Thanks Hollywood

LOL. From Human Events Online:
HUMAN EVENTS has learned that a billboard blitz “thanking” Hollywood for the reelection of President Bush will be unveiled early next week.
The advertisements feature the faces of liberal Hollywood icons Michael Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Chevy Chase, Barbara Streisand, and Sean Penn, and offer thanks to Hollywood their help getting President Bush reelected.
Two versions of the billboard were created, both “thanking” Hollywood — the first for “4 more years” and the second for “W. Still President.”
Billboard creator Citizens United, a group that advocates a return to traditional American values, has purchased the use of three billboards near the Kodak Theatre (home of the Academy Awards) for the month of February, which includes Oscar Night, Sunday, February 27.
Asked about the campaign, Citizens United President David Bossie said, “We’re taking on Hollywood. We’ve done it in the past.” Of the organization’s many actions, one of its most famous challenges to Hollywood was Celsius 41.11, a documentary exposing “the truth behind the lies of Fahrenheit 9/11,” the Michael Moore anti-Bush mock-umentary.

I bet good money that everyone pictured on that billboard except Bush sue the group putting it up and it will be down soon. Too bad. It is very funny. And I received a DVD of “Celsius 41.11, The Tempurature at Which the Brain Begins to Die” for Christmas, and I love it.

The BB isn’t negative I think. Its true and the HoLYwood folk might even be proud of their accomplishment.

Awesome! Hollywood is starting to figure out (finally) that although we watch their movies and listen to their music, we as Americans truly despise celebrities and everything they stand for, and we don’t want their liberal values imposed on us or on our children.
Fame does not equal wisdom. Great job, Citizens United!
