#1 Janeane's still at the ER getting her knees sewed up.

#2 Didn't know that Farrell could be such a condescending prick. I even liked M*A*S*H for pete's sakes. He forgot to mention that the backlash against some Hollywood types also came from non-Americans who can't even vote for Bush.

#3 Wait til the '04 presidential election - they'll be out in force with temporary alzheimer's for all the stupid things they said and predicted. Should be fun

#4 Stars vanish? One could only hope. Kinda like the Rapture, only in a reverse direction?

#6 I guess you don't have to work if your a card-carrying commie. Wonder if they will vow to leave the country after the next election?

#7 "What's the point of me saying anything right now, while they're in the end zone doing the dance and spiking the football?" Farrell said.

The implication here seems to be that those who supported the war won, and Farrell and his compatriots lost. This is incorrect. Farrell and his compatriots were shown to be WRONG, which isn't the same as losing. (a good case could be made for them to be "losers", but that's something a wee bit different...)

#8 Amazing,

It always gets me how the leftists always invoke "freedom of speech" when they say these outrageously borderline seditious comments and then when we exercise OUR free speech rights and criticize them and boycott their movies and picket their gatherings, we are REPRESSIVE and creating a climate of fear and oppression.

OH PLEASE........I think we now have a new definition of hypocrite...an entertainer who does not want to pay the price for taking unpopular positions. I thought being really dedicated meant standing up for your opinions and taking the heat even when they are unpopular.

#9 Hilarious quote from Farrell:

"An illegal war is an illegal war no matter what the result. We'll never know now what could have been achieved through peaceful means."

You see if our motives had been good (i.e. they'd met with Mike's approval), but the result was bad, that would have been fine.

But our motives were bad and even if the result was good, the whole thing was rotten.

This is pure leftist ideology, folks, right there in front of you. Only the "right" motive matters. If the result sucks (see welfare, for one example) it doesn't matter...you were trying to do the right thing.

Garofalo will fail on TV. Farrell will never work again. West Wing is going to be cancelled. Both of Sarandon's last two films bombed, including one last week. The Dixie Chicks will NOT comeback and their record is sinking fast on the charts.

The entire pro-Saddam Hollywood movement was a disaster. Tough shit.

#10 "positive" experience that had helped her career. "Before this I was a moderately well-known character actress," she told the paper. "Now, I'm almost famous"
What did I tell you,a bunch of publicity-seeking, washed-up hasbeens,and wanta-bes.
