Nope.

I'd link to the several other times this has already been posted in the past couple days, but that's Ivan's job.

Instead I'll just link you to snopes where you can see that this is false.

OK

Ya know, that's not such a bad plan.

Gotta love Robin Williams.

Edit: Just read Justin's post. Still not a bad plan though, even if it wasn't Robin Williams'.

I also thought Robin was a leftie. That's why he's a great actor (I mean that) and the greatest comedian - and not in politics.

This sounds more like Dennis Miller. And the plan actually sounds pretty good except for the extreme isolationist slant.

As opposed to Ronald Reagan, who should have stuck with acting and stayed the hell out of politics.

Have you ever seen his movies?

The republican party is the party of hollywood; surely you can think of a few famous actors who became republican politicians.

No matter how bad they were, they couldn't have been as awful as his role as the president. Besides, I can always avoid bad movies.

Reagan, maybe Arnold soon. I don't follow local politics. Was Gopher (Love Boat) and Sonny Bono rebublicans?

BUT, I'd love to see CONGRESSMAN Dennis Miller (R) in a debate with another rep or senator. That would be rich.

I do think Reagan did much more good than harm and was likely the best president in a very long time. I'll be as vague as JT on this statement.

I also agree that I'd much rather keep seeing Robin Williams in serious movie roles than any of the republican actors trying out for public office. I didn't like any movie I've seen with Reagan yet.

But do ya really think hollywood is all about republicans? That's really interesting.

Not at all. If anything, they're all about themselves way more than any political party. But if you're talking about a former actor going on to being a politician, chances are he's a republican.

[beowulf 1]

interesting plan even though Robin Williams didn't write that. The only problem with that is who would do all of those jobs that illegal mexicans are doing?
Not Me. There would have to be special considerations for them.

Still doesn't mean hollywood is all about republicans, just that (extremely) small group with asperations to go and do something rather than just protest against whatever is popular.

It just means the actors that are Republican have more conscience and intelligence and realism in their makeup than their other whiney lib counterparts. Or, their other whiney liberal (self-important closet aristocrat) counterparts have ostrasized them because of their politics and running for office is a natural place to go since they are popular and visible.........

(that ought get something out of someone )

No, those go on to make millions in the industry. Realists of good conscience do not go on to be politicians.

>Or, their other whiney liberal (self-important closet aristocrat)

What's a closet aristocrat? Someone who has a lot of money but doesn't flaunt it? Sounds like a virtue if you ask me, like a closet genius.

> running for office is a natural place to go since they are popular and visible.........

So people ostracize them and they are therefore popular? Might want to rethink that logic.

Wouldn't it be more virtuous of you Bill to go back to being a closeted genius?

But he wouldn't be able to stay there for very long. So then we'd have Bill coming back out of the closet, and that is a totally different humor thread.

Bill - you're goofing with me. But that's ok, I need the practice.

{{I'll take that, because Reagan was certainly very poor}}}

>Or, their other whiney liberal (self-important closet aristocrat)

What's a closet aristocrat? Someone who has a lot of money but doesn't flaunt it? Sounds like a virtue if you ask me, like a closet genius.

{{{Means to me, someone who says they are for the poor, but really think they are so much smarter than everyone else that they should be the ruling class - "it's for everyone's own good"}}}

> counterparts have ostrasized them because of their politics and
> running for office is a natural place to go since they are popular and visible.........

So people ostracize them and they are therefore popular? Might want to rethink that logic.

{{Not at all - ostracized by their counterparts (the liberal hollywood types) but popular in that as actors they are well known (not necessarily well-liked) by the public (you know, those unwashed masses that are too stupid to take care of themselves so the Hollywood Dems want to run their lives for them).}}}

{{{Gosh, if I wanted to pick at your thread, I could purposely misread your statement as only being popular in Hollywood matters and the regular guy doesn't count - but I know you don't really feel that way. Further, I could misread your response in that you feel there are really true Aristocrats in this country and they are defined by their money and that you admire them solely because they are rich - but I know you don't feel that way.}}

I hope that clears up your read on this.

"realists of good conscience don't go on to politices" Good One, really.
