It sure was a shock to learn, just before Christmas, that Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins were breaking up. Since their very brief announcement, the rumor mill has been running wild. A new article by a reporter from The Daily Beast, who has a long history of not-so-pleasant run-ins with the couple, suggests that the split may have been caused by Susan and Tim’s differences of opinion on political issues. Specifically, the report claims that Robbins has been quietly donating campaign money to Republicans (gasp!) while Susan has gone even further to the left. According to this report, even Susan’s own mom was surprised by the breakup.

Loyal Dems would undoubtedly be gobsmacked to learn that, if Federal Election Commission records are to be believed, Robbins has not only donated regularly to Democratic candidates over the past 18 years, he also has written checks to conservative Republicans. In the 2006 election cycle, according to public records, the actor gave $5,000 to 10 Republican candidates for the House and Senate—including, most shocking of all, Minnesota’s resident wingnut, Rep. Michele Bachmann. Why such largesse to the enemy? Former GOP congressman J.D. Hayworth of Arizona, who lost in 2006 despite Robbins’ $500 donation, was baffled and surprised when I reached him over the weekend. “Maybe because I covered the Durham Bulls as a sports broadcaster in the late 1970s and early ’80s? Maybe because I used to frequently rent Bob Roberts back in the ’90s?” Hayworth wondered, mentioning two of Robbins’ starring vehicles. “All I can say is, ‘Thank you!’ I hope he enjoyed the Christmas card.” My efforts to reach Robbins to hear his explanation were unavailing, alas.

If it's true that Tiim Robbins donated to republicanz, including Michelle Bachmann, more power to Susan Sarandon for dumping the shmuck.

2. I feel bad for him because of the headline of this article.

A friend of mine who works in the service industry was Susan and TIM's waiter one time, and after they left the restaurant, noticed they had left a few the kid's toys at the table.

My friend scooped up the toys, ran after the couple, tapped Tim on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Sarandon, you left these behind'.

:rofl:

4. He might have a perverse desire to have crazy idiots in power to laugh at.

It's possible. Like maybe he sees it as tipping the clowns at a child's birthday party.

6. I have always been in love with Tim.

With as many times that he has been so outspokenly leftish on Bill Maher, it is hard to believe he would ever lean right. Maybe, it's really something else, and they are using politics to cover it up!

7. maybe

he's having one hell of a mid-life crisis:rofl:
