Margot Kidder becomes U.S. citizen as protest
2005-08-19
Canadian-born actress Margot Kidder has become a U.S. citizen so she can protest the government's Iraqi policies without worrying about deportation. Kidder, who skyrocketed to fame as Lois Lane in the Christopher Reeves "Superman" movies, and disappeared just as fast took the citizenship oath Wednesday in Butte, Mont., the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reports. Kidder, 56, has lived in the United States for 34 years and has a home in Livingston, Mont., the CBC said. The actress was born in Yellowknife in 1948 and raised in Vancouver. Kidder reportedly said her only motivation in becoming a citizen of the United States was to get attention be able to protest the war in Iraq without getting kicked out of the country, the CBC said.
Sorry, Margot, we didn't even notice you were saying anything.

Studies have been done on fonts and layout and found that PEOPLE DO NOT READ LONG STRETCHES OF TEXT IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. The uniform height makes it hard to read.

#21  HHHHMMMmmmmmmmmmm, BILL MAHER was on HBO again last night, telling his audience about how AEMRICANS ARE NOT GOOD OR ARE NOT THE BEST IN THE WORLD - words to that effect. No surprise that Maher proclaims to love Bill Clinton - what was interesting was that where draft dodging was concerned he seemed to supp Clinton "finding a way" to avoid service in Vietnam or mil service in general: VERY FUNNY CONSIDERING THE LEFTIES-SOCIES PENCHANT FOR ETHNICIDES, GULAGS, EXILE, LATE-NIGHT DISAPPEARANCES, AND MILITARY KOMMISSARS MOTIVATING POORLY TRAINED/EQUIPPED SOLDIERS BY SHOOTING THEM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Maher's skits were just rehashes of LeftMedia/MSM anti-Dubya-GOP stereotypes and information control - his audience knew it, as many were straining to put up a false pretense of laughter. Kidder's reasons for becom a US citizen only proves the wafflisms of the Left, its PC of the PC of the PC of the ... etc., and that contemp Leftism stands only for POLITICS AND BEING POLITICAL WITH EVERYBODY, ala Lefties hate America, Lefties don't wanna fight for America, BUT WON'T LEAVE AND DEMAND THE FULL RIGHTS OF NORMAL PATRIOTIC CITIZENS TO NATIONAL AND STATE BENEFITS. ITS OKAY FOR AMERICA TO BE FRACTIONALIZED, EVEN ATTACKED AND INVADED AS PER CIONDY SHEEHAN, AS LONG AS RUSSIA-CHINA AREN'T.

#20  RWV - I know what you are saying about alive, or a citizen, but didn't I hear someone make a fuss about Arnold Ziffel trying to vote in Hooterville...

I think pigs and dogs still have a problem, though I hear Coco the Chimp may be about to win a federal case in front of a Jimmy Carter appointed federal judge...

#19  Help me out, are the moonbats suppose to flock to Canada because Bush won or become citizens to protest?

#18  BigEd, that's easy. You don't have to be a citizen to vote Democrat. Hell, you don't even have to be human or alive.

#17  A cynical person might wonder if this had more to do with taxes than politics.

#16  Sherry: she probably used her influence as a major celebrity to push that application right through.

#15  Why don't the lefties 'threaten' to leave the US and go to Mexico?

#14  How many years do it take to become a US citizen? Seems to me, she would have had to make application before the Iraq war started. 'Course, I may be way off on the current timeline to citizenship.

#13  Now she can threaten to emigrate to Canada if the Republicans win the next election.

#11  I am scratching mmy head. I thought she was at a Demofartz political convention (1992) as a Jerry Browen Delegate... I am confused... How could she be if she was not a citizen...

#8  so she can protest the government's Iraqi policies without worrying about deportation

Umm...how many US visitors have been deported for protesting? We've barely just now begun to deport imams for inciting violence...

Give it a rest, Margot. And welcome to the United States of America; you are a very fortunate person to obtain citizenship here. Treat it with respect and a little awe.

And lay off the booze, k?

#7  Kidder reportedly said her only motivation in becoming a citizen of the United States was to be able to protest the war in Iraq without getting kicked out of the country.

...and she should have plenty of time on her hands to do that since she hasn't had a career in quite some time.

#5  Good on ya, Margot. Glad to see you avoided all that mass deportation that was going on during the run-up to the invasion. Don't know how we missed you in our zeal to complete the Great Canadian Exodus of 2003, but welcome aboard!

#3  Anybody able to find the Soking Gun mugshot of Margot? It's no linger of their site. I seem to remember she resembled the Cat lady from The Simpsons.

#2  I think she nailed the part where she was an alcoholic with a "chemical imbalance" sleeping in the bushes with unexplained contusions on her face.
Oh wait....

#1  Ooops, there goes her universal health care. Guess she got tired waiting in line.
