Good for her.

1. Jessica Simpson that is...

Here's some text in case anybody can't access that site

JESSICA SIMPSON wants to know where missing footage of her and husband NICK LACHEY's harrowing trip to Iraq got to - because she thinks Americans would like to see just how bad conditions are there.

The pop singers-turned-reality TV couple travelled to the war-torn nation to visit US troops as part of a recent ABC TV variety special, and they were both left shellshocked by what they saw.

But all the controversial moments and harrowing footage of the trip didn't appear in the fun-filled TV show.

Simpson says, "It was unbelievable. They didn't show a lot of what really went on with the enemy attacks and the shelling. There was so much stuff that went on and somehow the tapes got mysteriously misplaced.

9. Going to Iraq to film a 'fun-filled TV show'

Yep. It's high on the list of fun-filled destinations.

Agh - my head. my head.

2. Thank your hero Smirk, Jess

he's the one who runs the media.

8. Actually...

Harris Inc. controls all news into and out of Iraq.Kathren Harris's company recieved a 16 mill.contract about 2 yrs. ago to handle this disinformation.

[Doctor_J]

22. And you don't think Katherine Harris's company

does what the WH wants?

I have some property in Baghdad you might want to buy.

[bushisanidiot]

3. Who is she asking this to? The producers of the show?

I wonder if the footage was confiscated by the military..

i'm surprised "chicken of the sea" gives a shit, but I'm glad she is at least asking the question. good for her.

'course, she'll buy the excuse hook, line and sinker.. :P

[Justitia]

4. Well, Duh! You campaigned for the Monkey, bit late to be shocked

now isn't it???

Golly Gee, things are really bad in Iraq!
What a revelation!

And who would've thunk it that our gov't might not share that with it's citizens - why that's UnAmerican - ain't it?

:dunce:

[wicket]

5. I think the recent attacks on her from the "Christian" Right...

...has opened her eyes a bit to what these people really are.

[bspence]

6. She's so hot

Have you seen her latest video? For the Dukes of Hazzard? I can't believe the right wingers got so mad at Janet's boob, but don't care about that video. It's amazing.

I liked it, but I'm all for free speech and hot girls on TV. :)

10. Anyone who appears at the RNC gets a pass

11. They have been attacking her for that video.

Interesting that the Iraq footage "went missing". Now's her chance to prove she's not as dumb as she's been portrayed.

I wonder if the right wing radio hosts who went over there will have a similar epiphany? Probably not.

[Arkansas Granny]

16. Speaking of the right wing radio hosts

has anyone heard anything on that? I've tried searching, but I can't find any of that "good news" that they were going to be reporting.

[tblue37]

19. Yeah--they are saying it's great over there.

They hid out in the Green zone, of course. This is from http://www.jameswolcott.com

Michael Graham, a rightwing radio host who has just returned with his fellow full mooners from the "Truth Tour" of Iraq, brought home the gospel he had heard in that troubled land to the readers of National Review Online.

"Again and again, from 'white-collar' soldiers working in the relative safety of Camp Victory at the Baghdad airport to the "real" soldiers patrolling Route Irish (a.k.a the 'Highway of Death'), I heard that America and their Iraqi-army allies are winning the war against the insurgents. I was told again and again by the soldiers themselves that their (our) cause is just, the strategy is working, and the enemy they fight represents evil itself.

"In other words, I heard things seldom heard on CBS or read in the pages of the New York Times."

7. Wow, if Jessica realized all the bad shit by going to Iraq

maybe we should send all the republicans over for a little show.

[rocktivity]

12. Is she that naive or that stupid?

Simpson says, "It was unbelievable. They didn't show a lot of what really went on with the enemy attacks and the shelling. There was so much stuff that went on and somehow the tapes got mysteriously misplaced..."

Is she serious? She expected to see that footage on HER "entertaining the boys" show? And is she under some delusion that SHE owns that footage?

:rofl:

That scene from Apocalypse Now when the playboy bunny's are dancing at the USO show and the soldiers rush the stage.

24. it's hard to believe that's the worst crime going on in Florida.

Although one good thing about global warming is that gator-filled cesspool will sink into the ocean.

18. Wait 'till she sees what happens to her for speaking of this.

She is is for a world of hurt. (To her career, of course. I don't mean literal hurt.)

I'm sorry for her, but if it takes something like this to open her eyes, then so be it.

[proud patriot]

20. Down the memory hole is the answer Jessica

like many things the Government elites don't
want the American people to see your missing
footage is down the memory hole .

[Sven77]

23. what a hoar for the military

well at least she's giving the peace sign, i hope she finds the video footage.

25. [ABC/USO] Show was ‘charade,’ ‘phony’

http://www.estripes.com/article.asp?section=125&article=28859

I, like everyone else I spoke with who went to the Nick and Jessica show, felt used.

Unlike all the other United Service Organizations shows where the stars are there to entertain the troops and to boost morale, this show was not created for us. It was created to give the ABC television network ratings and to make a few bucks off of us.

The whole show was planned and scripted. Before and throughout the entire show, we were even coached and briefed on how to behave, when to applaud, and what to say. They even had us chant “ABC.”

Everything about it was a charade. It was so phony that the producers had planned to do a surprise reunion between a husband and wife (the husband had been deployed for a long time); however, the husband’s plane did not arrive on time. Instead, they had the woman go on stage and Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson said their scripts and the woman pretended that her husband just walked in and she ran toward him excitedly. The actual reunion was to take place at a later time and will be edited into the show.

I was so embarrassed to even be a part of this masquerade. They had to stop and do retakes over and over. People stood for five to six hours for the entire ordeal. A lot of people left because they were disgusted by the whole thing and those who stayed were waiting for the promised surprise guest that never came. Maybe the surprise guest will also be edited into the show to make it look like he or she was there.

26. Randi Rhodes considers this good news

She's been saying that the only way the anti-war movement will get mainstream attention is if Jennifer Anniston or Angelina Jolie tattoos "BUSH SUCKS" on their bellies. If we can radicalize Jessica, Randi just might get her wish!

27. Angelina would do it

She's like that.
