<snip>WOODRUFF: By the way, if you look closely through the candidate's latest filings with the federal election commission, some celebrity names jump out at you. Among those we found, actress Gwyneth Paltrow has donated $1,000 to John Kerry's campaign. The creator of "The Simpsons," Matt Groenig, gave Kerry the maximum contribution of $2,000.

If you think politics has some elements of soap opera, you might not be surprised to learn that "Days of our Lives" star Deidre hall gave one grand to Kerry.

And search as we might, the only celebrity we could find who gave money to the Bush-Cheney campaign in February was former Nixon speechwriter turned actor Ben Stein, who gave $100. By the way, stein also gave $500 to independent candidate Ralph Nader.

The Bush campaign has a money saving advantage over the Kerry camp. It's called incumbency. Here's how the perk-filled process works.

1. We have confirmation? Matt Groening's a Democrat?

Man, Murdoch's gonna be pissed.

2. So Stein gave to BOTH chimp and Nader

anything to defeat the Democrats apparently, shows how they think. :argh: I knew that Deidra Hall was a Democrat because she spoke at a rally a few years back for Debra Bowan a Democrat in my area, glad she is still supporting the good guys.

3. So now we know just who "wins Ben Stein's money."

Like it's a surprise, a right-winger giving to Nader. May I just say, "bollocks."

4. Hey I can't...

blame him. It's a two pronge attack and if I were a right wing thug (ewww *shivers at the thought*), I'd give the max to both Bush and Nader.
