Milk Political Foibles Sean Penn

THE ADVOCATE DOESN’T LIKE SEAN PENN’S DICTATOR FRIENDS

Sean Penn (above with Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez) has been enjoying popularity with the gay press because of his sensitive movie “Milk” in which he plays gay activist Harvey Milk. But the biggest gay publication of all – The Advocate – has come out AGAINST Sean now! They can’t reconcile the fact that Sean openly admires Hugo Chavez and Raul Castro – dictators noted for persecution of gays (and others.) Fidel and Raul Castro put gays in concentration camps! The advocate points out that Sean Penn’s idea of political heroes completely conflicts with the free-speech message of his movie “Milk.” Good observation.

SARAH PALIN: A GIANT STEP FOR WOMANKIND

Sarah Palin’s name was announced as John McCain’s running mate, we sense a deliriously heightened air of political excitement and the feeling that democrats are scrambling to respond to this news carefully. It is HUGELY gratifying to finally have a female candidate, but we do wish she were more moderate – especially socially. Whether she’s the perfect candidate or not, she IS a woman and she represents a long overdue step toward “equality” that American women have been denied for so long. Don’t underestimate this political maneuver- it is a giant step for womankind.

Political Foibles Sean Penn

WOULD YOU TAKE ADVICE FROM SEAN PENN?

Last week the Screen Actors Guild sent out ballots to members asking them to vote for or against an actor’s strike. Days later every member got a phone call with a recorded message from -of all people- Sean Penn encouraging members to vote in favor of the strike, no matter what their current economic situation. The call was enough to make this guild member seize her ballot, vote for NO strike, and mail it immediately. Maybe he’s not the right person to be attempting to sway votes.

Elvis Political Foibles

PASS THE FRIED PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA SANDWICHES

Here’s a world leader we can sink our teeth into. Of course we’re talking about Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, seen here with our President Bush, at Graceland, admiring Elvis’ Jungle Room. Koizumi, an Elvis fanatic, was permitted to try on a pair of Elvis’ OWN shades, and burst into song. The Prime Minister had a statue -not of himself but of his idol Elvis – erected in the Harajuku district in Tokyo. We’d love to get our hands on the limited edition CD of Elvis songs that Koizumi released in 2001. Anybody know where we can find one?

Callgirls Political Foibles

STRUMPET RUNS AMOK

This story is just too funny not to tell. This weekend a very exclusive fund raising dinner for 35 was held at a Brentwood home for Republican Lynn Swann who’s running for governor of Pennsylvania. (He’s the former football star.) The host of this ultra pricey dinner is a close friend of our president and he’s divorced, so he ordered up a call girl to be his date. The party was seated at dinner when the Asian “escort” arrived and she sat down and started licking the hosts ear! The host told her to knock it off and shortly after, she slid under the table and started thrashing about and kicking and screaming incoherantly having some sort of convulsive drug induced fit! Diners leaped up from their chairs and she pulled the tablecloth off and crashing dishes flew everywhere. 911 was called and tablemates tried to calm her by now her kicking and writhing revealed she wore no underpants, was covered with purple bruises, and she was foaming at the mouth. Horrified diners tried not to look as paramedics carted her off. The host was nonplussed as the table was being reset he simply told the shaken waiter ” I had the salmon.” The dinner raised a million dollars for Swann.
