We love seeing famous people "taken down" or "put in their place" so what famous person do you want

[RB TexLa]

to see go through a "Paris esque" situation. (No politicians)

I was thinking maybe that Julia Roberts piece of shit.

[devilgrrl]

1. George W. Bush.

eom

[RB TexLa]

2. He's a politician. Has run for elective office 5 times I think.

[devilgrrl]

22. Tell that to others that chose him as well.

Seems that I'm not alone.

[RB TexLa]

28. I didn't want to have to answer it to everyone, wasn't singling you out

your's just happened to be the first.

[devilgrrl]

37. Fine.

:-)

[Sanity Claws]

3. *, all Cheneys, Gonzo, etc.

Why would you pick Julia Roberts?

[Fresh_Start]

4. The entire Bush cabal

Laura announces that the twins aren't George's they're 41's.

Then Barbara announces that George and Jeb are not 41's, they were the milkmans.

[gollygee]

5. Julia Roberts?

What bad thing has she done?

[gemlake]

33. I don't know. Has she done something "slutty"?

That seems to be a criminal offense requiring prison time, based on the posts here today. Or maybe, even worse, she's "bitchy" and "entitled."

[RB TexLa]

46. She put puppies in a washing machine.

I don't know I just picked one of those people.

[jpgray]

6. Anyone who engages in illegal behavior, then fails to receive the punishment ordinary people do

I know buying into the commercial cult of celebrity and empathizing with its denizens is kind of the anti-hipster thing to do now, like going into paroxysms of distaste when Pabst Blue Ribbon is mentioned, but it's all sort of empty and completely useless. She did something wrong, so there's no real sort of witch hunt here--people are going over the top with their joy and schaedenfruede because they can, and don't have anything better to do.

[liberal N proud]

7. bu$h, cheney & rrr-rove

Those three would be sufficient for me

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Rue McClanahan.

God damn her.

[Patsy Stone]

10. ...

:rofl:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

16. It's no laughing matter.

Rue fucking McClanahan!

[Patsy Stone]

18. I beg to differ:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=1075038&mesg_id=1075200

I think it's funny we posted these at the exact same time. :)

ed: clarity.

[AlCzervik]

really, she's had it far too good for way too long.

[uppityperson]

9. Julia Roberts? Why?

[MikeNearMcChord]

11. Michael Vick the QB of the Atlanta Falcons

Highest paid player of the NFL and animal sadist! Dog Fighting? Shame!

[emilyg]

38. Yes!!!

He's disgusting.

[reichstag911]

12. Julia Roberts?

Why's she a piece of shit? Did she get a restraining order against you?

[RB TexLa]

14. LOL. I've never met her, they're all the same, just picked one

I'm sure she's human filth.

[reichstag911]

45. We've chatted before...

...on these boards, but I don't remember you ever saying anything that silly. "They're all the same...human filth?" Wow. First, who's "they?"

If I had to guess, I'd bet that as a friend of George Clooney and his coterie of actor/activist friends, Ms. Roberts' politics would lean to the left. Or is it just her wealth derived from a profession which, arguably, does not contribute greatly to the betterment of mankind? Or is it a general disgust with our infotainment-dominated media? Inquiring minds want to know...

[RB TexLa]

47. A little of both. The media and some Friday night silliness

And I picked her just because most everyone seems to think favorably of her. I have found her irritating at times but not really filth.

[babylonsister]

13. Patricia Heaton

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Heaton

[rurallib]

15. Limbaugh, hannity, Michael Reagan, Savage, britt hume, Kondrake

ETc. Etc. ETc........
Need I go on
OH and Fallafel man!

[Patsy Stone]

17. Tom.Fucking.Cruise.

:puke:

[AlCzervik]

21. somewhere there is a glib and suppressive couch waited to be jumped upon.

that couch doesn't know the history of psychology and Tom is going to school it.

[Patsy Stone]

36. He's a pissant.

Xenu bless him. He's just a body thetan who evolved from the clams.

[colorado thinker]

30. Absolutely!

He is one creepy little (and I mean that literally) worm. I've always thought so.

[Make7]

19. Taking pleasure in the the misfortune of others....

... is why I became a liberal in the first place. Thank you for capturing so vividly the essence of what progressive thinking is all about. Kudos to you sir!

Personally, I would like to see every single famous and rich person humiliated and sent to prison, because that is after all what we love.

- Make7

[Maru Kitteh]

54. schadenfreude

I make no apologies.

On edit: I lied about posting only once to this thread. Now I must be going.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. Something about Julia Roberts has ALWAYS pissed me off.

It was much worse in the 90s; she doesn't bother me nearly as much these days.

[RB TexLa]

24. I hear she steals change out of the fund raising buckets at 7-11s

[Warren DeMontague]

39. She always leaves the toilet seat up.

Wait, that's not right.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

52. The fact that she has more teeth than a horse?

[Warren DeMontague]

55. No. Nothing overtly superficial. It was more her attitude. I really can't put my finger on it.

But she doesn't bother me like she used to about a decade ago, that's for sure.

[Breeze54]

23. I don't love seeing the famous go down..I enjoy seeing the ARROGANT go down!!!

There is a difference, I think.

[Dr.Phool]

25. Charlton Heston in front of a firing squad,

Or maybe shot in a drive-by with gorillas.

[shadowknows69]

26. This is true

and sadly I've actually experienced it. I was a quasi-celebrity in my home city for a spell. Big fish small pond type of thing. Radio personality, producer. My and my wife's name were intentionally dragged through the mud and I'm essentially blacklisted in my field here because of the machinations of some of my local "colleagues" and various others that couldn't stand to see the "fat kid" get a little success.

[frogcycle]

27. any of a number of fat cat CEOs

particularly the m-i complex ones

[frogcycle]

29. rupert murdoch

[AlCzervik]

31. oh shit i actually thought of one--Donald Trump.

[DUgosh]

32. not that famous but arrest them for....

Kathie Lee Gifford - making my skin crawl. x(

John Hagee - selling snake oil and evading taxes. }(
Elisabeth Hasselbeck - hurting my ears. :nopity:
Toby Keith - wrapping himself in the flag ( it's my flag too). :patriot:
Donald Trump - for being on TV. :argh:

Jenna Bush - claiming to write a book she compares to Anne Frank. :eyes:
Laura Bush - drunk driving :toast:
Jennifer Aniston - & all her Friends :grouphug:
Pat Robertson - weight lifting accident :woohoo:
Jerry Falwell - but ( why kick a man when he's down ) Really down :evilgrin:

[foreigncorrespondent]

34. George W. Bush! n/t

[PA Democrat]

35. I don't "love" seeing famous people "taken down". I am just sick of 24-7 coverage of

their escapades substituting for coverage of real news that Americans should be seeing. Personally, I turn the TV off when one of these celebrity marathons are taking place.

[Warren DeMontague]

40. I turned off Cable "Newz" in mid 2004. Haven't looked back.

Fuck em. It's crap.

[MH1]

41. Glenn Beck. n/t

[shadowknows69]

42. I have people in my area taking bets on whether or not I'll commit suicide

celebrity hatred can get pretty evil and silly.

[RB TexLa]

44. See if they will let you bet with them on it

:)

Does sound pretty evil and demeaning.

[Madspirit]

59. Thank-you Shadow...n/t

[Jed Dilligan]

43. Mel Gibson

Oh wait, that already happened and he's still Mel Gibson.

[Swamp Rat]

49. LOL!

:D

[Jed Dilligan]

50. Good one swampy

I'd like to see that image next to Michael Richards in a klan hood.

[LisaL]

48. Actually Paris works just fine for me.

[Lorien]

51. Not me. Famous people are just people and deserve the same respect

as anyone. I've worked with plenty of them when I was in the film industry; some were great, others not so much. I don't wish harm on any of them ("do unto others" and all that).

I just wish that the media didn't cater so much to all of those who love seeing famous people "taken down" or "put in their place".

[Madspirit]

61. Thank-you!

I have never been so disgusted with this place. The blood lust is stunning.
Lee

[Maru Kitteh]

53. I shall contribute only this: You are SO transparent.

[incapsulated]

56. Yup

The woman is a drunk driver who TWICE drove with a suspended license and never attended rehab as she was ordered, she thought she was above the law.

I guess if Miss Paris ran down your kid on one of her drunken binges in her Mercedes, RGBolen, you may want to "destroy" her too but not because she is a "celebrity".

[RB TexLa]

60. I don't raise children, so that would be one of the hundred of thousands of things I never have to

worry about.

[incapsulated]

62. Fine

Think about someone else who happens to be on the road with this idiot, drunk, who doesn't care if her license has been suspended, she wants a hamburger and has no respect for the law. You think she will care about your ass in the way?

[RB TexLa]

64. I thought the sentence was a bit harsh but it's within what is allowed

and done for what she did. I really don't have that much concern as to if she is in jail or not in jail.

And what she does or doesn't care about doesn't concern me either, there are plenty of other drunks on the roads. There was a guy in Louisiana last month had his 10th or so DWI and had yet to do much time.

[whoneedstickets]

57. Ann Coulter

I'd love to see her caught with a truckload of the illegal amphetamines she must use to maintain that stick-woman figure.

[Alamom]

58. Billo.........go KO. (eom)

[Ellen Forradalom]

63. I'd say Britney

But she's having her own troubles.

[WillyT]

65. Does Karl Rove Count As A Politician ???

:evilgrin:

[RB TexLa]

67. He can count, the thread was meant to be sillier than it turned out to be

:)

[proud patriot]

66. bush , cheney , rove , gonzo, perle , chalabi

:hi: almost forgot poland ...errrr condi :silly:

[Chovexani]

68. I think you got lost on the way to the Lounge. (n/t)

[RB TexLa]

69. It defiantly has made it longer here than I thought it would

:shrug:

[Justitia]

70. Santa. I mean, who is he to say who's "naughty" or "nice"? Paternalistic RW jerk. -eom

[LeftishBrit]

71. Rupert Murdoch; second choice would be the editor of the Daily Mail
