The crux of this entire thread was celebrities, and the merit that should be given to their opinions. Hilary has had an active role in the positions her husband held, and whether you like her or not, she knows politics. She isn't Johnny Depp, she isn't Sonny Bono, she is a democratically elected official for the people of NYS. It's her JOB to speak up against executive policies, and any further comparisons to people like Bono or Depp should just be dismissed. Quote:

Face it, the only reason she got as far as she has is because she latched onto the penis that stumbled its way into the White House. |

Geggy | Depp probably gets his opinion from Hunter Thompson. 'America is a dumb puppy' is something Thompson would say, afterall they are close friends. | |||||||||||

And as for her qualifications, she has been the wife of a governor and a president (better credentials than Elizabeth Dole for one), she is/was an attorney, and is fairly well versed in politics and the law (whether or not you agree with her politics, or her interpretive skills). Again, no comparison between her and Depp, OR Sonny Bono. And back to her not being from the state, I'm fairly certain that before she ran she had a team of experts, pollsters, and fellow elected officials bring her up to speed on NY politics and issues. She had to do this, otherwise she might not have won, particularly the typically conservative votes she pulled in the North Country. I'm willing to bet that she knew just as much, perhaps even more, than that jackass from Long Island Rick Lazio. New York is a perty big state, and I'm willing to bet the needs of his constituency differed quite greatly from those in my home county of Orange, and even greater from those in places such as Plattsburgh, Saratoga, and Macena. |

Immortal Goat | Yeah, but he ALSO married Cher, so I don't see why people thought he was smart enough to be a congressman. | |||||||||||

Its not her motivations( well a little) it is her qualifications. SHE ISN'T EVEN FROM THE GODDAMNED STATE SHE CLAIMS TO REPRESENT! Sonny Bono was at least from the Palm Springs area. |

Hillary was the president's wife. ENOUGH with the whole "clebrities, or er, people from past administrations shouldn't talk...ever." If that were the case, I'd be the first to gag Elizabeth Dole.... Glowbelly is right. She is a United States Senator. This is her job, regardless of her own motivations. There is a big difference between her and Johnny Depp. |

El Blanco | And besides, she became a Senator because she was famous, not because she actually did anything. | |||||||||||

My point was that I don't remember any persons from previous administrations bad mouthing current administrations. Think about it. Do you? It's just in poor taste especially as it was an agreement that was or was not made THEN. If she has a problem with what is CURRENTLY happening to the program, then she should address THOSE issues and not dig up old bones. |

i wasn't aware that hillary clinton was a "celebrity." it was my understanding that she is a senator, and the former first lady of the united states of america. i'm thinking that as a SENATOR, it's part of her job to speak up for/against the current administration. i could be wrong though. |

I love how she keeps blowing up over the supposed cover ups and such. Hey, Hil, remember Whitewater? Vince Foster ring a bell? |

Other celebrities that need to STFU or "From The Takes One To Know One" Files: Hillary Clinton accusing Bush of breaking promises (i.e. LYING) to keep AmeriCorps going. Since when do former presidential families bad mouth current administrations? I'm not a Bush lover but come on Billary, get some class! |

Actor Johnny Depp Disavows Anti-American Quotes LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Denying any anti-American sentiment on his part, actor Johnny Depp (news) said on Thursday that quotes attributed to him as likening the United States to a "dumb puppy" were inaccurate and taken out of context. "I am an American. I love my country and have great hopes for it," Depp said in a statement released by his Los Angeles-based publicist. "It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful." Depp, currently starring in the swashbuckling film "Pirates of the Caribbean," issued the statement a day after the German news magazine Stern published an interview in which he ridiculed Washington's confrontation with France, where he lives, over the U.S. war in Iraq (news - web sites). The magazine quoted the actor as saying "America is ... like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive." He was further quoted as saying he wanted his children to "see America as ... a broken toy" that they should explore, get the feel of, then "get out." Explaining his comments a day later, Depp he had been using a metaphor that was taken "radically out of context," adding, "There was no anti-American sentiment." "What I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation," he said. "My deepest apologies to those who were offended, affected, or hurt by this insanely twisted deformation of my words and intent." His spokeswoman added that the Kentucky-born Depp, 40, lives in the south of France with his family because his wife, actress-singer Vanessa Paradis (news), is French. |

As soon as they enter politics, all celebrities must take a mandatory ski trip. Anyway, ya, Depp has an opinion and can say what he thinks( he might want to try the last part before he speaks next time), but, so can I. If I think he is full of shit, not only will I say so, I'm gonna back it up. Also, I can't believe I missed this: He wants to live in France because it is safer for his kids? "Hi, Johnny? This is Roman Polanski. I was wondering if you needed a babysitter tonight." |
