Drew Rules
I’ve liked Drew Carey ever since I saw him interviewed at the Republican National Convention in 2000. He denied that he was a Republican, indicating that he wasn’t all that political and hadn’t really thought about it much. Then he said something like, “I guess I’m for the person who will let me keep as much of my money as possible.”
He has the only sitcom that I know of that has poked fun at liberals (albeit rarely). Last week’s show was one of those times.
He and girlfriend Kelly have just had sex and Kelly turns on the TV, and a political talk show is on:
- Kelly: Oh — I hate this guy.
- Drew: Come-on, this guy’s great.
- Kelly: Uh! No, he’s not Drew. He’s a lying right-wing bully.
- Drew: Well, I think he’s a great American who likes to stick it to liberal, tax-happy spendacrats.
- Kelly: Oh, get this. Look at the liberal he put on his program for “balance”. (Shot of goofy looking guy with bad teeth, bad hair, crooked ugly tie.) He’s a shaky little man with a wandering eye. I agree with him and even I can’t look at him.
- Drew: Well, maybe God made him ugly because he won’t let children pray in schools.
- (Conservative on program begins talking.)
- Kelly: Oh, I do not believe him. If it was up to him everybody would own a gun.
- Drew: Well, only half the people own guns now. That’s not working out too well, is it?
- Kelly: That doesn’t make any sense. You should have blood back in that brain by now.
- Drew: Well, what’s your excuse. Your blood doesn’t go anywhere. Does it?
- Kelly: Whoa. Just how into guns are you?
- Drew: Well, I keep one in the nightstand next to my scissors.
- Kelly: Well, is that for really tough bras?
- Drew: No. That’s in case some crackhead the ACLU let off on a technicality tries to come in here and kill you.
- Kelly: Well, that gun is three times more likely to be used on you, Drew. Especially if you don’t shut up.
- Drew: Oh, really. Are you going to shoot me? You know, to win the argument you have to kinda stay on your side of it.
- Kelly: I really do not believe you!
- Well, believe it. Wow. You know, we’re going to be having sex in about 27 more minutes so you’d better start calming down.
“Liberal, tax-happy spendacrats.” How funny is that?
Alice Cooper Cries “Treason”
Alice Cooper is sick and tired of hearing about celebrities mouthing off about politics:
In the eyes of Alice Cooper, all the rock stars campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry are guilty of one thing: treason. The shock-rock legend, a staunch Republican who attends NBA games in Phoenix with Arizona Senator John McCain, was disgusted when he learned of plans by Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, R.E.M. and other bands to hold a series of concerts aimed at unseating U.S. President George W. Bush.“To me, that’s treason. I call it treason against rock ‘n’ roll because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics,” says the 56-year-old Cooper, who begins a 15-city Canadian tour on Aug. 20 in Thunder Bay, Ont.
“When I was a kid and my parents started talking about politics, I’d run to my room and put on the Rolling Stones as loud as I could. So when I see all these rock stars up there talking politics, it makes me sick.
“If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we’re morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.”
Despite his strong insistence that rock has no place in politics, Cooper is one of just a handful of high-profile musicians who’ve proclaimed support for Bush. The list of pop-culture Republicans includes Britney Spears, Toby Keith and Ted Nugent, the latter being one of Cooper’s old buddies from his early days in Detroit.
Now there’s a man that talks sense!
On a personal note, I attended one of Cooper’s concerts during his Welcome to my Nightmare tour. It was as choreographed as a Broadway musical. The man knows show business and is a consummate showman because of it. That concert is an experience that I will never forget.
Supermodel for Bush
According to Clear Channel News, supermodel/actress Rachel Hunter (now 35) is a big Bush supporter. Rachel is from New Zealand and cannot vote in the election, but says she would vote for Bush:
He has done what needed to be done because if Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden had their way, none of us would be around in 10 years.Clinton had a lot of tea parties with celebrities, but [right after] his term, somebody flew two planes into the Twin Towers. What do you want – somebody who keeps your children safe or somebody who throws nice tea parties?
