LOS ANGELES — Republican Rudy Giuliani once derided Hollywood in his Senate bid against Hillary Rodham Clinton. Today, as he pursues the presidency, he's collecting checks from actors Adam Sandler and Kelsey Grammer, and Paramount studio chief Brad Grey.

The entertainment industry has always been a wealth of cash for political candidates _ a whopping $27.5 million in the 2004 election cycle _ and Democrats traditionally have been the top draw. In the last election, $7 out of every $10 from the industry went to Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Yet, the latest campaign finance reports show Republicans making some inroads, not only with the handful of more conservative stars but also the generous Hollywood players hedging their bets.

Of the GOP candidates, Giuliani, the former New York city mayor, counted several big and small screen donors as well as producers and studio executives.

Sandler, who shares a love of the New York Yankees with Giuliani and tapped him for a cameo in his 2003 movie "Anger Management," contributed $2,100. "Frasier" star Grammer and his wife donated $6,900. Mark Vahradian, who produced "Annapolis" for Paramount, gave $2,100. Writer-producer Lionel Chetwynd, an Oscar nominee for co-writing 1974's "The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz," gave more than $4,200....

1. This only compounds my dislike for Sandler

I never thought he was funny on SNL, likewise with his movies.

[Carolina]

5. ditto

never did like him anyway.

2. Shame that he's off my movie list then. More money than sense comes to mind.

3. one more reason not to like Sandler

other than that his movies suck....

[BurtWorm]

4. Never trust a comedian who laughs at his own jokes.

:patriot:

6. Not a bill maher fan Im guessing.

8. Not a David Spade fan.

Maher can control himself most of the time, and when he does laugh he seems to be enjoying the joke. Spade and Sandler are way too pleased with their own bad selves for my taste. Their political beliefs have nothing to do with my disliking them.

I don't know why you brought the word "boycott" into the discussion. I never said anything about a boycott.

[MadBadger]

10. Sorry, I probably should have responded to the other person who mentioned boycotting, not you.

7. I always detested GRAMMER &, yup, I was correcto-mundo!!1 n/t

11. Time to dig up Kelsey's mug shot

12. But I love Sideshow Bob

quit watching Frasier, though, when I found out what a wingnut Grammer is.
I know I'm petty...but I just can't enjoy myself once I find out a performer is a wingnut. Just ruins it for me. I know many people work past that and just relax and have a good time, regardless.

9. Newsflash! Guiliani in bed with Hollywood Elite!
