I was very disappointed to have heard that Dennis Hopper voted

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

for Shrub in 2000 and plans to do so again this year. I was watching a Bob Costas show on HBO this morning when he said that. Hopper also mentioned that his wife is a liberal Democrat.

Dennis, you sold out!

[Eric J in MN]

1. maybe he didn't sell out, but he's an actor who happened to

Maybe he didn't sell out, but he's an actor who happened to play a character in "Easy Rider" who probably wouldn't vote Republican.

2. He was a Reaganite, too.

So, if I remember correctly (and I'm perfectly willing to admit I may not be) was/is James Woods. If he sold out, in other words, it was long, long ago.

3. Maybe he just burned up too many brain cells

But I do find it surprising that he's a conservative.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

4. I found it very surprising myself. I agree w/ the brain cells

theory.

[DBoon]

5. That's why he finds GWB a kindred spirit

Between the two of them they have at least one functioning brain cell!

6. Franken recounts

a bizarre moment in Big Fat Idiot when he and Newt Gingrich bumped into Hopper and he turned into a gushing fool, telling Newt that he was a "great, great man" doing "great, great things" for the country.

[whistle]

7. Wait, wasn't that what Hopper's character, the photo-

...journalist in the movie "Apocalypse Now" said about the renegade colonel that Martin Sheen was sent to assassinate?

8. A-yup

Ol' Dennis was flashing.

On edit: Gringrich told Hopper he loved Blue Velvet. Al said he felt like he was in Blue Velvet

9. This is dialectic thinking, man.

You can't land on a fraction!

[Minstrel Boy]

10. What are they gonna say about him?

What are they gonna say? That he was a kind man? That he was a wise man? That he had plans? That he had wisdom? Bullshit, man!
