From Bardot to Lohan: Hollywood’s Women Drench Sarah Palin in Bile

When I asked actor Patrick Wilson for his take on Sarah Palin, he told me "I can't go there." Fortunately, Tim Robbins didn't feel quite so restrained. With all the backlash Mrs. Palin has faced, it's gotta hit hardest coming from her Hollywood idols. Okay fine -- they're my Hollywood idols, but it can't be easy for her teenage daughters to hear that mommy terrifies Matt Damon. But Damon is one of few male celebrities to speak up against Palin, maybe because most are afraid of being branded as sexist. For the girls, it's open season, and Palin is the moose in their cross-hairs. Here's a run-through of some of the more potent estrogen-fueled Hollywood reactions to America's newest "It" girl.
● Just a few days ago, Madonna had some harsh words for the former beauty queen at her New York concert. She also revealed Palin's middle name to the world. Apparently it's "Fucking."
● Legendary screen sexbomb and current animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot wrote a scathing letter directly to Mrs. Palin, calling her "a disgrace to women" and more dangerous than a pit bull. Without lipstick, of course.
● The moment Palin announced she doesn’t support gay and lesbian marriage, you just knew Lindsay Lohan had to chime in, asking the question on her MySpace blog, “Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?” She forgot an apostrophe.
● Democratic Queen Bee Barbara Streisand (sorry, Hilary) chose to speak directly to John McCain, who some think chose Mrs. Palin to lure Clinton democrats. “We are not that stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” she wrote on her blog. If 19 exclamation marks don’t convince you, nothing will.
● Whoopi Goldberg wrote an article called ”Sarah Palin Is a Very Dangerous Woman.” And this is pre-hydrogen bomb access.
● Sandra Bernhard called her a ”goy whore.”
● Brooke Hogan isn’t quite sure who Sarah Palin is, but she encourages young people to vote, whether it be for President or for Vice President. She then said that she’s voting for God. Sooo, George Clooney?
● Maybe VP should stand for Vomit Producer. When TMZ asked Rose McGowan her thoughts on the Alaskan governor, she paused, then with a cringe said, “I’m sorry, that was vomit in my mouth.”
● Anne Hathaway, Sigourney Weaver, Sheryl Crow, and Cheryl Hines all took separate shots at Palin during the Elle Women in Hollywood awards.
● Back in early September, before Palin-bashing was quite so popular, Eva Mendes said we need to give her “the chance to have a fair say.” Chance given.
● On The View, Charlize Theron joked that she has seven kids. When Joy Behar asked if they live in Alaska, she said “yes, in a cave. And they can see Russia.” Elizabeth Hasselbeck tried not to smile.
● Cybill Shepherd inaccurately said that Palin opposes the right to birth control, but said that her being president ”is one of the most frightening things I could ever conceive of.” I felt the exact same way about my Halloween costume circa 2003.
● Pamela Anderson wants Sarah Palin to suck it. I feel the exact same way, but not about Sarah Palin.
● Didn’t Tina Fey do something?

Well, if the above mentioned glitteri find great disgust in Palin, that’s good enough for me . . . I’ll support her. Most of the people you mention here don’t have enough sense to not pi**s-off 40% of the people that make their pay checks (those on the country that happen to like her) so how can we take their view seriously? We can’t.

When you describe Palin as the it girl, you forgot the “Sh-”
