Kate Walsh Visits Bryn Mawr
Actress Kate Walsh (Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice) stopped by Bryn Mawr College last night to speak about why she supports Barack. In a science lecture hall, over 200 students listened to Kate speak about women’s issues, healthcare, the war in Iraq and why Barack should receive the Democratic nomination.

"You can see how a leader will act by the way a campaign is run. Barack doesn’t just talk about campaign finance reform—it’s happening. He isn’t taking or giving political favors. Every person is of special interest to him. He has this country’s best interest in mind."

1. lol
"He isn’t taking or giving political favors"

I bet Tony Rezko tells the story differently.

But I'm glad some actress I've never heard of from some tv show I've never heard of is telling the world what she thinks, because we all really do care.

2. She's just another simple Hollywood type.
She Should stick with "acting", if that's what you call it.

3. As opposed to you,
some complete and total nobody on a message board. What a loser that you have to shit on a silly little thread that some Gray's Anatomy fan might enjoy.

Thank you for your OP. Kate Walsh is not only a very talented actress, but a very intelligent woman. :)

7. and even different than your story...The Prosecutor tells a different one....
Barack is not accused of any wrong doing.

Guess they would know!

Paul vs. Clinton on the other hand on April 28th is a different story.

9. Not all political favors are illegal.
But to say with a straight face that you will get anywhere in Chicago machine politics without "giving or taking favors" is patently ridiculous. That's part of what being a politician, especially in the city that works, is all about.

10. Seriously - what a bunch of petty fools.
I can't believe I'd need to say this on DU but so many lately need to grow the hell up.

6. Excellent!
Very good for her to hit the campaign trail. She believes in Barack, and she's walking that walk. Glad to see it. :thumbsup:
