Who are the "famous" DUers?

[Domitan]

I'm just curious if prominent reporters, politicians, entertainment celebs, athletes, writers, et al ever posted here? The most known one that I could find so far is William Pitt.

[bigwillq]

1. Well I'm a sports writer but no one knows

who the hell I am.

I always wondered about this also. But will they tell us?

[Jack_Dawson]

18. Go Kings

:toast:

[bigwillq]

30. Yeah, I guess I want them to win now

that the Hornets got knocked out.

[Jack_Dawson]

34. Ahhh...a Times-Picayune sportswriter

How can you not love the Kings? Good guys. Glad you're on board.

[bigwillq]

45. Well I don't really follow them

But I would like to see them win over the Spurs or Lakers. We need new blood.

[Supply Side Jesus]

49. Charlie Pierce???

J/K. He strikes me as a progressively minded guy.

[flowomo]

:toast:

[carpediem]

21. I like the article - and the law

I'm hoping the laws will be even stricter when my kids get there.

I remember having a death wish when I learned to drive. Drove like an absolute maniac - and I was one of the quiet, bookish type girls at the time. But the power of the car was too tempting especially when there were other teens in the car with me.

Between my sister and I we were in about 8 accidents, 2 of which trashed the cars, in 4 years, we were 2 years apart in age. Ironically, the accidents weren't a result of our crazy driving just our inexperience. I trashed one car because I drove the wrong, windy route home during my first experience with freezing rain and my sister rolled a car trying to avoid hitting a squirrel. One month of training just doesn't cut it. I know when my kids get there law or not I'll put in my 50 hours.

[flowomo]

[EstimatedProphet]

43. Wow! You're Oscar?! Cool!

I always wondered who that statue was supposed to be...
:)

[northofdenali]

46. Oscar's not a statue, silly -

it's a critter! Which reminds me, has anyone seen it lately? Last I heard, he was building something mysterious - possibly nukular - in an attic............ :P

[Shananigans]

60. Actually, News of Oscar has just come...

[noiretextatique]

48. LOL, you know it, fellow royal one

:hi:

[Blue-Jay]

13. Chris Heinz is a regular here.

Although, aside from on one thread months ago, he posts under a different handle which he wouldn't (rightly so) divulge. I don't know if he's exactly "famous", though.

Political cartoonist, Lalo Alcaraz is also a member of DU. Check out his website at www.cartoonista.com

I'm sure there are more, but they prefer to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.

[Jackhammer Jesus]

14. I'm respected and feared

... in Japan. If that counts.

[wyldwolf]

27. Godzilla?

[Supply Side Jesus]

51. Blackzilla?!?!

you need to bring that good chronic shit you were smoking on over here. :9

[devilgrrl]

15. I'm big in Europe.

:silly:

[HFishbine]

23. Because of the metric system?

:crazy:

[billybob537]

17. I'm a legend

in my own mind.

[Az]

25. My name is famous

But alas I am not he.

Az=Robert Johnson

[TN al]

26. I saw a post once...

...that referred to Michael Moore in the first person. Do you think Michael Moore is a DUer or did the writer simply use improper eEnglish?

[wyldwolf]

28. How about people that have been rumored to be DU'ers?

Jenna Bush (one of the twins) was once rumored to be on here because of comments someone stated she made in a college class.

[Domitan]

29. Be funny if she actually hung out here

and dished the dirt on her family. I remember an article about Jenna (anti) debating with her father (pro, duh!) about the death penalty. Got to draw out that rebellious spirit!

[WilliamPitt]

31. Chris Heinz posts here sometime

[MAlibdem]

32. uh...

just wait a few years... ;)

[Buns_of_Fire]

33. Does being Queen Elizabeth II count?

(singing)
I am the Queen of England,
I like to sing and dance
And if you don't believe me,
I'll punch you in the pants

What? Is it time for my medication again? Oh, you dear, dear person, yes, give me my medication. I like the green ones. I want two.
:hi: <--- Queenly wave

[Darth_Kitten]

35. Think "Darth Kitten"

I'm famous.....or aiming to be. :evilgrin:

[Teddy_Salad]

36. I'm Bea Arthur

As if anyone cares. :cry:

[Eye and Monkey]

42. Seems that you're a bit Maude-lin.

[SideshowScott]

37. Famous or not..If your a Democrat OR you hate Bush DU is the place to be!

One of the reasons im a Democrat ( and there are many ) Is that we belive when everyone does well, the country does well. So no matter if we are Rich, Poor, Famous, non-famous we all agree that America CAN be a great place where everyone can prosper and live a wonderful life and enjoy this countrys Freedoms and Landscape. We want a strong and respected nation. Not just the Rich win and everyone else can suffer, and the world can kiss our ass like the GOP dreamland.
Yall rock baby! We WILL WIN!
on edit: Oh im not famous by the by...I was an extra on a couple of films though does that count?
