. . .liars. Geffen said, "Everybody in politics lies, but THEY do it with such ease, it's troubling." Geffen is backing Obama with money and influence, too, so this matters. In addition, the Obama and Clinton camps fired a few shots at each other over this--but Clinton is acting like she is VERY worried about Obama.

man who cares what that drama queen says.

Is he still married to Keanau Reeves?

2/22/2007 3:50:56 AM

maybe Sonic Youth will play the after election party.

2/22/2007 9:05:30 AM

^^ People that want Hillary to win the election should care. Geffen has major money and influence; a lot of Hollywood seems to be backing Obama now--and Geffen has the power to have influenced them; and this dust-up has revealed some things about Hillary.

Jesus F Christ. Like I give a fuck who Hollywood backs. Fuck Hollywood.

2/22/2007 11:06:26 AM

2/22/2007 1:15:02 PM

I actually saw a breakdown on tv last night saying that 69% of hollywood donations go to democrats and 31% to republicans.

Pointless info, but you're welcome.

2/22/2007 4:00:30 PM

bring me the head of David Geffen

2/22/2007 6:56:31 PM

I find it laughable that the same people who are more than likely complaining about money corrupting the system--"We need campaign finance reform!"--are now saying big money from some of the richest people in America is inconsequential.

^^ But it's not pointless. Either money--and lots of it--matters in campaigns or it doesn't. Some here are trying to have it both ways.

As much fun as it is watching the two top liberals fighting over their Hollywood donors, Geffen better watch out or he may end up committing suicide in the park.

2/22/2007 10:38:24 PM

Somehow, I'm rooting for Obama, even though I disagree with him on everything.

2/22/2007 10:52:32 PM

He better watch out or a war might get started

Hey look, I can be an idiot too. Hi EarthDogg

2/22/2007 11:37:55 PM

Aha, Hillary's team has asked Obama to return Geffen's money and distance himself from him.

Obama's team refused both demands.

2/23/2007 12:30:59 AM

"Hello, I'm legendary hollywood star Alec Baldwin. I'd like to address my fellow stars. If you have given any money to Obama's campaign, please ask for it back. I'd also like you to distance yourself from them as well.

We superstars need to send a united message to fans that Hillary is our man.

I'm surprised the ratio was that even. There must be a lot of closet Republicans in Hollywood.

Britney Spears used to be a vocal supporter of bush

2/23/2007 9:49:26 AM

her vocal chords would have supported clinton nicely though.

Geffen's a tool (although Obama is better than Clinton imo)

When Garth Brooks supports one Republican candidate over another, I'll try and give enough of a crap to make a thread on it.

Yeah, money doesn't matter at all in campaigns--just ask Tom Vilsack (D), the former Iowa governor.

Quote :

"'It is money and only money that is the reason we are leaving today,' Vilsack told reporters at a news conference, later adding, 'We have a debt were going to have to work our way through.'"
