Clark is getting all the beautiful women....that's for sure.....

[deminflorida]

"Will Gwyneth Paltrow back Wes Clark, too?

Last week, Madonna caused a stir with a strongly-worded endorsement of the presidential candidate on her Web site, as well as some tough words for the current administration.

Now, Paltrow is raising eyebrows by also blasting the president. “I think George Bush is such an embarrassment to America in the way that he doesn’t take the rest of the world at all into consideration,” the star said while promoting “Sylvia,” according to the Scottish Daily Record “And it all seems to be for him and his friends to keep getting richer at the expense of a nation, at the expense of the environment.”

Some are expecting Paltrow to take a cue from her fellow blond American transplant, Madonna, and throw her weight behind Clark, too. “Madonna is very serious about Clark, and is working hard to get people in her circle to join her,” says a source. Paltrow’s rep didn’t return calls for comment."

1. Clark's Got Game!

Face it.

Clark has mad appeal that pulls from a variety of demographics. If part of that demographic includes beautiful women...well...we'll take them as well. :-)

[bowens43]

2. Well that's important.....

beauty is only skin deep like Clark's qualifications.

[deminflorida]

4. Did you really think she was going to endorse a bridge troll with

a big mouth?

[janx]

12. Hey, I've heard that before!

9. Jealous?

Don't be intimidated by a Rhodes Scholar, 4-language speaking, 3 masters degree having 4-star general. I know it's tough.

[Red_Storm]

22. Clark speaks 4 languages ?

DAMN !......which ones ?.....just curious.......

[webkev]

24. english russian german and some spanish i think - nt

[Red_Storm]

25. I'm thinking about going to the Clark event............

tomorrow at Grand Central......maybe kick a little Spanish to him, see what he says.......

[Clark Can WIN]

49. You may have to repeat it................ he kind of needs to readjust

in his head when switching between languages. I've seen his speak Russian and Spanish.

Russian makes me :loveya:

[Frederic Bastiat]

53. I know he speaks English, French and Russian

French being the historical language of the military ;)

Doubtful about the German, I think the fourth is Spanish which is pretty close to French.

[Donna Zen]

68. Yes German

I've seen him do an interview in Spanish, but he switched to English for questions about Iraq.

Anyway, I was behind him when one of his classmates showed up and after an English greeting with bearhug, they switched to Russian. No hesitation...very smooth.

He does not list French as one of the languages.

39. Hey!

I've heard that before.

14. Beat me to it!

Isn't comforting to know that we are evaluating
candidates on such a superficial yardstick.
For the record, my dear friend has worked with
Madonna and decribes her as a pig. a slob, and
a very disagreeable, selfish, loud, self serving wench
who cares not a whit about anyone who is not equally
wealthy and famous.
Maybe if Clark is elected he can appoint her
to his cabinet as director of the slave labor camps?
She has plenty of experience in abusing workers.

19. Ouch, I'm not gonna go there but here's beautiful Dean supporter

But I will say that in California Dean is supported by Sheila Kuehl, D-Los Angeles. You might have remember her from her days on the 60's show The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. She's a great Democratic fighter for progressive causes.

Her beauty is more then skin deep.
Senate District 23


>>During the Democratic National Committee meeting last month, Dean drew loud applause when he said he was from "the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party." Since then, some have wondered why Dean failed to credit the politician who most often used that line -- the late Sen. Paul Wellstone of Minnesota, a lawmaker who was proud of his liberal credentials.

Dean said Tuesday that he used to credit California State Sen. Sheila Kuehl, a Democrat who represents Santa Monica, with the line.

"I got a lot of e-mails from Wellstone's people," Dean said. "I'm not going to give it up. I admired Wellstone, though he's a bit more liberal than I am."<<

[ronnykmarshall]

27. I loves me some Sheila!

She's my state senator!

[roguevalley]

33. She's wonderful, isn't she? So funny and smart on Dobie Gillis.

As for the beauty thing, simmer down. Anyone voting for
ANY of our guys isn't voting for dork wad. Anyone giving
money to ANY of our guys and getting others to do so,
isn't working for idiot boy.

If they were waitresses throwing their weight to the
candidate they believed in, no one would be anything
but happy no matter how beautiful or not they are.
This reminds me of the shellacking Alex Baldwin gets
everytime he EXERCISES HIS FRANCHISE AS A CITIZEN and
talks about his beliefs and opinions.

I don't care that Madonna might be a hog, etc. But
she's also an American and last time I checked (11:56
AM, Alaska Time) she had the right to speak, endorse
and advocate.

Or is that only the province of 'normal' people like
you and me?

RV, who hopes she learns some people skills before she
goes to hell for being hateful to the help.

[robbedvoter]

66. I'll raise you Marion Frances Berry! (Civil rights comission Chair)

She said she knows them all from Tricky Dick onward and Clark is the only one she believes.

[retyred]

57. Yeah, but ugly is to the bone.

3. Blond beautiful women for Clark LOL

What the hell, why not?

Can you just see him blushing now???????????????? HA !!!!!!

[sandnsea]

6. Teresa, the most beautiful woman, is for Kerry

Women don't come any better than Teresa Heinz Kerry.

[deminflorida]

21. That I agree with...

She's really special...my wife likes her too.

[Dookus]

46. No argument here....

As much as I love Gert, Clark should marry Teresa - the's the most awesome of the wives...

*disclaimer* I'm just kiddin' about Clark leavin' Gert. They're a beautiful couple. I've only seen a little bit of Gert, but a lot of Teresa and I'm in just in love with THK.

[KittyWampus]

7. I Would Have Phrased The Thread Title Differently

:)

[Cheswick2.0]

8. well he is certainly getting his share of dumb blonds and scaredy cats

"We have to nominate Clark or the republicans will pick on us and/or we won't be safe around the world."

[meow mix]

16. meow

actually its just that he's the best candidate, ever. =)

that other stuff is frosting on the cake.

36. Hey, I've heard that before

63. Does Polly wanna cracker?

[helleborient]

13. Personally, I find Kirsten Dunst rather attractive...

She's appearing with Rob Reiner and Martin Sheen in support of Gov. Dean in Sioux City tomorrow.

[Cheswick2.0]

37. Now there's a fellow blond with a brain

Good for her.

[Hep]

15. All?

That's a rude and superficial thing to say. No wonder I'm not a Clark fan. I don't think I'd be able to stand the company.

[tameszu]

26. This post demonstrates that you're just Mr./Ms. Congeniality yourself

:eyes:

Come on, loosen up a little, OK? Gwyneth and Madonna (to some) are easy on the eyes. DU would be a much friendlier place if a lot of us just lightened up a bit. That's what this post was trying to do.

20. Anyone got Gloria Estefan's phone number?

Don't think it's quite that realistic to expect her endorsement, but what a line-up that'd be!

Yeah I know... But I love Gloria's voice.

[Doctor_J]

31. I think Gloria's a Repug.

About the only unlovable thing about her. But it's a big one.

[NV1962]

60. She's *very* conservative

And a very vocal anti-Castrista, too. Would make a very, uh, awkward endorsement, to put it politely.

Anyway, screw politics - she sings like a nightingale!

[Red_Storm]

28. If Jessica Alba endorses Clark..........

It's On !!!!!!

[spooky3]

30. uh oh, Gwyneth better ask Johnny Depp if he has a spare room

She's going to be Dixie Chicked shortly.

[burning bush]

32. Congrats on the coveted Madonna endoresement, Wesley

Maybe Brittany Spears will take a bite out of the Clark bar next, who knows?

[eissa]

34. Nah, Britney is a bush girl

Now Christina on the other hand.....

BTW, congrats on the endorsements; any endorsement for one of our guys is a plus :-)

[Constitution]

35. Madona will bring in the MTV crowd.

It's definitely a plus.

[bitchkitty]

40. Shallow. n/t

[LizW2]

41. Uh, thanks a lot

Reminds me of an editorial Thomas Sowell wrote one time about how Republican women were so much better looking than Democratic women.

:eyes:

[Jack_Dawson]

42. That's pretty true

Peggy Noonan is kind of a babe in an older lady type way.

[eissa]

43. Only superficially

Democratic women are naturally more attractive, whereas repuke women are bleached and siliconed (Harris, Coulter, Ingrahm -- although I'm not sure if I should have included Coulter in a thread about women). Plus, democratic women are far more intelligent, which only adds to our sex appeal!

[goobergunch]

45. Dean's got Jan Schakowsky :P (n/t)

48. Clark is getting all the beautiful women....

.. bet the interns can't wait. He's Clinton's choice alright!

51. Not worried about it

Gert would kick thier ass :-)

50. Dean has Paul Newman

He trumps Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna, and more, all rolled up into one. :)

[OhioStateProgressive]

52. figures

this is america, beauty and what is shallow is all that matters nowadays

[West Coast Democrat]

54. Don't hate us for being Clark Supporters

just hate us for being beautiful :-)

[Clark4VotingRights]

55. Clark's a babe magnet. We just can't resist a man in uniform.

:)

[maxanne]

62. will he be

appearing on the cover of "Tiger Beat" sometime soon?

:eyes:

[arewethereyet]

56. Madonna is beautiful ?

are we talking about the singer here or some other pretty Madonna ?

[MoonRiver]

58. Hubba, hubba, hubba!

:D

[crobinson2k]

59. Schmadonna

Madonna is supporting Wesley Clark. What the hell is that about?

She sent a mass email saying that, as a mother, she can relate to our concerns about the state of the nation. Is she for real? She gets up in front of millions, dressed in undergarments, and French kisses younger versions of herself for a living. How can she relate to regular moms who wear sturdy bras, gut-be-gone undies and haven’t been French-kissed in years because we’re too busy trying to get mashed potatoes out of our hair.

By the way, her children’s book blows.

[tameszu]

67. What do ya mean? I can totally relate to her

I cross dress in pointy bras all of the time. =P

(Which is why I support Clark, of course)

[FredScuttle]

61. Uh, the title is a little misleading, no?

Not that the Jeannette Walls gossip column isn't top notch and all, but nowhere in this hard-hitting column do I see an actual endorsement by Gwyneth. Wishful thinking?

[hellhathnofury]

64. Who cares about beauty when you have "the president."

[robbedvoter]

65. he's got me! ;-)

Who cares about them others?
