1. Good for Obama and good on GQ! K&R nt

[Cha]

2. Wonder if they'll have a GQ party

to give out their awards and PO can run into the rw "badass" Clint Eastwood? :P

3. Surprisingly, bad-ass Clint supported

Obama in 2008. It seems even he was burned out by the bush administration. At least that is what I heard.

I cannot imagine Clint Eastwood backing anyone like Palin. He may be a bad-ass but I don't think he is that much of a dumb-ass. :evilgrin:

[Cha]

5. I didn't know that..are

you sure? Because I would love it if that were true..I thought he went with mcpaln?

I'm always looking for an epiphany to hit any republicon. I know Dennis Hopper said he was going to vote for Obama.

6. I remember hearing Clint say something to this effect

on one of the late night shows. I remember it was when he was making appearances promoting "the Changeling" the movie he made with Angelina Jolie. People were angry at Jolie because she was not coming out for Obama and I thought it might be because of Clint and her having to appear with him to promote the movie. Then when I saw him say that he was voting for Obama, I couldn't defend her on this basis. Brad Pitt did support Obama in a non-offending kind of way by allowing the MSM to see his Obama merchandise when ever he could.

This is all as I remember it. If someone can prove me wrong then....I will have to plead 'senior moment'.

7. Well, I guess you just had to

catch it at that particular time in history. Thank you!

Now I can know that he isn't an idiot anymore and I won't have to scrunch up my nose when I see a pic of him.

Very important stuff:P

Maybe jolie has too much of her dad in her?

10. I think that her position at the UN is too important to her for her

to take sides politically. I do remember hearing when Obama first began running that Pitt (and Jolie I believe) offered to campaign for him and the Obama campaign people turned them down, saying they didn't want to be identified with Hollywood at that time. Jolie may surprise me and turn out to be right wing, but her stance not to marry until gays can do so does not seem to be very republican. Nor her other many 'non-christian' views and actions. It would not surprise me for her to not say anything for him because she is too controversial a public figure. Angelina was raised by her Bohemian mother and barely knew her father growing up so I don't know how much influence he has on her way of seeing the world.

I have been disabled; staying mostly at home for the last seven years so I have had way too much time to read up on everyone. I might get a few things wrong but I try to keep it as straight as I can. But don't ask me anything about anyone in current reality tv or movies that has surfaced in the last 2-3 years. They all seem too shallow to get me interested. :shrug:

11. Yeah, I don't know what's

up with her ..I don't think she's rw just disingenuous at times.

And, poor thing..you can't choose what kind of idiot you have for a father.

12. 'you can't choose what kind of idiot you have for a father'

Don't you know it. :)

[Cha]

14. Yes,

I could be talking about myself.:)

[PSzymeczek]

13. I've never been able

to figure out Clint Eastwood politically.

[Clio the Leo]

4. Hm. I thought he was a shoo-in for "Bad Ass" of the year. :-) NT

[Cha]

8. Eastwood should really have

to share his award with PO.

[HopeOverFear]

9. that's okay; last year Obama was GQ man of the year

15. That's a horrible pic of our president. They took it too close up. n/t
