She Didn't Care About 9/11 and Two Wars, But Health Care Reform Has Her "Ticked Off"

And that tells me everything I need to know about the latest anti-health care protester celebrity. Lawrence O'Donnell was subbing in for Chris Matthews, and he asked the young lady about the root of her concern (not wanting to become a socialist country), whether she supported medicare (she hedged, then said no, then said there are many programs that should go) how she organizes her life (she lets her husband take care of most of the financial stuff) and why she didn't get involved in politics say, 8 years ago (hence the title).

I do sympathize with her on one point: as careful as O'Donnell was in his questions, I think he should have had her name programs she didn't like on her own instead of asking her specifically about Medicare. It's clear from the clip below that (1) she takes what she sees on TV as gospel (2) politics isn't really an interest for her and (3) she doesn't really understand what Medicare is or how it's funded.


Then again...


UPDATE: This comment on C&L's POV takes the cake.

UBER-UPDATE: Looks like Katy Kaboom is a fake. Should have known.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
