OlderRush Limbaugh Praises Angelina Jolie
Republican bullhorn Rush Limbaugh praised Angelina Jolie yesterday on his radio show, saying she makes more sense than the Democrats when it comes down to the issue of Iraq.
Here’s what Rush, 57, had to say about Angie:
“Everybody today is raving about a piece in the Washington Post by Angelina Jolie in which she just got back from Iraq. She says, ‘We have finally reached a point where humanitarian assistance, from us and others, can have an impact.’ Her point is to stay, help the Iraqis, especially those who are out of the country, want to come back home, the time is right now, and that the surge is working. Now, if you read the piece by Angelina Jolie today in the Washington Post, you will conclude that she is deeper and in ways more specific than Obama about this if you read the whole article. She makes more sense than Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama or anybody on the Democrat side about this. It’s stunning. I’ve had some people, ‘Rush, you realize, she didn’t write it.’ I don’t know that she didn’t write it. I’m not going to assume she didn’t write it… That’s another thing, that’s a good point, too, it’s pretty brave of her to do this, given Hollywood and so forth. But she’s big enough to withstand it, and it sort of makes me appreciate this Brad Pitt guy a little more. He’s gone after substance here, is all I’m saying. This really is a good piece.”

Humanitarian Initiative
Obama believes that America has a moral and security responsibility to confront Iraq’s humanitarian crisis — two million Iraqis are refugees; two million more are displaced inside their own country. Obama will form an international working group to address this crisis. He will provide at least $2 billion to expand services to Iraqi refugees in neighboring countries, and ensure that Iraqis inside their own country can find a safe-haven.
As our forces redeploy out of Iraq, Hillary would also organize a multi-billion dollar international effort — funded by a wide range of donor states — under the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to address the needs of Iraqi refugees. And as we replace military force with diplomacy and global leadership, Hillary will not lose sight of our very real strategic interests in the region. She would devote the resources we need to fight terrorism and will order specialized units to engage in narrow and targeted operations against al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations in the region.

Well, after reading this, angelina doesn’t agree with neither of the democratic candidates. Both are on the same page that helping the refugees will be handle by a international force, not american soldiers (like angelina wants)

Neither Obama and Hillary are taking that chance, they are thinking to give billions and form an international force to help with the process WITH NO NEED OF AMERICANS TROOPS.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cowardice at its highest. So, I guess you want to provide the money but not the lives?
Which country on earth would contribute troops to an international force who will risk their lives at the behest of the main offender and war aggressor who stays cowardly stays home.
Of course she wrote it. that guy i s an assclown!
envious ritzy is full force here.
she freshly started with new names using Democrat’s candidates
———-
what the ****? so are you saying that any republican angelina fan is a TROLL??????????????????????
Are you insane?
why being a republican means bad things? just because you want angelina to be a democrat even she was a republican doesn’t make her a bad person. You’re sick.
and it sort of makes me appreciate this Brad Pitt guy a little more. He’s gone after substance here, is all I’m saying. This really is a good piece.”
This is the only intelligent thing that has EVER come out of Limbaugh’s mouth :D

Yeah, i agree with you; Angelina is staying neutral and i’m glad that Brad is doing the same.

Listen, I’m a democrat and you’re not. We can arguee for years and we won’t make any progress.
If you don’t like what Obama and Hillary plan to do, then vote for someone else.
I’m just expressing my opinion.

Money cannot buy peace.
International force is wanting to retreat from the country.
US should remember what international opinion was when they decided to support Bush. They are reluctant to help arrogant US which violated International law.
Clint is voting for Mccain, now Angie too. I’m happy

I really hate Rush Limbaugh…but as a Democrat myself, I am in agreement with Angie op-ed. To me, what Angie is talking about is the political realities of the war. We can’t just pull out, even Democrats understand this. The pulling out theory makes for great political speeches and all, but the reality is very much different. Make no mistake, Clinton and Obama are aware of this and would agree with Angie. I believe what the Democrats want is a timetable of when we are going to pull out but not 100 years like McCain states. After all this is not a supposed to be “an occupation.” We had no business going there in the first place but since we are there we have to fix the problems we caused. That is what she is saying period. To me, there is no political alliance in her article just the realities of this terrible war.

Although you are not referring to me; but i want to respond to you anyway, because the people of here NEVER said that being a Republican is a BAD thing; because it’s NOT!! But what we are complaining is that the Trolls are affirming that Angelina is a Republican when we DON’T if that is true or not!! This trolls are saying that Angelina is Republican just to start SH*T, but NO!! being a Republican or a Democrat is not a bad thing!!
What IDIOTS!!!! Her and rush.
Only thing that revolves around this piece of s is her pittstain!

Yes, some people are so naive.
They cannot read between lines.
Ritzy has her trick.
She is very active now.
Don’t forget, Angelina works with the UN, an international organization (you don’t get any more international than that) and with a lot of the NGOs (she mentioned them in the op-ed). What make you think she wants just the American troops to stay in Iraq to help, an no other international organizations?
28 Sunny @ 02/29/2008 at 10:39 pm Strange, strange Iraq war supporting bedfellows….
Rush is a drug abusing blowhard.. Angelina is a … movie actress. Both have fallen for the Bush war party line.
Yes, by all means… let’s stay in Iraq and get thousands more of our fine young soldiers killed… and thousands more Iraqi civilians. That’s a humanitarian stance. NOT
——-
Sunny, read her article, posted by ha ha ha (#16).
Nowhere in AJ’s article does she say anything about continuing the war. Her business is refugees and it’s her view that the troops can/should assist the Iraqi government and the UNHCR in helping the Iraqi refugees come back and resettle in their country.

yeah, I agree, RL is using that op/ed to jab at Dems. this is a nonpolitical piece.
Hey, yesterday I was “post & run”. Did not have time to say hi or thank JJ for the thread. Been busy. Working tonight?
OT From my previous posts on the last thread)
Star Seeking
Rep. Thelma Drake, R-Va., says members of the House Armed Services Committee could learn something about Iraq from actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie.
In a letter to committee chairman Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., Drake asked that Jolie, a U.N. goodwill ambassador, be invited to testify on the status of millions of refugees in Iraq and its neighboring countries.
“I believe the membership of our committee would gain crucial insight into another important aspect of the conflict from Ms. Jolie’s testimony,” Drake wrote, saying the committee could benefit from “differing perspectives on Iraq.”

I knew the wingnut blowhards would take her plea for humanitarian aid and try to snow their unwashed ignorant rethuglican masses into think their ’side’ is right…bottomline regarding the ’surge’: Angelina hasn’t said anything Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton haven’t also said about the surge first. The repubs are just trying to use her.
…and here’s another UGH moment…tonight on showbiz tonight cnn…they had a segment on ‘painful celeb breakups’ why they hurt us too..of course they covered maniston and brad…along with ryan and reese and jessica and nick….they had tomika whatserface and that intouch ugly tran carolina bermudez…basically aj said its been 3 years people can’t get over it..tomeka talked about the team thing..the fact that they were seen as a ‘barbie and ken’ of HW..(more like ken and a troll doll..lolol)…called her rachel green……and of course the intouch hag…eagerly piped up about how maniston was revered in hollywood (bahahaha) and referred to aj as a ‘homewrecker.’ Hey b*tch you have to have a home to get it ‘wrecked’…they didn’t and everyone in HW knew they had been separated for 6 and 9 mos. at a time, he was in hotels, they were both giving interviews talking like they were toast, all PRE before Angie. lol all in all a silly segment. But the point of it was…anyone who isn’t over it, is the one with the problem.

ITA! That’s exactly what she is saying.
I want to clarify. All I know about Rush Limbaugh is that he is a staunch Republican. He likes AJ’s article. I’m sure so do a lot of other people, Republicans and Democrats.
As usual, there will be those who don’t like her article, but that is normal. There are always opposites.
The earth will spin in non-orbital motion on its axis the day Rush Limbaugh gives a fig about refugees. I knew the Bushies were using Angelina and I’m sure she did too.
PT #62, i was just about to respond to Tiger, when i saw your post, and you have said everything i was about to. Nowhere in Angie’s post does she endorse the war. The entire article from top to bottom is a plea for humanatarian efforts from the US in rebuilding a country that they destroyed. Since when does humanitarian efforts make one a Republican. There is a joke in there somewhere.
We had no business going there in the first place
but since we are there we have to fix the problems we caused.
That is what she is saying period. To me, there is no political alliance in her article just the realities of this terrible war.

That’s the point of her article and the global people will agree with her.
I can not stand RL, but this is the first time I agree with the son of a gun.
Angie manages to bring together everyone. From Bill O’Reily to Rush Limbaugh to Collin Powell to Hillary Clinton. That’s one powerful woman.
Hi Guli- Thanks for MF’s Tarkan video. I am hoping that R’s spirit’s are up.
Has Curly already left the States? I think, due to time difference, Medi posts mostly in the morning hours, so I keep missing her.
