:toast: :fistbump: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

but...here is my question: who's Ashton Kutcher?

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

[Winnipegosis]

1. Look up Demi Moore.

Really.

[hwmnbn]

7. That's his job......nt

[Smarmie Doofus]

2. Sit com actor ( That 70s Show) gone into movies. nt

[prostock69]

12. Also created "You've got Punk'd" on MTV

[Lorien]

3. Sitcom actor from "that 70's show"

he's become something of a liberal activist over the past seven years or so.

[Blue Gardener]

11. He's an Iowa boy

He attended the UofI for awhile before becoming a model, then an actor. He's more than Demi Moore's "boy toy". His twin brother received a heart transplant, maybe that's where Ashton gets a lot of his caring and compassion for those who don't always fit into a mold.

[Wizard777]

19. Compassion for those who don't always fit into a mold may be more a self interest

He has webbed toes.

[Truth Teller]

14. He talks exectly like Kelso!

I guess he wasn't acting. :)

I like his passion on this.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

20. I remember a speech he gave during a Kerry rally...

he spoke about how poor he was as a child, and how embarrassed he was when he had to show his free lunch pass in school everyday in order to get free lunch. He choked up as he spoke.

[Crunchy Frog]

4. Demi Moore's boy toy.

[Honeycombe8]

23. Well, I think they're married (either conventionally or common law). Been together for years.

Hardly a boy toy. Although I must admit he certainly looks the part! (come to mama!)

[DUlover2909]

5. He was in "Dude, Where's my Car?" and it was funny and stuff.

[keepCAblue]

6. Does those Nikon camera commercials...n/t

[stlsaxman]

8. okay- after seeing his reaction here i promise never to refer to him as...

"Action Kooter".

(darn it- that was a funny nickname!)

[tclambert]

9. More recently, he was in "The Guardian" with Kevin Costner

It was about swimming and stuff.

[Blue Gardener]

10. It's actually a pretty good movie

Worth renting

[SDFalconer]

13. I almost

saw Kelso in that clip LOL

Very good tho ... my sentiments exactly

[ksimons]

15. John Meacham really laid it on the line - amazing stuff he had to say

Goes to show you there are religious folks out there who don't have a Palintology view of the world

[SavageDem]

16. There are a LOT of us out here!

But since we're not about taking people's rights away, we don't get as much press. Unless we do something radical like make a TV commercial about inclusiveness that major networks (like ABC) wouldn't air. Talk about making me see red...

[mackerel]

17. but...here is my question: who's Ashton Kutcher?

Not to take away from what he said but seriously his 15 minutes are long over.

[progressoid]

22. Here...

Kutcher was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the son of Diane Portwood (née Finnegan), an employee of Procter & Gamble, and Larry Kutcher, who worked at a General Mills factory.<1><2><3> He is of part Irish ancestry.<2> Kutcher has an older sister, Holly Urekar, and a fraternal twin, Michael, who had a heart transplant when the brothers were young.</ref><3> Kutcher's childhood was that of a rugged, outdoorsy Midwesterner, and he had various odd jobs, including carpentry, and other jobs relating to farm life.

Kutcher attended Washington High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for about a year when his family moved to Tiffin, Iowa, where he attended the Clear Creek-Amana High School. In addition to being a student, he played on the football team as a wide receiver and appeared in school plays.<4> Meanwhile, his home life was stressful. He has stated that "I didn't want to come home and find more bad news about my brother" and "kept myself so busy that I didn't allow myself to feel."<5> Kutcher stated that as a teen, he contemplated committing suicide. At thirteen, he attempted to jump from a hospital balcony, but his father intervened at the last minute.<6> At around this time, his parents divorced. During his senior year, he broke into the high school at night with his cousin in an attempt to steal money; he was caught leaving the scene. Kutcher was convicted of third-degree burglary and sentenced to three years' probation and 180 hours of community service. Kutcher stated that though the experience "straightened him out", he lost his girlfriend and anticipated college scholarships, and he was ostracized at school and in his community.<4>

Kutcher attended the University of Iowa, where he majored in biochemical engineering (but did not receive a degree), motivated by the desire to find a cure for his brother's heart ailment.<3> At the University of Iowa, Kutcher was kicked out of his apartment for being too "noisy" and "wild".<7> Kutcher stated, "I thought I knew everything but I didn't have a clue. I was smoking a lot of weed and partying, and I woke up many mornings not knowing what I had done the night before. I played way too hard. I am amazed I am not dead."<8> He was a member of the Delta Chi fraternity. To make ends meet, Kutcher worked as a college summer hire in the cereal department for the General Mills plant in Cedar Rapids, and sometimes donated blood for money.<9> During his time at the University he was approached by a scout at a bar called The Airliner in Iowa City, Iowa, and was recruited to enter the "Fresh Faces of Iowa" modeling competition. After placing first, he won a trip to New York City to the International Modeling and Talent Association (IMTA) Convention. Following his stay in New York City Ashton returned home to Cedar Rapids, Iowa before relocating to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career.<7>

18. The Democrat in me says "good job Ashton".

But the movie buff in me says "who let that talentless, loud, MILF hunting, boy toy into a political arena." For your information, you can describe all his movies with the term "(something) and stuff," because there all junk. And like an above user said, the way you see him right now is the way he acts, because he can't! Watch the movie "The Butterfly Effect" and you'll see what I mean.

I don't know, sometimes I think us liberals need to be more careful about which celebrities we allow to speak for us. Some help us but some make us look bad.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

21. Wow, you're mean. ...What a useless rant. Do you feel better now?

[jhrobbins]

24. Absolutely. We Democrats are famous for shooting our own toes off.

Let's attack someone that agrees with our very platform and for what reason exactly? What, really - is it that he's rich, he's young, he's good looking. I don't get it.

[Cha]

25. I like Ashton Kutcher and

Joe Meacham's views on this.

Thanks, orleans..and Ashton Kutcher is an actor who was in "Guess Who" with Bernie Mac.

[Seldona]

26. Did Bong Hits with the Bush twins.

I wonder if they loaded their own hits?
