McCain Hollywood fundraiser. Checkers and cookies with this gang of winners:

[Neshanic]

Stephen Baldwin
Pat Boone
Wilford Brimley
Dean Cain
Jon Cryer
Robert Duvall
Angie Harmon
Patricia Heaton
Lorenzo Lamas
Craig T. Nelson
Gail O'Grady
Jason Sehorn
Gary Sinise
Jon Voight

Oh to be in that room, and feel the excitement as Wilford tells everyone to shut up from the podium. Lorenzo Lamas? Is that insane? He was on a reality show for chrissakes. Dean Cain just has issues apparently, and Gary Sinise is milking Forrest Gump still. But the big one, PAT BOONE! Was he in his leather phase or drunk as a skunk phase or both?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

1. Now this is comedy gold. Somebody call Stephanie Miller and her voice guy. n/t

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. Except for Robert Duvall, all of them are talentless hacks.

[TransitJohn]

36. Sinise is a good actor.

Didn't know he was with the dark side.

[nini]

3. WAIT!!!!

I thought Hollywood was ALL a bunch of liberals??????

[ingac70]

5. Gary

[TheWraith]

6. Gary Sinise? Nuts.

He was really good in Apollo 13.

[arKansasJHawk]

7. And then there's this:

The co-host of a recent top-dollar fundraiser for Sen. John McCain oversaw the payment of roughly $1.7 million to a Colombian paramilitary group that is today designated a terrorist organization by the United States.

Carl H. Lindner Jr., the billionaire Cincinnati businessman, was CEO of Chiquita Brands International from 1984 to 2001, and remained on the company's board of directors until May 2002. Beginning under his tenure, Chiquita executives paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (known by the Spanish acronym AUC), which is described by George Washington University's National Security Archive as an "illegal right-wing anti-guerrilla group tied to many of the country's most notorious civilian massacres."

...

Late last week, Lindner co-hosted a $25,000-per-person fundraiser for McCain and the Republican Party in the wealthy Indian Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The event raised about $2 million; Lindner also serves on McCain's Ohio Victory Team.

More ...

Next time Rictus Grin McSame blabs about fundraisers, the Obama campaign should pummel them with this.

[zulchzulu]

8. Wilford Brimley and Lorenzo Lamas will dress up like Sarah

Worth the admission to this sorry cricketfest...

[gatorboy]

9. Jon Cryer??? Duckie????

:rofl:

[bullwinkle428]

17. I guess that makes Jon Cryer the "Half" in "Two and a Half Men"!

[Arugula Latte]

10. Could there be any sadder list of "celebrities" than the first three?

Baldwin, Boone and Brimley -- Oh my fucking god! :rofl:

[Neshanic]

11. Seriously. I would need a scotch in one hand and a pile of dog shit in the other at that gig.

[maseman]

12. I thought Wilford Brimley was dead

:shrug:

[Neshanic]

14. Maybe...If McCain can invent the Blackberry, he can maybe raise the dead.

[Lucky 13]

18. No. He has Diabeetus though.

He says so on TV daily.

[chitty]

13. OH NO!

Not Gail O'Grady.

I guess I could overlook it.

Everyone's got flaws.

[mitchum]

31. She's also a degenerate gambler

I guess she feels an affinity for McCain

[alsame]

16. That's really pathetic. eom

[Graybeard]

19. Can you say..."B" list?

Has beens and a never was...or two...or three.

[Vinca]

20. I'm seriously disappointed in Gary Sinese, but the real shock is

Wilfred Brimley and Pat Boone are still alive.

[Graybeard]

21. LOL. Don't be so sure about that.

Maybe it was a Weekend At Bernie's party.

[Zhade]

22. Mr. Incredible is on the dark side? NOOOOOOO!!!

Such a shame!

[Kerrytravelers]

25. I know. I was kinda sad, too. But I guess he doens't mind making a total fool of himself.

Edited to clean up list (remove citing numbers found on Wikipedia) and bold titles. I'm particular regarding neatness.

[Nedsdag]

26. Lexington Steele?

Isn't he a porn star? :shrug:

[Kerrytravelers]

28. I dunno.

:shrug:

But hey, they vote, too! :shrug:

[Lucky 13]

33. Know who's glaringly absent from that list... Angelina Jolie.

Brad is on there...

I can't fucking figure for the life of me why SHE would even CONSIDER McCain.

[Kerrytravelers]

40. I think, because she is a UN Goodwill Ambassador, she feels it is best to be nonpartisan.

In an Entertainment Weekly interview, she says she is registered Independent.

However, that being said, I think there are times when you just have to take a stand. I don't think it would jeapordize her UN status, but even if it did, she is still in a position to get shit done. But, I don't know all the facts.

[SaveAmerica]

29. Mr. Incredible AND Superman!!!!!

(Dean Cain)

[progressivebydesign]

23. Wow... lots of C-list talent in there. On the bright side, no paparazzi to deal with.

McCain really draws in the good ones, eh?

Isn't it about time for Obama/Biden to have one of those great street parties in Philly or Cleveland soon? Like they did with Springsteen and Bon Jovi? Time to show the strength of our numbers.. with some REAL stars!

That list was hilarious. It reads like:

Has Been
""
""
Never Was
Has Been
Never Was
Who the fuck is that?
Has Been
Never Was
Wish they was
Are they still alive?
Who?
Has been.

:rofl:

[elkston]

24. Lorenzo Lamas! LOL! -- (eom)

[anneboleyn]

27. DUCKIE?? I had no idea he was a republican. Wasn't when he was wearing creepers and hair gel back in

the 80s, I am guessing...

[Raine]

30. Craig T Nelson ... oh DAMN

I used to love Coach. :argh:

[ncteechur]

32. You forgot Chuck Norris and Tom Selleck.

[Lucky 13]

34. Douchebags

God I can't stand all the Chuck Norris jokes.

[vanderBeth]

35. I don't know who 6 of those people are and the others are Ducky, and anti-semitic singer,

a talentless Baldwin, the mom from Everybody loves Raymond, Coach, and Angelina Jolie's father. Robert Duvall and Gary Sinese (who are now on my shit-list) are the only real names on the list.

What a star-studded Hollywood fundraiser.
:sarcasm:

[I LIKE IKE 61]

38. ..

Brimley. LOL:
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/52817/

OMG! Dieabetes!!!

[vanderBeth]

39. Okay, I know who he is.

[crazy_vanilla]

37. THEY CALL THEM AFFORDABLE CELEBRITIES

for a reason. They are on the E list if you ask me.

[Forkboy]

41. I still love Wilford Brimley in The Thing.

And no one can ever, ever change that! :cry:
