LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Elizabeth Taylor likes the way Hillary Rodham Clinton thinks and that is worth a check for $100,000.

While the rest of Hollywood starts to choose sides in the 2008 U.S. presidential race, Taylor has already picked the New York Democratic senator as her favorite candidate and written her a $100,000 check for the campaign.

In a statement released on Thursday, the actress said, "I have contributed to Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign because she has a mind of her own and a very strong one at that.

Insert .... "Well SHE was married to Warner at one point!" Remark here.

3. Cats on a Hot Tin Roof!!

4. It's against my religion to tell Elizabeth Taylor what to do.

Elizabeth Taylor is entitled to her presidential campaign choice and I'm not getting in the way.

At the same time, I will maintain my genuine respect for Elizabeth Taylor as an actress and a spectacular soul while choosing another presidential candidate as a first-choice fr 2008.

If anybody on these boards hasn't seen Elizabeth Taylor as Martha in WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF, rent it immediately. She'll knock you out.

6. Wish they all would

get started donating money to democratic candidates.

9. They should collectivly invest in a media infracstructure to help...

7. How did she do that? I thought an individual could only give $2500

[ronnykmarshall]

11. Hey that's right.

Hmmmm?

[Herman Munster]

14. does Liz have a PAC?

Maybe she's going to give it to Emily's List or something.

Liz could also gift $2,100 to 50 of her friends and then have them contribute the money to Hillary individually in their name.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. Don't know ....

she might have one.

[senseandsensibility]

8. I thought there were limits to how much

individuals could contribute to any candidate.

[The Wielding Truth]

13. Me,too. I 'm gonna' do some investagatin'.

[creeksneakers2]

15. The story is in error

Actually, Liz gave $2,100, the legal limit. The $100,000 figure was attributed to a mistake by Taylor's spokesperson.

18. Thanks for the clarification...

[MonkeyFunk]

20. That makes a lot more sense

thanks for finding it.

[The Wielding Truth]

17. Ok.Well, I found this anyhow. In case someone wants to know.

10. On February 10th, Obama will pocket millions.

The triumvirate has decided to throw a glitzy fundraiser: Spielberg, Geffen and Katzenberg. That's also the day Senator Obama will formally announce his presidential intentions. That is before Oprah weighs in too. So yep, Hillary's 100,000 for Hollywood's old guard is good.

Since I am a Clark fan I am enjoying the fact that money is being raised and Hillary has to compete in areas for it that once she thought were all hers... :rofl:

[AtomicKitten]

21. I agree.

I am thrilled that Obama is giving HRC a run for her money (double entendre intended). At the very least, real competition will hone better candidates.

Gobama.

[Pithy Cherub]

22. Young Hollywood

Matt Damon and others are interested in oops I meant Obama. New money not available to Hillary will come out for Obama too. Clooney is an Obama fan.

And of course, I'd go with Clarkama myself. ;)

12. I've always liked Elizabeth Taylor and while she doesn't influence the way I'll vote

she is right about Hillary who does have a mind of her own and a strong one.

[Alamom]

23. Many, many, many women agree with Liz. n/t

[Nedsdag]

24. That's devastating!

My mother's a HUGE Elizabeth Taylor fan; however, she HATES Hillary!

I guess she'll burn all of her old scrapbooks now!
