Top (Hollywood) Stars Donated to Sen. Hillary Clinton

WASHINGTON


If Hollywood has a "DaVinci Code," Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has cracked it.

Top stars such as Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson donated to the New York senator in recent months, generating the kind of cash usually associated with a major box office opening _ or a potential presidential bid in 2008...

Clinton has spent millions on direct mailings to prospective donors. In the most recent three-month period, she spent more than $200,000 on postage alone. The campaign paid nearly $650,000 to a company that handles direct mail business.

The records also provided a tantalizing clue for would-be Clinton sleuths that she's serious about a White House run: two bills for unidentified campaign worker travel at the Hampton Inn in Des Moines, Iowa, the state with the first caucus in the presidential nomination process.

1. Who do we know these stars have endorsed before?

Who do we know Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson have endorsed before?

Why would these "Californians" take such interest in the New York Senate race?

Something is amiss here, no?

2. Worse kept secret in Hollywood (USA)

HRC is running in '08 and is 'sucking up' all the cash she can.

[Erika]

4. Why would that be a secret?

She is a democrat.

[Sam Odom]

7. Has she announced yet, no

But most know she will

[Erika]

8. So? n/t

[Sam Odom]

11. Keep up

The ?? was: Why would these "Californians" take such interest in the New York Senate race?

OK.

[Erika]

9. I don't know about the other two but

Tom Hanks is a long-time Clinton supporter as well as a consistent donor to Democrats in general.

20. You can get an idea at newsmeat.com

more specifically at http://www.newsmeat.com/celebrity_political_donations/ where you can search by name.

Some Californian actors spend time in NY working, promoting their current endeavors or visiting. Perhaps some of them donate because they feel a kinship with a state that they spend time in.

5. Why not? Hillary's been a good actress lately herself.

She once played the role of a progressive Democrat to some acclaim.

6. Oh JLO, don't blow your dough on Hil!

Al Gore baby, alllllllllllll the way! Hillary is a sell-out and damn near DINO IMO.

[Alexodin]

10. I live in Iowa and I will do all I can to see Hillary defeated.

She hasn't got a chance in my book and yes I do sip lattes but I have no limousine.

[Erika]

12. You feel better now?

Do you really?

26. Thanks for being a concientious Democrat. & may Iowa be the

scene of the Hillary trainwreck about to happen and not November2008.

[Erika]

14. I live in Idaho and will do all I can to see Frist defeated.

He doesn't have a chance even though I do not sip lattes and only use a limousine occasionally.

[madrchsod]

16. tell us how you really feel....

i feel the same about her as you do...my dad was born in your town and i still have relation there...

[Erika]

18. I really do hate Frist for adopting and experimenting on cats

Can you think of anything lower? He's got to go.

[IndianaGreen]

19. You have my blessings

Hillary's enabling of the war in Iraq, and her shameful cheerleading of Israel's bombing of Beirut and the killings of Lebanese civilians, makes her anathema to the antiwar movement. Her nomination for President will spell disaster at the polls.

[Erika]

21. But at least she doesn't experiment on cats

or have the morals of the alley cats like Rudy or Newt.

[IndianaGreen]

22. but she doesn't have a dog, or even a cat

She showed her morals when she endorsed Israel's bombing of Lebanon and the killing of civilians.

27. Who

do you support for president?

[bluestateguy]

25. I hope you do

Although I don't know who you voted for, I do hold Iowa Democratic caucus voters partially responsible for giving us the milquetoast John Kerry in 2004.

[bluestateguy]

23. I'm not a limousine liberal

but I hope to be one one day.

[sendero]

28. So much for ...

... "Hollywood Liberals". More like "Hollywood mushy centrists".
