Hey, if it's true, don't knock it. Every little bit helps.

"Bad things, man! Bad things!"

Great! It helps to have those hard-core badasses on your side. Give me Hopper and James Woods over Ben Affleck and Leonardo DeCaprio any day of the week.

If nothing else, it's funny.

Oh, I knew about this before.

If I recall correctly, what he said when some incredulous interviewer asked him why was something like "look, once you stop doing drugs it's pretty obvious."

And by the way - when I'm President we're not gonna make these PR missteps. Anyone who played a nitrous-sucking crazy in a David Lynch film is on my automatic invite list.

This kinda bugs me. I feel bad for Dennis. Is that stupid? Yes, it is.

"if" is the middle word in life, man

"us" is the middle word in Bush, man

whatever happened to "us", man?

Ace--

A theory.

Hopper sees Bush as the same character that he played in Hoosiers.

Give the town drunk a chance to reform and become a hero.

Seriously, what else is Hopper gonna say about Bush? That he was a wise man, he had plans,
he had wisdom? Bullshit, man.

Is Hopper going to be the one that's going to set them straight?

Didn't Obi-wan tell you? That hardly seems fair.

wait...are you saying Darth Vader is Lukes father?!
how about a spoiler warning there buddy?!!

Maybe he's out of ideas on how to be a 'rebel' and he's trying to freak out his friends on the Hollywood party circuit.

"So, Dennis, what's this we hear about you being a hard-core Bush supporer?"

"You know it man! I mean I am hard-core ultra-conservative, man! I just wanna go out and, you know, oppress minorities and blowing up countries I don't like and $hit! It gives me a rush, man! A RUSH!!"

"Whoa. I always knew you were a rebel, but this is really out there."

"You'd better believe it, man!

Speaking of David Lynch, he apparently adores Ronald Reagan, or so it said in a magazine interview I read once. I guess ya never know.

anybody wanna see Bill Gates posing for Teen Beat magazine back in the 80s?

Yep, it's true, Ace. Hopper is also a golf nut and a conservative. And as someone said, the change came about when he stopped partying.

I think a lot more of them are consevatives than we ever suspected. They are actors, they might act like they are liberals to get work, but how many of them truly want to pay higher taxes? If Aflack wanted to pay higher taxes like he claims why does he still take every deduction he possibly can? You can bet your paycheck that he negotiates every movie deal that he gets for the highest salary possible. The rest of them do the same, they don't want to pay more taxes, they want US to pay more.

Pop quiz, hotshot: You're riding past a golf course, snorting coke at 54 lines per hour. You have an eight-ball strapped below the driver, set to blow. You run out of coke. Suddenly you realize Carter isn't cool. You can stop the driver, blow the ball, and vote for Carter, or swing the driver, blow the ball away, and vote for Reagan. Who do you vote for? Who do you vote for?

To expand on Son of Nixon's post:

Hey, man, you don't talk to Dubya. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll, uh, well, you'll say hello to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you, and he won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say do you know that if is the middle word in life? If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you -- I mean I'm no, I can't -- I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's, he's a great man. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across floors of silent seas -- I mean --

Is anyone else cheesed off at the White House about this? I supported their decision to boot Kid Rock but this is completely different and was wholly unnecessary.

I saw Joey Pants (actor from Sopranos) on Entertainment Tonight or something, the Creative Coalition is a non partisan group and they are just trying to network so they can keep the funds flowing for the arts

I don't think Hopper is necessarily a Bushie,

whether or not he was, I think it is highly tacky to disinvite anyone to any function and especially the organizer of the function.......looks petty and tacky

unless Hopper is a 9-11 Democrat

some Hollywood types, like Dennis Miller, changed their tunes after 9-11, and even politicians like Zell Miller and Ed Koch

Actually, more surprising to me was that Hopper was a big supporter of Newt Gingrich. If I recall correctly, Hopper even wrote him a nice letter when Newt resigned as Speaker -- I don't think it was one of those sarcastic ones either. And remember, when Gingrich stepped down he wasn't the Newt of 95 -- he was the "get him the hell out of here now" Newt.

It wasn't the White House that un-invited him, it was the weird Hollywood organization throwing the party that did. Read the article. And yes, I did know he was a Republican and was happy when I found out he was. Ya, rebels can wise up too.
