Hollywood Makes Him Very Excite!!!


His Highness welcomed yet more money from the Hollywood elite yesterday as they threw a little party for him to raise money for his campaign. I'm sorry, but I for one would never have attended this party. Nevermind the fact that I dislike Hussein, or the fact that my Red State blood would turn cold if I stayed in a room too long with George Clooney. Honestly, I would never attend this party because I would be paying thousands of dollars to watch Barbra Streisand perform....how can anyone in good conscience think that they are getting a good deal out of this? This is the woman behind Yentl and Prince of Tides!!! Have you actually sat thru any of those? Yentl alone was enough for me to slip the noose over the tree limb and meet my maker. I could sip champagne with Dennis Quaid....whoa. That would be like kissing the Pope's ring....I am not worthy. Please remember that other celebs love him too, really smart celebs, good ethical celebs in good moral standing with the community like Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan.

But Godfather, why are celebrities always supporting Democrats when supposedly Republicans are always caring about the rich? Sit down, my soldiers, and I will tell you.

This really became an issue back in the 1960 election and before. Hollywood celebrities, with the pushing of the Chairman of the Board Frank Sinatra, flocked around John F. Kennedy. Sinatra was hoping to gain some friends in Washington for a number of reasons, so he used his Rat Pack buddy Peter Lawford's status as Kennedy's brother-in-law to get close to Kennedy and help him win the election by getting his Hollywood cronies to vote for him. Also, the Hollywood Blacklist of the 1950's helped. Hollywood writers and actors who were believed to be Communists lost their jobs due to either their connections to Communism or for not testifying at the HUAC hearings. This caused a general shift to the Democratic party as many believed it to be more accepting of individuals than the Republican Party. So, with those two events came the harnessing of power to the Democratic Party by Hollywood. Since then, celebs have just stayed in formation, keeping to their Democrat stances so they do not lose favor in the Hollywood community and so they will fit in. In many ways, celebs are like a number of people in America...easily led while getting all their information fed to them instead of doing some real research and picking a candidate.

Barbra Streisand.....oh God, how gut-wrenching.
