John Kerry's "Bad Joke" About the Military: Where the Real Dummies End Up

When John Kerry made his latest liberal foot-in-mouth statement that angered so many of our soldiers, their families, and those of us who admire them, he got it wrong. He told an audience of students that if they do not do well in school, they could end up in Iraq (then claimed it was a joke and within hours, he and all his liberal pals attempted to blame his comment on Republicans... big surprise!). It would make more sense if he said "if you don't do well in school, you could end up in Hollywood."

Take a look at the education levels of many of the Hollywood Royalty who think so highly of themselves that they actually believe they are military strategists. Af ter reading this you'll see... it takes little education to make it in Hollywood. In fact, based on some of the garbage currently coming out of Tinsel Town, the less education, the better your chances may be of hitting the big time.

Cher: Dropped out of school in 9th grade. Career - Singing and acting and denigrating George Bush.

Barbra Streisand : Completed high school. Career - Singing and acting. Streisand not only is an expert military strategist, but an expert Democrat. She once wrote a scathing letter to the Democrat leadership, explaining how they should be handling things. She sent it to Dick Gephardt and someone leaked it to the media. It was embarrassingly full of typos and other errors, yet we should trust our security to her. Uh-huh. I pasted a copy at the bottom of this article.

Martin Sheen: Flunked exam to enter University of Dayton. Career- Acting

Jessica Lange: Dropped out of college mid-freshman year. Career - Acting

Alec Baldwin: Dropped out of George Washington. Career- Acting. Back during the Clinton impeachment, Baldwin went on TV and said Americans should go to the home of Henry Hyde, take up rocks, and stone him AND HIS FAMILY to death. Now he says it was a joke. He and John Kerry have a lot in common... inability to tell a joke and lack of common sense to know what is funny.

Julia Roberts: Completed high school. Career - Acting. Another failed jokester... says she looked up Republican in the dictionary and found it between "reptile" and "repugnant." Surprisingly, Ms. Roberts does know her alphabet. But she failed to realize that Democrat is in the dictionary between "decay" and "dumb-as-a-doorknob."

Sean Penn: Completed High school. Career- Acting

Susan Sarandon: Degree in Drama from Catholic University of America in Washington, D. C. Career -
Acting. At least she has a degree, though I wasn't aware that a degree in drama qualifies one as an expert in military strategy, or in fact, anything other than standing on a stage mouthing words written by someone else.

Ed Asner: Completed High school. Career - Acting. Asner is an outspoken admirer of Fidel Castro. He did a radio interview in which he got agitated and claimed that George Bush is bad, bad, bad, though when he was asked why Bush is bad, he had no explanation and said it was true because he knows it is true. Allrighty then. I guess he is such a god that we are supposed to take his enlightened word for it.

George Clooney: Dropped out of University of Kentucky Career- Acting.

Larry Hagman: Attended Bard College for one year.
Career- Acting

Michael Moore: Dropped out first year University of Michigan. Career- Movie Director. Some people love his documentaries (fake-umentaries?) but even some highly placed liberals admit they contain numerous errors and are edited to create a false impression. So much for honesty.

Sarah Jessica Parker: Completed High School. Career- Acting

Jennifer Anniston: Completed High School. Career- Acting

Mike Farrell: Completed High school. Career- Acting

Janeane Garofalo: Dropped out of College. Career - Stand up comedienne. Garofalo said in an interview that she didn't protest war efforts under Clinton although she claims to have opposed them. Her reason for not protesting then she says, is because it "wasn't hip." Janeane's lack of depth is obvious. She does, however, have the unique ability to get in the minds of every Republican Christian woman, because she claims to know that we are "self-haters." Janeane loves to say that George Bush is ... get this... "intellectually incurious." In a TV interview she said those words over and over and over, as if saying them makes us think she is intelligent. Uh... no.

Well Janeane... let's compare your intellectual curiousity to Bush's. Janeane didn't make it in college, and now has a failed career on Air America.

Here are just a few of the credentials of the Bush Administration.

President George W. Bush: Received a Bachelors Degree from Yale University and an MBA from Harvard Business
School. He served as an F-102 pilot for the Texas Air National Guard.

Vice President Dick Cheney: Earned a B. A. in 1965 and a M. A. in 1966, both in political science.

Secretary of State and former National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice: Earned her Bachelor's Degree in Political Science, Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa, from the University of Denver in 1974; her Master's from the University of Notre Dame in 1975; and her Ph. D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver in 1981. (Note: Rice enrolled at the University of Denver at the age of 15, graduating at 19 with a
Bachelor's Degree in Political Science (Cum Laude).

Here's what I want to know: we all have opinions. Few of us get microphones shoved in our faces every time we burp, and have those burps recorded as if they were the wisdom of the ages. Why do we do that with celebrities? Most of us have more education and probably better morals and common sense than the Hollywood stars listed above, who seem to believe they could do a better job at running the war and the country and your life and my life. We give these people microphones so they can entertain us, and the dumbest among them use those microphones to shove their politics down our throats... and some Americans let them. If you are taking your political views from Cher... you've got bigger problems than being politically misguided.

Here's a clue: just because someone can stand on a stage and recite words written by someone else, that does not make them experts on anything except maybe standing on a stage and reciting someone else's hard work. Why then, do they think that makes them experts on everything? Most of them have severely messed up lives and chances are, your life is better. It's true that most of them have talent, but so do the high school drama groups around the country. The difference is, those kids haven't been "discovered" and don't have personal trainers, hair stylists, and special photography to give the illusion that they look better than others.

Here is a copy of Major General Barbra Streisand's Directive to the Democrats

CONFIDENTIAL MEMO

DATE. September 25, 2002
TO: Congressman Dick Gebhardt
FROM Barbra Streisand/Margery Tabankin
RE. Take the Offense

As you know, Barbra Streisand is busy in rehearsals for the performance she's giving on Sunday for the DCCC, so she asked me convey to you her feeling that it is time for the Democrats to get off the defensive and go on the offensive.

Naturally, Barbra's not surprised to see the Bush administration evoke strong rhetoric about Democrats caring more about their own 'special interests' than protecting the security of the country. Of course, the Republicans will say anything they need to in order to accomplish their own political agenda. Barbra feels that the Democratic Leadership must not continue to take this lying down.

While the Republicans are shouting about the Democrats' special interests, why are the Democrats not saying the same about the Republicans? How can we ignore the obvious influence on the Bush Administration of such special interests as the oil industry, the chemical companies, the logging industry, the defense contractors, the mining industry, and the automobile industry, just to name a few? Many of these industries, run by big Republican donors and insiders, clearly have much to gain if we go to war against Iraq. Barbra urges the Democrats to publicly convey this message to the American people.

While there are serious problems with Iraq and Saddam Hussein, Barbra feels that we can't let this issue become a distraction from the country's domestic problems and the President inability to fully dismantle the Al Queda network. Afterall, Sadam Hussein did not bomb the World Trade Center.

Feel free to call Barbra or me at 310-395-3599 if you would like to discuss this further.
