Hollywood Halfwits

Found a FANTASTIC site cataloging some of the anti-war / anti-Bush idiocy arising out of Hollywood -- HollywoodHalfwits.com

Critical artistes like Sheryl Crow have dedicated pages cataloging their quotes (in her case, the "Karma" quote against Iraq coupled with her patriotic quote back when we were fighting Bill Clinton's wars)

Richard Gere, Janeane "It wasn't hip to protest Clinton" Garafolo, Belafonte, and Martin Sheen are also dutifully represented.

Complimenting the Halfwits, the site catalogs the "Heroes".   I know he ain't a policy expert but, there's something I really like about this quote from Kid Rock:

At a pre-Grammy party, Kid answered a reporter's question about the War in Iraq, and made it clear that he isn't part of the music industry's anti-war faction. "Why is everybody trying to stop the war? George Bush ain't been saying, 'You all, make sh*#%y records.' Politicians and music don't mix. It's like whiskey and wine.  We ought to stay out of it."

Kid knows he's no policy wonk or geo-political strategist, but couldn't resist adding, "We got to kill that mother-f@cker Saddam," he says. "Slit his throat. Kill him and the guy in North Korea."

Asked about innocent Iraqi civilians casualties, Kid answered pragmatically, "Yeah. But [Bush] is doing the right thing. You got money; you sit around talking about peace. People who don't have money need some help."
