Jessica Simpson Snubs Bush
Singer-Actress Fears Visit Would Hurt Her Favorite Charity

By Steve Gorman, Reuters

LOS ANGELES (March 15) - Concerned about politicizing her favorite charity, singer-actress Jessica Simpson Wednesday turned down a invitation to meet with President Bush, a snub that left Republicans dismayed.

The apparent final word that Simpson would be a no-show at a major Republican fund-raiser with Bush and congressional leaders Thursday night came after a day of conflicting reports from her camp and organizers of the event.

The blond star of the film "The Dukes of Hazzard" still plans to visit Washington Thursday to lobby members of Congress on behalf of Operation Smile, a non-profit venture offering free plastic surgery for disadvantaged children overseas with facial deformities.

People close to Simpson said she declined a request to appear that same evening at the gala fund-raiser of the National Republican Congressional Committee -- even after she was offered some private face time with Bush -- because Operation Smile is a non-partisan group.

"It just feels wrong," one Simpson insider told Reuters Wednesday

7. Good for you kiraboo. Cool screen name btw - eom

16. my thoughts exactly

always thought she was a talentless bimbo but I give her credit for not allowing herself to be used by the Freepers.

8. She's a Republican.

Her refusal to appear at this fund raiser does not mean she doesn't support Bush or his policies. It simply means that she doesn't want to politicize her support for Operation Smile . She intends to meet with him, just not at a fund raiser.

Let's not lavish too much praise on this republican air-head.

11. Hey, it's a very public diss of bush - take what you can get - nt

13. I agree, I like it, but she's still a neo-con enabler nt.

9. Good for her...

Still hate the fact that she is a totally manufactured, talent-challenged, bimbo. But I'm happy to give credit where it is due.

17. Thanks. 2 retired racers, the boy in the pic is 6 and I have a camera shy

10. Her 'handlers' see the writing on the wall; toast, anyone? nt

14. Compare this gesture to Britney Spears in her fleeting appearance in

Fahrenheit 9/11. Spears is being interviewed and says we should “support our president whatever he does” because “we have to trust our leaders”.

Call it a calculated career move or integrity, it still comes out the same: Jessica is not going to be used to hype * and his war criminal cronies.

15. Wow...

Dumb-ass did something intelligent for once.

I can let off despising her just a little bit now.
