not work well against a sea of turned backs.
I wonder about the persistence of that 33 or 34% of the public that still supports Bush...apparently they feel it's better to continue to back the devil than to have to admit they made an error in failing to recognize him earlier.
Sheeeeeeesh!
