Jack Nicholson: Clinton Is 'Masterful'

[ruggerson]

I knew there was a reason I always liked Nicholson. :)

In a surprise announcement on this morning’s Rick Dees show, Oscar-winning actor Jack Nicholson endorsed Hillary Clinton for president.
“Mrs. Clinton has been involved in issues, everything from health care, which we know and prison reform and helping the military, speaking for women and speaking for Americans,” Nicholson said.

“I’m thrilled to have Jack’s support,” Hillary said. “I’m a big fan and a friend of Jack’s. Having us on the show this morning gives me a chance to thank him.”

From Dees' Web site:

"I wanted to, as a performer, see how Sen Clinton dealt with the glee that they (her opponents) exhibited in their desire to bury her candidacy," said Nicholson. “I must tell you: when I saw her sit down, and she said she ‘found her voice in New Hampshire’, that was it for me. She handled that next debate as the masterful person that she is. She's the one to get the job done that needs to be done."

Edited for misspelling.

She seems like the real deal.

9. Obama Cant Handle The Truth

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi:


We use words like honor, code,
loyalty...we use these words as the
backbone to a life spent defending
something. Obama uses 'em as a punchline.
(beat)
I have neither the time nor the
inclination to explain myself to a candidate who
rises and sleeps under the blanket of the
very freedom I provide, then questions the
manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer
you just said thank you and went on your
way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a
ballot and vote. Either way, I
don't give a damn who you think you're
voting for.

10. Oh now the Hillarites LOVE actors! ROFL!

Damn...havent they just launched thirty threads about how stupid and useless actors endorsements are (when they go for Obama)?

You guys are so EASY! Can you imagine how you are going to be eating ground beef by the rethugs in the GE?

13. That link might be the short clip there is a longer interview

and he goes into length about why he is supporting Clinton there too.

[mtnsnake]

12. Awesome! haha, I'll bet all the freepers on DU will be boycotting his next movie

although most of them probably don't even know who he is without googling it.

[smalll]

16. lol - googling it on their "cells" no doubt.

Or their iPods even.

[MonkeyFunk]

15. I just adore Nicholson

and his endorsement tickled me more than any other.

[Straight Shooter]

18. I did not know she was involved in prison reform.

I don't know the specifics of it because "reform" is an ambiguous word, but kudos to her for that. :thumbsup:

Nicholson, I'll be the heretic on this thread and admit he kind of leaves me cold, but I do appreciate his talent. I'm more of a George Clooney kind of gal. And I really appreciate HIS talent.

19. Nicholson was brilliant in 'The Departed'....

his endorsement of Hillary should help to keep the cash flowing through Hollywood. :yoiks:

[mrmx9]

20. Old and past it and with an eye for the ladies - no wonder he supports Clinton

[AntiFascist]

22. Wow, Nicholson is working hard for Hillary...

I just received a pre-recorded call from him. "Vote for her...and buy yourself something niiice!"

21. Didn't Herman say she kills with older white guys?

[thevoiceofreason]

23. I thought she was looking like a character he played
