WHAT? Did you know Adam Sandler's a republican?

[JeffersonChick]

I had no idea! How very bizarre.

[Supply Side Jesus]

1. explains alot

like how I never like him to begin with. ;-)

[myrna minx]

9. LOL - I can't stand the guy either.

:D

[chollybocker]

2. That's because he's a douche. Also.

It's why he's a douche. Chicken and egg thing.

[JeffersonChick]

3. LOL! Too funny n/t

[cbdo2007]

4. Well he doesn't seem like a very bright guy.

Like the type to sit and ponder over issues and stuff. He's probably just got some friend who's a repube who convinced him that's the best.

[LeftinOH]

5. And his body of work reflects it.. n/t

[stuntcat]

30. ditto

movies for boneheads

[SpiralHawk]

36. His movies are reliably lame

Republicon Family Values translated to culture = a fart & a smirk. Pretty damn lame.

[Orsino]

6. At how many millions of dollars per movie?

The amazing thing is how few Hollywood stars turn Republican.

[melman]

7. He's from New Hampshire

They can't help it.

[Arugula Latte]

8. Doesn't surprise me. I've never seen the appeal of Mr. No Talent

[KamaAina]

10. I did indeed know that

so basically, the repuke Oscars come down to him, Reagan, and Schwarzenegger. :eyes:

[LynneSin]

15. Don't forget Chuck Norris and Kelsey Grammer

:puke:

[KamaAina]

17. And the repuke Oscar goes to...

Kelsey Grammer. At least it was fun to watch Frasier fail utterly at every relationship in his life. And don't forget Sideshow Bob!

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Considering how unfunny and what a douche he is, I'm not surprised.

[bikebloke]

12. He's certainly not a good comic actor.

[EnviroBat]

13. Yeah, I figured anyone with so little talent, and the ability to annoy

even inanimate objects with his stupidity HAS to be a republicant.

[Yavin4]

14. Big Guiliani Supporter in 2008. It's Probably Because of Israel.

Sandler is drawn to Republicans because of the neocon element in the party.

[Bombtrack]

35. That's a disturbingly baseless statement

When has Adam Sandler ever shown any public preoccupation with foreign policy in general or Israeli issues in particular?

I don't think he's ever made any serious public statement about any FP issue other than possibly the straight-foward "support the troops" no-duh.

[Yavin4]

40. Ever See "Don't Mess with the Zohan"? nt

[dawg]

16. Well file him in the Kelsey Grammer *douchebag* file ...

he can help keep Dennis Miller and Drew Carey company.

[Bombtrack]

33. I really think Dennis Miller is the only true asshole of the above mentioned

I've heard and read plenty of evidence that Kelsey Grammer and Drew Carey are really nice people. Completely removed from politics, I've heard and read also that Dennis Miller is one of the biggest assholes in show biz.

Both Kelsey and Drew have gone through really hard things in their lives, which I think reflects itself in how they treat "the little people" personally, even if they can't extrapolate that politically in who they do or don't vote for.

[dawg]

37. Actually, Dennis Miller is also the only one ...

whose work I don't enjoy at all anymore. Sandler, I mostly find mildly amusing. Occasionally, I laugh out loud. Drew Carey is funny. I'm not a big fan, but I do find him funny. And Kelsey Grammer is Frasier *and* Sideshow Bob. I'll always appreciate him for those rolls.

Dennis Miller just seems unfunny to me now. It even colors his earlier work, just thinking about the way he is lately.

Well, I do have to give Dennis Miller one thing. He was in one of my favorite movies of all time.

(Joe Dirt):hi:

[Bombtrack]

38. 2 reason's I'll never gang up on Kelsey is what I've heard some Simpsons writers or producers say

about why they keep bringing him back, basically that he's a pleasure to work with. And 2: If you ever hear the history of his early life, it's amazingly tragic. I can totally grant him a few drinking/sexing scandals and some disagreements politically for the good stuff he brings to the table. I always thought he should play Eisenhower in a somewhat related inclusion. He was the last Republican president I like and Kelsey is one of the few Republican celebrities I feel the need to defend.

[Auggie]

18. I've never been a fan

[Enrique]

19. his era on SNL struck me as republican

asshole frat-boy republican.

[Archae]

28. He's not as bad as Victoria Jackson...

Because he doesn't regularly make a total ass of himself outside of movies.

[trof]

20. I just know he is an unfunny dork.

I've tried watching his movies a few times.
meh
Rather clip my toenails.

[UTUSN]

21. Thank gawd!1 I thought it meant "David SPADE" (who was really good with Wendie MALICK"

in "Just Shoot Me". I love Wendie MALICK.

[Bombtrack]

39. I like David Spade more than most snarky, jealous, internet people do

and I can assure you he leans left. He said on one of the most recent interviews I heard of him (although it could have been a taped old interview from Howard Stern years ago I forget) that he was basically apolitical, and didn't dare venture into political opinionating.

But he got on board for Kerry in '04 at atleast one event where he was one of the marquee promotions.

[iris27]

22. I'd find it more bizarre if he were a Democrat.

The man just exudes a "tool" vibe.

[JeffersonChick]

23. Yeah, I never thought he was funny either.

Oh. As for celebrities - let's not forget Mel Gibson!!!

[rurallib]

24. how's this for a night of comedy - Sandler, Dennis Miller and

Kelsey Grammer?

[RandomThoughts]

25. They don't have to have the best ideas to act the parts.

Funny thing, there are some that think because some group puts out a script, or something, that the story in that script is the same story everyone sees.


There are many stories in many pieces of many things. You have to see past the blockers.

[nolabear]

26. In the words of Al Franken, "Oyoyoy!!!"

Gee, so much for my wild sexual fantasies about Adam Sandler...snk...snort...Bwahahahahahaaaa! Damn, just couldn't go there.

[Iggo]

27. I'm rarely surprised to learn that some multi-millionaire is a Republican. (n/t)

[stuntcat]

29. I heard that once

Once I hear that about someone I can't forget it, I mean I can't see them at all without thinking of it. I won't watch a second of someone like that that I don't have to, it turns me off completely. That's how silly I am about it :blush:

(edit-most people I can let go easy, but I felt sorta sad about Lyle Lovette.)

[lunamagica]

31. Yes, I knew. I remember many years ago when he was still on SNL

he went to the Letterman show. It was election time, so Dave asked him who he was going to vote for. He said ne didn't follow those things, and that "my daddy tells me who to vote for".

Brilliant guy, uh?

[Bombtrack]

32. I think he's a very moderate one. I try not to automatically hate someone just because they're Repub

Usually Republicans happen to have a bunch of other qualities that make them hatable.

I think Sandler's dad was probably a Republican and he's the kind of guy who just wants to be like his dad politically, but doesn't have as much animosity towards Democrats as typical Republicans you see in media.

It's not like he discriminates against liberal actors and directors being involved with his projects.

His hanger-on Allen Covert seems to be more hardcore/annoying of a republican. Who influenced who is anybody's guess.

[TZ]

34. +1

I'm betting everyone in this thread has heard and laughed and enjoyed Sandler's Hannukkah Song. Its sheer genius. He's actually done some funny stuff from time to time. Do I think everything he does is funny...nooooo but the whole he's a republican of course he's not funny is as stupid as his character from the Waterboy.
I have some conservative Jews in my family, its probably because he's pro-Israel more than anything else
