Thank God for celebrities in politics

. . . who else would be brave enough to speak out against the vast campaign to legalise rape?

I missed that on Oprah, but I'm sure I can catch the highlights on tonight's CBS News.

It's sad when celebs ad-lib.

It *does* bring to mind Candy Pink's (Julie Brown) beach song in Earth Girls are Easy.

This is a story? Oh, that's right, a celebrity said something.

I suggest she change her name to "Cameron Dumbass".

Sorta like sending out donor solicitations with the word "Banned" stamped across the Bible. But no one would do that...

I think this calls for a contest. Fill in the blank:

"If you think ____, then don't vote!"

See if you can be more outrageous than Cameron.

My entry: "If you think eating people's children should be legal, then don't vote!"

"If you think eating people's children should be legal, then don't vote!"

If you don't vote, I'll eat my own.

Wait. That won't encourage anyone to vote who's actually met me.

Never mind.

I didn't see the show, but it sounds like all she was really getting at is that if you don't care about the consequences of the election, then don't vote. I'm sure Ms. Diaz doesn't literally believe that the legalization of rape is part of any candidate's platform, it was just an extreme (and poorly chosen) rhetorical example to hammer home the fact that you *should* care.

Maybe legalising Rape would be a good way to get the birth rate up? Someone should mention it to Will Hutton... For the common good etc, They are societies reproductive organs after all...

Actually, marriage is legalized rape, at least according to some. Apparently the “gorgeous” blond didn’t get the memo. Does the “touch-up” solution follow the hair follicle?

Ya know, you just have to admire a celeb that risks “it all” to participate in the political process. Quite frankly, the statement more than matches the intellectual prowess of any of the other celebs to date.
