15. are we allowed to count Barack Obama in this? nt

[RepublicanElephant]

19. well, it's really to showcase the great hollywood hunks who support obama and the dems.

although barack is most certainly a hunk, he'd be more suitable for a "official hot dem dude politicians" thread.

[whitewomenforobama]

23. fair enough.

:)

[gblady]

45. IMHO, dude meets all criteria for this category....

hot...


dem...

Michelle Obama, Kevin Costner hold Colo. rallies today (10/28)

Actor Kevin Costner is also in Colorado Tuesday for four early voting rallies of his own, in Boulder, Fort Collins, Greeley and Denver. Costner is backing Obama.

Costner is slated to lead a march from the University Memorial Center's south terrace to the CU Recreation Center's polling station at 10 a.m. Tuesday, according to the Obama campaign.

http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2008/oct/28/michelle-obama-kevin-costner-hold-colo-rallies-tod/

[cameozalaznick]

90. Huh? I thought Costner was a pub. eom

[fizzgig]

144. he's been campaigning in CO for obama the past few days

[LibraLiz1973]

119. Nope, he is in for Obama. In fact, another DUer posted pix this AM

of Kevin at the opening of a new Obama office in their area

[chat_noir]

35. Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio posed on a glacier in southeast Iceland during a photo-shoot for Vanity Fair magazine's upcoming "Green Issue". Vanity Fair's special issue aims at encouraging readers to take needful steps to generate ecological awareness.

[gauguin57]

36. All very cute, except Tom Cruise, who is a Scientologist asshole.

Shills for a cult (based on a sci-fi writer's made-up crap) that brainwashes people and takes massive amounts of their money, and then harrasses them beyond all reason (and the law) if they try to leave. They fight against psychiatric intervention for people because they want to "audit" them themselves and take their money. They're responsible for people's deaths, and the ruination of many lives. And anytime reporters try to expose them, they make their lives a living hell.

Just can't even look at the man's picture without puking.

I'm glad Tom's voting for Obama, but Obama doesn't need any of his damned dirty Scientologist money.

And yes, I'm going to be a Scientology deprogrammer in my next life!

[ThatsMyBarack]

37. Why wait 'til your next life?

;) :hi:

[seabeyond]

38. doesnt peoples behavior change the feel or purity in looks? since cruise

behavior i see his picture now and that "oh good lookin" isnt there. i was like that with costner for the longest time cause of behavior about a decade ago something he did. but has been long enough that now i look at him and i dont feel that way.

just find it interesting.

[RichGirl]

42. Get over it!

We are not hypocrits...we believe in freedom of religion! BTW, Scientology is any crazier than Christianity. Christianity is familiar, so we accept the far out stories.

[seabeyond]

44. it wasnt the scientology that bothered me. travolta is scientology and that doesnt bother me

it was his erratic and odd behavior and the things he said about a year ago. combined.

[gauguin57]

93. It's absolutely the Scientology that bothers me, because they're celebrity shills for a cult

that victimizes people and harrasses anyone who questions anything they're doing.

So Travolta, Kelly Preston, Cruise and Holmes, Giovanni Ribisi, Jason Lee, Beck, Chick Correa, Jenna Elfman ... the whole lot of them ... are walking, smiling, famous billboards for this corrupt cult. Xenu can kiss my behind.

This famous Time piece from 1991 is what made me so rabidly anti-Scientology -- and it's the celebrity shills that make this bunch of law-breaking, mind-controling thieves look legitimate. If you've never read it, read it after the election's over.

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,972865,00.html

[seabeyond]

94. well, i see it differently then. no one forces anything on anyone. IF someone

gets milked by scientology it is their choice, their journey, their lesson

[always_saturday]

54. Tom Cruise would be a crackpot no matter what religion he was.

I have little use for Christianity myself but at least there are different factions of it they aren't all nuts.

[gauguin57]

101. "Religion," my Aunt Fanny.

A church, temple, mosque, whatever -- such as one that takes in money through the collection plate, but helps build homes or supports food banks, etc ... and gives people some spiritual comfort ... cool by me and cool by the Constitution.

But a cult like Scientology (or some of these mega-church televangelists) uses sophisticated brainwashing techniques to take massive amounts of people's money -- and has done all sorts of ILLEGAL and immoral stuff (breaking into reporters' homes, kidnapping people and holding them incommunicado from their families -- one mentally unstable woman killed herself by jumping out the window in Flordia after being deprived of food and water AND any basic psychiatric care -- filing multiple false lawsuits against people with no money to fight them, etc. -- that's a whole different deal in my book. They are not a church but an organized crime syndicate. And the celebrity shills are the pretty window dressing that makes it an acceptable "church" to the outside world. YUCK.

The day they were given the IRS exemption as a "church" was a dark, dark day. It's like giving a religious tax break to the fucking Mafia.

And, BTW, I don't believe Christianity's "far-out stories" either.

[SmokingJacket]

105. And plain old not hunky. nt

[ailsagirl]

162. Surprising-- Cruise is so nuts...

:shrug:

[AspenRose]

39. Pierce Brosnan, OBE

Don Cheadle




And RIP, Paul Newman

[charlyvi]

73. Beautiful Paul Newman.....

Inside and out. One of the very best ones.

[MelissaB]

84. Ooohlaalaa!

Pierce Brosnan does it for me everytime.

[windbreeze]

135. Oh MY GOD....I love Paul Newman..

and I can't say what I think about Pierce Brosnan...sheesh, wasn't quite ready for that picture...that he's a Democrat, is even better....IF that's possible...wb

[RichGirl]

43. Where is Chris Martin?

Whether you like his music or not...he is ADORABLE!

[Lex]

46. John Cusack!

[frickaline]

50. Oh good call, I adore him

:loveya:

I still watch "The Sure Thing" from time to time.

[progressivebydesign]

52. Oh.. John Cusack, my favorite Dem guy! :) n/t

[dolo amber]

58. Prrrreeeeoooowwww

:loveya:

[Mabus]

116. My brother gets mistaken for Cusack quite often

It's pretty funny. He's had people ask for his autograph, try to pass him scripts, tell him much they enjoy his movies and just gawk at him. He always has to tell them he's not Cusack. His wife loves it though. She has a great looking husband and, as stupid as it sounds, just because he looks like Cusack they get good tables at restaurants.

[chat_noir]

47. a few more...and thanks, DubyasWorld, for this wonderful distraction

Jimmy Smits





Richard Gere





Troy Garrity - Jane Fonda’s son


Still looking for the perfect De Niro picture....

The waaaay we .... weeeeeere .... oooooooooh

[thewiseguy]

49. Kevin Costner? Today, he is campaigning for Obama in my state .

[always_saturday]

51. They can have Tom Cruise.

[redqueen]

53. Can I just say how nice it is that there wasn't a huge close up of an ass

as one of the first posts on the thread?

[AlCzervik]

55. Rob Lowe supports Obama, when did that happen?

[Left Is Write]

60. I don't know - but his donations listed on Newsmeat went to Democrats.

1997 and 2002.

I never got a sense that he was a Republican.

[AlCzervik]

62. he supported Arnold during the recall, maybe that's why i figured him for a goper.

[Left Is Write]

63. I didn't know that.

[cameozalaznick]

91. Remember the infamous sex tape of the late eighties?

It was made the the Dem convention of 1988.

[tridim]

66. I don't know, and that pic of him is scary, not "hot" at all.

[helderheid]

56. Dude. You forgot HANK!

I couldn't post just one :evilgrin:

[charlyvi]

57. He's British and can't vote but he loves Obama. And he's hot, hot hot.

Daniel Craig has heaped praise on presidential candidate Barack Obama - branding the Democratic hopeful "exciting".

The actor, who is set to reprise his role as suave British spy James Bond in new movie Quantum of Solace later this year, believes Obama is pushing things in the right direction.

He tells Playboy magazine, "I strongly feel there needs to be a new way forward.

"Barack Obama is pushing things in the right direction. I'm excited about the election. Unfortunately, things will probably get dirty.

"I hope Obama can stay above the fray … I’m hopeful for the first time in a long, long while. It’s one of the most exciting elections in my lifetime."

http://www.showbizspy.com/showbiz/10172008/Daniel-Craig-Praises-Barack-Obama

[Erin Elizabeth]

68. I want to put Ewan McGregor's head on that body.

Perfect!

[terrya]

59. Obama supporter Brandon Routh

Yes, "Superman" from "Superman Returns" is an Obama supporter. And yes, he's certainly hot. :-)

[JackBeck]

74. Huge Progressive Viggo Mortensen

[City Lights]

64. Denzel!

[windbreeze]

139. and I gotta tell ya....this is my second choice...after

Pierce Brosnan....he IS FINE....FINE...FINE....wb

[gratefultobelib]

65. Bookmarked!! I'm going to have my kids print off these pictures and

bury me with them! Well, I guess that would be cremate me with them!

[flygal]

131. .......

:rofl:

I'm loving these pics - Daniel Craig, Pierce, Denzel

cold shower time

[Erin Elizabeth]

67. Now you've got me thinking of a

Mark Ruffalo-Matt Damon-George Clooney-Ewan McGregor sandwich.

Excuse me.

(So happy the Tom Cruise picture is a red x. He scares me, for real. Is he a Dem? I thought he was just sort of crazy.)

[Erin Elizabeth]

69. Hey wait! THIS IS SEXIST!

Aren't you guys offended?

[nichomachus]

71. Hunk

[Jennicut]

81. Wow, I love that picture.

Is it wrong to think your future president is hot? And his VP?
Jon Bon Jovi and Jon Stewart are my other loves. They are such great guys, musically talented and funny as hell.

[Mabus]

72. Harry Connick, Jr. (doing the terrorist fist bump with his daughter)

There is nothing hotter than a good man.

[a la izquierda]

97. I missed this post. Oh he's too cute.

[seabeyond]

98. i love htis picture. told hubby one day when he was on floor playing with young son

no greater turn on than to watch dad play with his babies.....

i love fathers that connect. why i like obama and his interaction with children so much. 11 yr old son was watching a video last night of obama talking to a 5th grader and he told me this is why obama is going ot when. cause he takes kids seriously.

and why i dislike palin so. cause she doesnt connect as a mom. HUGE turn off

[Mabus]

108. It is a beautiful thing

When Barack and Michelle interact with their kids you can tell there is a strong bond there. Not so with McCain and Palin. Their interactions with their kids seem contrived and unfamiliar.

fwiw, one of the reasons I love my husband is because whenever he sees his kids his first reaction is to throw open his arms, give them a hug and tell them how much he loves them.

[seabeyond]

112. right there with you. this is the funny

one of the guys saying how sexist we are. and look what we talk about with these hunky males, lol lol (telling hubby as i type, quite a feat) our men loving their children. hm.... so very sexist

[LibraLiz1973]

120. She looks JUST like her mom.

[Froward69]

75. Ok I am male and hetero... there fore

I will not be blasting this post as blatantly objectifying these (Dem) males for your sexist enjoyment.

I will however enjoy blatantly objectifying some hot females for my own sexist enjoyment. (tit for tat or is it, tits and tats?)

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

(on edit) eye candy is eye candy no matter the genitalia... so enjoy ladies. Just let me enjoy ladies... OK?

[seabeyond]

80. then

i guess we will see a respectful appreciation of males, and trashing females?

i think it all depends of the flavor of the thread one develops on how offensive it is.

btw: over the years we have had a number of threads on beautiful women speaking out for dems, and there havent been issues. 2004 it was a big to do....

it is all in the respect

[redqueen]

95. Do you see any close ups of body parts?

Ok then.

Kind of a huge difference there, yes indeed.

[Laurab]

77. I love Jackson Browne & I still think he's hot, but I'm OLD

We've got mostly actors here, and I know there are lots more - but if we added all the musicians, this thread could be the longest in DU history!

[renie408]

78. How about the hottest dude of all?? OBAMA himself is pretty easy on the eyes. n/t

[MelissaB]

79. Adding my favorite singer/dem hunk:

Going to see him again in Green Bay next week.

:hi: to all Neil Diamond fans.

[CrispyQ]

190. I first saw Neil in Denver when I was 12.

I had an older cousin & he & his girlfriend were going to see him. I don't know why he agreed to take me with them, but I'll never forget it!! The next morning, we took his girlfriend to the airport & after seeing her plane off, we ran into Neil in the main terminal. I was tongue tied, but thrilled! My cousin got his autograph - one for each of us!

Thanks for posting these great pics!! And have a great time at the concert!!

:hi:

[Overseas]

82. Rob Lowe supported Republican Schwarzenegger for Governor

http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/08/16/schwarzenegger.rob.lowe/index.html

[faithfulcitizen]

83. Pretty sure about Orlando Bloom & Johnny Depp as well.

[charlyvi]

85. Back in the day, these guys were my hotties, good progressives all.

Nicholson




Pacino




Beatty



Hoffman

[RichGirl]

87. Paul Newman????

[charlyvi]

89. I appreciated Paul Newman upthread.

Loved him.....RIP Paul.

[Dem2theMax]

174. Dustin Hoffman. Sigh.

I don't care what his age - divorce your wife Dustin. I'm waiting. :evilgrin:

[rvablue]

88. Last I heard Rob Lowe was a Repub, he campaigned for Awhnuld and plus

he is not hot.

[DevonRex]

92. I thought Rob Lowe was a republican, too. And that makes him

NOT hot.

If anybody has information that he has indeed seen the light, I'd like to see it. Then I might reconsider his hotness.

[Laurab]

124. I just googled "Rob Lowe politics" - He's a Dem

In fact the article listed him as a Dem activist, who was putting party politics aside to vote for Ahnold - it seems they're friends. I really don't care about Rob either way, but I thought I'd check it out.

[seabeyond]

159. lots of hollywood voted shnortzie, that dont vote repug. n/t

[a la izquierda]

96. I don't know how to add pictures but...

Harry Connick Jr., anyone?

[seabeyond]

99. post 72. we were just talking about him doing terrorist fist bump with daughter

i dont know who the dude is, .... but i love the picture.

[Mabus]

106. Primarily a singer and musician

but he's been in movies like "Copycat", "Independence Day" and "Little Man Tate". If you've ever seen the movie "When Harry Met Sally" you've heard him sing.

He's originally from New Orleans (his dad was, iirc, was the DA after Garrison of "JFK" fame) and he's returned there many times before and after Katrina for the benefit of the community. I remember when he and others were working with Habitat for Humanity helping to build homes post-Katrina. He appears to be an all-around, talented, good guy.

[seabeyond]

107. i have seen copycat and independence day. long time ago with copycat..... anyway. thanks

son was telling me about a rapper and couple other people that are speaking out for obama just last night. told boys, i dont knwo any of the new people. i dont watch tv, the movies are bad anymore and dont listen to the current music.

i have gotten

old..... lol

but i do love the picture of him terrorist fist bumping his daughter

[Mabus]

110. Connick was the serial killer in Copycat

It was a great performance. In "Independence Day" he was the loud, quirky pilot buddy of Will Smith's.

LOL, I know what you mean. I was at the grocery store the other day and I didn't have a clue of who most of the people on the magazine covers were, much less why they were on the cover.

[MelissaB]

102. Here ya go:

[a la izquierda]

103. Yay! Thank you...

[LibraLiz1973]

115. Yay!!! I LOVE HIM!!

100. Huffington Post FundRace "actor" search

May be others out there......

[Mabus]

125. There's also newsmeat's celebrity donation list

http://newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/

[Cha]

132. Thanks, Mabus...interesting to see

who gives 100% to the fascist whackjobs.

[Mabus]

134. You're welcome. And it is interesting isn't it?

I used a couple of weeks ago to prove to my husband that Clint Eastwood was still a Republican.

[Cha]

140. Tom Cruise gives 100% to the Dems and that makes

him smart and okay in my book.

billy bush..panderer to the celebraties gives 100% to the fascists.

[rebel with a cause]

222. No!! Jose Feliciano is a republican.

I loved the guy and his redemption of the Star Spangle Banner. Another happy memory ruined. :cry:

Toby Keith 100% republican. So much for his claims of being a Democrat.

[Essene]

111. Stephen Colbert is neither a sex symbol nor hot. I reject this list entirely.

[Laurab]

123. IMO he's hot in a very special way

The brains and humor somehow make him "hot" to me, even though he sort of looks like a schoolteacher, he's in a class all by himself - and I'd put him at the TOP of the list.

[Anwen]

152. Says you!

He is hot, brainy, with a wicked sense of humor. I reject your opinion entirely! :P

[AspenRose]

165. You're kidding, right?

:loveya:

[BuelahWitch]

192. LOVE the picture with the cat!

Yay Stephen, a liberal AND a cat cuddler! :thumbsup:

[Lisa0825]

168. Oh, I think Colbert is totally hot!

His preppiness is his schtick, but he is a VERY nice looking man. His intellect and humor are also a major part of the attraction, but he definitely is attractive physically too.

[JI7]

204. i'm more attracted to Colbert than most of the "move stars" posted

[XemaSab]

217. Lies!

:o

[mzmolly]

113. I thought Lowe was a Republican?

:shrug:

Otherwise, great list! I agree with others that we must add John Cusack. ;)

[LibraLiz1973]

114. Tom Cruise is a DEM?

Shocker.

I figured he was like a Jehovah's Witness... unable to vote.

[ailsagirl]

163. My reaction exactly... he's too nuts to be a Dem

[Doctor_J]

118. Here is one

Adrienne Palicki

And the best-looking part of her is not on view in the picture.

[LibraLiz1973]

121. Justin Timberlake

[Mabus]

122. Don Cheadle

[ceile]

128. Playgirl, anyone?

What is up w/ that pic?! :rofl:

[Mabus]

133. I thought we were looking for Dem hunks

This seemed like a "hunk" photo to me. :shrug:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

211. Oh, it's definitely hunky.

And he's damn talented to boot!

[Mabus]

224. I think so too

And he's definitely talented. Did I mention he's HOT? :thumbsup:

[Soup Bean]

126. Several Superhero types in there.

The Justice League of America for Obama!

[PatSeg]

129. Thanks for this thread

It really relieves the stress of waiting for next Tuesday!

151. Tell me!

I'm all warm and glowy again :D MyyyymyMYmymy

153. I should be good for at least the next 24 hours!

May have to come up with something else tomorrow. One-day-at-a-time!!!!

[shanti]

136. don't forget adrian grenier!

what a hottie!!! :woo hoo:

[Cha]

137. I submit

Jason Alexander..by words alone.

"Seinfeld Actor, Jason Alexander Rallies Jewish Voters in Crucial Swing State, Florida"



<snip> <snip>

"That might be why Alexander is so serious about his latest role -- as a celebrity spokesman for Obama. Indeed, this week he joined the growing list of celebrities campaigning here, taking his place alongside personalities on the left and right, including Matt Damon, Alicia Silverstone, Elizabeth Hasselback -- engaging in Florida's Election 2008 "Star Wars." Alexander, however, is a celebrity spokesman not so comfortable with the celebrity part. He is a man with a bold-faced name who's not afraid to admit that "celebrities aren't any smarter than anyone else. In fact, they're often dumber."

Not Alexander, though, who's as smart and as thoughtful as he is famous and funny. Just check the way he presided over what might best be described as a town hall meeting at Florida International University's Kovens Conference Center on Sunday, when he and a posse that included Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, State Rep. Dan Gelber and Ambassador Dennis Ross addressed how best the largely Jewish crowd could convince their largely Jewish counterparts to come around to Obama."

142. Gregory Peck

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjA3NjQ1NDE3NV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNzA4NjEyMQ@@._V1._SX100_SY140_.jpg

He was a Liberal's liberal and a major activist throughout his life.

"In 1947, while many Hollywood figures were being blacklisted for similar activities, he signed a letter deploring a House Un-American Activities Committee investigation of alleged communists in the film industry.

President Richard Nixon placed Peck on his enemies list due to his liberal activism.<9><10>

A lifelong supporter of the Democratic Party, Peck was suggested in 1970 as a possible Democratic candidate to run against Ronald Reagan for the office of Governor of California. Although he later admitted that he had no interest in being a candidate himself for public office, Peck encouraged one of his sons, Carey Peck, to run for political office. Carey was defeated both times he tried for Congress, in 1978 and in 1980, by Republican Congressman Robert K. Dornan, both times by slim margins.

In an interview with the Irish media, Peck revealed that former President Lyndon Johnson had told him that, had he sought re-election in 1968, he intended to offer Peck the post of U.S. ambassador to Ireland — a post Peck, due to his Irish ancestry, said he might well have taken, saying "t would have been a great adventure".<11><12> Author Michael Freedland, in his biography of Peck, substantiates the report and says that Johnson indicated that his presentation of the Medal of Freedom to Peck would perhaps make up for his inability to confer the ambassadorship.<13>

Peck's liberal beliefs were frequently reflected by his work. The Big Country was intended as a pacifist allegory for the Cold War, while The Guns of Navarone was considered very anti-war for a major American movie of its time.

He was outspoken against the Vietnam War, while remaining supportive of his son, Stephen, who was fighting there. In 1972, Peck produced the film version of Daniel Berrigan's play The Trial of the Catonsville Nine about the prosecution of a group of Vietnam protesters for civil disobedience. Despite his initial reluctance to portray the controversial General Douglas MacArthur on screen, he did so in 1977 and ended up with a great admiration for the man.

In 1987, Peck did the voice over on television commercials opposing President Ronald Reagan's Supreme Court nomination of conservative jurist Robert Bork. Bork's nomination was defeated."

155. I am madly, insanely, passionately in love with Gregory Peck.

Always have been. :loveya:

One of his best roles: Gentleman's Agreement. That movie showed this little Southern girl who never knew any Jewish people what anti-Semitism was.

[PatSeg]

157. Oh goody!!!!

I'm not alone!

I didn't realize how controversial Gentleman's Agreement was at the time and he was advised against being a part of it. He was told he'd never work again, but he went ahead with it anyway. The irony is he was told people would think he was really Jewish and wouldn't go to his movies - a mirror of the movie itself. Unfortunately it did have a terrible effect on Garfield and his family.

[spooky3]

181. Gregory Peck and Paul Newman - great gentlemen.

I like the current crop too - and it's great to see that it is a much bigger group than I realized!!!

[PatSeg]

184. Paul Newman was a great loss

A part of me wanted him to live forever.

[spooky3]

194. me too - can't say I've ever thought that about any other celebrity.

[PatSeg]

196. I know what you mean

Robert Redford is in that same class for me. Two really special guys!

[gauguin57]

195. The actress who played Scout was lifelong friends with him, and called him Atticus to the end.

He was Atticus Finch in person and on film.

Gentleman's Agreement gives me chills and Mockingbird makes me bawl.

And, among all those much-older men they paired Audrey Hepburn with on film, Roman Holiday (with gorgeous Greg and lovely Audrey) is adorable.

[PatSeg]

198. I just read that about "Scout"

He must have been a great friend.

My favorite scene in Roman Holiday was when he stuck his hand in that stone mouth. Hepburn didn't know what he was going to do, so her reaction was REAL.

Mockingbird - "Jean Louise. Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing." Chokes me up every time! (Misty eyed just typing it)

[gauguin57]

200. I have seen that movie a zillion times. But watching that movie on an airplane a couple years ago ..

... I was BAWLING over that "your father's passing" scene ... like, SOBBING on the plane ... trying to hide my face from the passengers next to me. It was Mockingbird and Finding Nemo back to back (London-to-NYC flight), and I just couldn't stop crying. When Dory tells Nemo's dad he seems like "home" to her ... bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :cry:

[PatSeg]

201. Once I tried to describe that scene to someone

and got misty-eyed and my voice broke. It just doesn't lose its power.

Its funny, it didn't affect me years ago when I saw the movie. It was recently for me too.

Truly a great moment in movies.

[gauguin57]

207. Atticus, Scout and Jem

[fizzgig]

185. That accent is astonishing, too.

It stops you dead in your tracks. It's...arresting.

:D

[PatSeg]

188. I'm such a sucker for an Irish accent

He's got it all, looks, talent, and THE accent.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

189. I love when he gets really intense and starts dropping off syllables.

HBO'S IN TREATMENT is prime stuff for that: "Why you so t'reatened by it?"

Or he just explodes in profanity: "FOOOOCK!"

:rofl:

:loveya:

[HeeBGBz]

208. He played the Caroline Kennedy Obama benefit gig in San Francisco

He's never actually said his party affiliation but his actions speak louder than words.

Here he sort of gives an opinion on Sarah Failin.

[gblady]

He is also active in Rock the Vote...

The most gorgous voice on the planet, IMHO,
