| Cameron Diaz Loses It On Oprah |
| 2004-09-30 |
| Hat Tip Drudge... After this the formerly interesting Ms Diaz can now only be looked at with pity. CAMERON DIAZ ELECTION SCARE: 'IF YOU THINK RAPE SHOULD BE LEGAL, THEN DON'T VOTE' Thu Sep 30 2004 12:12:11 ET On Oprah's Wednesday 'voting party' show featuring important celebrities like P. Diddy (Vote or Die!), Drew Barrymore and Christina Aguilera, svelte suffragette Cameron Diaz took to shock tactics to get the female vote out. After a discussion with Oprah on lynching and the vote, Diaz spoke of the dire consequences for women if they sit out this election: Lynch the vote? I thought that was the Taliban before we excised them from Kabul... Ms. DIAZ: We have a voice now, and we're not using it, and women have so much to lose. I mean, we could lose the right to our bodies. We could lo--if you think that rape should be legal, then don't vote. But if you think that you have a right to your body, and you have a right to say what happens to you and fight off that danger of losing that, then you should vote, and those are the... WINFREY: It's your voice. Ms. DIAZ: It's your voice. It's your voice, that's your right. Cammi baby, whose doin' the raping? |

| #25 Sheep also have a voice. Maybe it would be better to advise voters to research before using their "voice." |

| #24 jackal: Now you know why Hollywood employs so many script-writers. You can't let actresses choose their own words. Too true, too true. Mitch: Bottom line is, artists are evil. I don't think they're actually evil. I think they're just flakes. Don't look to them as role models. Among the successful ones, there's the idea that I must have really useful and important things to say because I make so much money per performance. I don't envy them their shiftless lifestyles, however much money they make make. |

| #22 A freak show laced with infomercials. She has about as much integrity as Rather. |

| #21 Oprah has done good things for people. Bah humbug. She does good things for Oprah and sometimes others benefit from her self-promotion. Oprah is a smoother "freak show" than say, Jerry Springer, but still a freak show nonetheless. |

| #20 Celeb idiotarians are part of the MSM. When we bring down CBS News, we should take down CBS entertainment and Hollywood with it. |

| #19 1.) Cameron got her metaphors mixed up. What rape and selection of a candidate have in common, apparently only she can see. 2.) If you want to call artists evil, you better lump me in with them. 3.) Oprah has done good things for people, but I can hardly bear watching her anymore. I see a lot of smug religious self-congratulation in her, and even more "let me tell everyone how to be more spiritual". Miss Oprah-you're no more clued in or higher on any ladder than the rest of us. Don't confuse human with saint when y ou look in the mirror. |

| #18 Dont' get me started on Oprah. I just don't understand who can sit through and entire show. Here is the typical Oprah Show: Here is Johnny, he has a cleft lip and people are mean to him. Later in the show, we have Suzi - a mother of a child who has no legs. They are the freaks that we are showcasing today so that we can feel better about our own miserable lives. Gosh...sniff..sniff...I'm glad my life doesn't suck as bad as Suzi's. I feel better already. |

| #17 What Mitch said. Which is why I don't bother with 99.9% of contemporary art, fiction or movies. Give me Conrad or Tolstoy or Shakespeare any day. |

| #16 You said it, Mitch. But I don't think artists are completely evil. Misguided and confused at best; vindictive and stupid at worst. Except for the occasional smart ones. Those I'd consider evil. I think Zhang Fei really nails it. These people are celebrities, but think and behave as though they're royalty. Of course, the media exploits them all and deifies them. I can't remember what century it was in our world's history, but weren't actors once considered lower than prostitutes on the hierarchy of occupations at the time? |

| #15 Best get used to it. If you like any current art - movies, TV, music, novels, whatever - you have about 85% chance of having settled on an artist with truly abominable political opinions. The same goes for older works of art, but at least the artists are dead and less likely to upset you with current-day antics. That, and their evil causes are largely irrelevant - who cares if George Bernard Shaw was a fascist sympathizer? There aren't any fascists around, at least of the Mussolini variety. Bottom line is, artists are evil. Don't expect civic virtues of them. The ones who aren't actively evil are usually undertalented at best, sad to say. |

| #14 Y'know, the more I think about it, the more upset I get. "There's Something About Mary" is one of my all-time favorite movies, so how can I watch it now without thinking of her spouting this nonsense? I really did a pretty good job of crossing out Justin Timbercrap, but this will be close to impossible. |

| #13 Er, garbled by Diaz, not the reports of Diaz's second-hand rant. |
| Posted by: Mitch H. 2004-09-30 2:25:44 PM |
| #12 I'm guessing that this is a garbled version of that rant last month at a pro-choice rally during the conventions when one overheaded speaker started raving about Bush metaphorically raping the women of America via the partial-birth abortion ban. Or something like that. |

| #11 I want to go on record here that Oprah has done a lot of good for education, self-reliance, and the military. I can't for the life of me think she wanted this Hollowhead to spout such nonesense on her show. She probably only wanted to stress the imporatnce of voting, not the right or left talking points. She should have had at least one right leaning star or newies to counter the STUPIDITY from the left. |

| #10 You have to understand that actors and actresses spend most of their time pretending to be successful people in reel life. In real life, they probably couldn't tie their shoelaces without a personal assistant. |

| #8 Speaking of that, where do you suppose Mr. "Wardrobe Malfunction" Timberlake stands on the rape platform? Is he generally cool with it, or only if it's simulated on live TV? |

| #7 She must be having Bill Clinton flashbacks. |

| #6 I lost all respect for her after she started dating Justin Timberlake. Now, she's just plain certifiable. I'm still confused by the rape threat. Where'd she pull that out of? |

| #4 So,.........who is the anti-rape candidate? I want to vote for him. Errrr. Or, can only women's bodies vote against rape? Feminism sooo confuses me. Drat! |

#3  Maybe she REALLY has been changing to a female ogre at night, and is getting freaked out? |

| #2 Personally, I was waiting to hear from Cameron Diaz before making up my mind on who to vote for. Or was it Cameron Swayze? |

| #1 I must have missed the "legalize rape" box on the sample ballot. Perhaps Mr. Kerry will take a position on this subject tonight? Not that it will be his last position.... |
