Celebrities afraid of Bush...MRC afraid of boobs.
It's not really the Media Research Center's finest moment, but it does say a lot about the way they think. Priggish, moralistic, anal...well, you be the judge
In a Cyberalert about a CBS segment on celebrities and their views on the upcoming Sweeps Week of Death in Iraq:
Raymond's dad “afraid” of President Bush. In the midst of an Access Hollywood story Wednesday night by Pat O'Brien on fears of a “return of Hollywood's darkest hour, blacklisting,” a harkening back to when in the 1950s “actors and writers suspected of communist ties were subjected to a witch hunt,” actor Peter Boyle, who plays “Frank Barone” on the CBS sit-com Everybody Loves Raymond, told O'Brien that “I’ve made a commitment not to make any anti-war statements” because “I'm afraid...of Bush.”
In the same story, actor Richard Gere revealed he has no clue about true public opinion, as he demanded: “Why is it when we have tens of millions of people in this country who say no, we still have a President who says yes in a democracy? This is, something’s wrong here.”
[snip...]
Peter Boyle, on “red carpet” outside the March 9 SAG Awards in Los Angeles: “I’ve made a commitment not to make any anti-war statements.”
O’Brien to Boyle: “Why?”
Boyle: “Because I’m afraid.”
O’Brien: “Of?”
Boyle: “Of Bush.”
O’Brien: “The Screen Actors Guild has issued a statement warning against the threat. Melissa Gilbert is SAG’s President.”
Melissa Gilbert: “There is a sense out there, people who’ve got these Web sites going where they’re asking folks to sign petitions to insist that actors are fired off the shows they’re on. And it’s, they’re getting like 30,000 signatures.”
O’Brien prompted her: “It’s scary?”
Gilbert: “That’s scary.”
[snip...] Here comes the kicker (emphasis is mine):
And for a look at what Melissa Gilbert, “half pint” from Little House on the Prairie, wore, or shall I say didn't wear, to the SAG Awards carried by TNT, and her acting credits: IMDB
This is the picture that MRC is alluding ("or shall I say didn't wear") to.
I'm suprised Bozell didn't refer to Gilbert as the Little Ho on the Prairie....
