11. He doesn't have a vagina. Those saying that any other women would be different are lying.

Those who say that this doesn't apply to Sarandon because she's a woman are full of shit.

There are many women out there that hate the idea of another woman being more successful than they are. Men don't have the market cornered when it comes to misogyny.

12. KICK!

Tales from the Trail
Actors Robbins, Sarandon hit the road for John Edwards
By Jeff Mason January 8, 2008
DOVER, N.H. — Academy Award-winning actor Tim Robbins, famous for his part in hit film The Shawshank Redemption, is playing a new role: opening act for Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards.

The actor-director and his partner Susan Sarandon campaigned for the former North Carolina senator one day before New Hampshire voters go to the polls in a crucial vote that could shape the rest of the primary contests.

Iraq and the Middle East
Edwards voted for the 2002 Iraq War Resolution, and was one of 16 Senators to co-sponsor an early version of that bill, Joe Lieberman's S.J Res 46, which was not brought to the floor for a vote. Three years after the war began, in November 2005, Edwards said that the decision to go to war in Iraq was a mistake. He apologized for his vote, saying that the intelligence reports which led to the decision were "deeply flawed and, in some cases, manipulated to fit a political agenda." He favors gradual troop withdrawal and concurrent training of Iraqi troops, as well as removing American contractors, instead awarding such reconstruction contracts to Iraqi businesses to promote the Iraqi economy and reduce unemployment in Iraq.

15. Thanks for the link!

I wonder if anyone has ever asked either Sarandon or Robbins to explain it? I'd love to see what they say.

16. Who did they support after Edwards left?

Hillary or Obama?

If you tell me HRC, then they are the fucking frauds I always knew they were.
