Gibson To Stop Supporting Bush?
http://www.imdb.com/PeopleNews/#7

The Passion Of The Christ movie maker Mel Gibson is considering ditching his support for American President George W Bush, after questioning his handling of the Iraq War. The star - who was born in America, but raised in Australia - is a staunch Republican, but admits he now has "doubts" about President Bush, in the build up to November's presidential election. Gibson says, "It's all to do with these weapons of mass destruction that we can't seem to find, and why did we go over there?" He maintained Bush had done much "good" during his office, but conceded he has been "having my doubts of late". He is by no means the first Hollywood star to call into question America's involvement in Iraq. Actors Dustin Hoffman, Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon and director Martin Scorsese have all spoken out against the conflict.


WOW, there is a God!

4. That's what is so frightening - and what I'm digging too
These religious nuts are starting to think Gibson is the second coming of at least John the Baptist (JTP came before Jesus to let the people know that Jesus was coming).

2. Gotta luv the irony of Martin Sheen !

Maybe ALL the "Presidents" like Mike Douglas and so on could do a "blitz" ?

Now there's a good topic for a poll

- "Who was your favorite actor who played the President?"

of course you'd have to know all the actors names, and I'm not much on that -

Remember the movie "Dave" ?

- where the "acting" president did a better job than the REAL President

hmmmmmm
