Republicans Unpopular in Stars Hollow; Lorelei Gilmore on Bush

[Dr Ron]

The Washington Post ( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/13/AR2006081300766.html ) reports that support for Republicans is even lower in the Northeast than the rest of the country. Liberal Values checked this out in Stars Hollows, Connecticut. One resident, Loreli Gilmore, says, “I hate President Bush! He’s stupid, and his face is too small for his head. I just want to toss him out.”

Many more quotes on Stars Hollows residents' views on Republicans, plus the 2005 Esquire article, "Gilmore girls is the best show on TV for men"

1. Taylor is the only obvious Repuke on that show.

He's the guy we all love to hate.

2. Loreli's parents are rich Republicans

and Emily treats her servants like absolute shit.


EDIT: Oh crap, now people know I watch Gilmore Girls.

4. You're right! I forgot about them...

... because THEY ARE my late in-laws.
Exactly. The same. Really. I'm not kidding.

6. Don't be embarassed that you watch the show...

It's one of the most underrated programs on TV. THey have some of the best writing, and every year I find myself surprised that Lauren Graham gets passed over for an Emmy nomination (but they'll give one to Eva Longoria :eyes:).

10. I wouldn't be so sure about that. I seem to recall Emily and Richard

have made some snarky comments about the Bush crowd.

(Yeah, I'm another straight guy that likes GG)

[ComerPerro]

11. well, ok, but they're old money Republicans

what some here would call "true conservatives"

[Dr Ron]

12. Avoiding taxes is likely their priority

For people like them, lowering taxes is the only issue that matters. I don't recall any signs that they go along with the Republican social agenda.

5. Taylor is just confused.

3. I LOVE her!!

My favorite comment of hers was when her boyfriend asked her to wear something evil on their date she came back with, "So... horns, tail, and my Wolfowitz t-shirt?"

7. I liked her until she cheated on Luke because she freaked out one night

after talking to a psychiatrist.

I think the show has gotten to the point all shows eventually get to. Everyone is happy, so they have to invent reasons for more drama.

[Blue Belle]

8. Yeah.... I cringed at that too...

Makes you wonder how this next season is going to go.

[ComerPerro]

9. in the finale? That was some crazy shit

my thing was, what the fuck?

She not only aviods, but completely blows off Luke for weeks?

Then she shows up out of nowhere, and before saying anything else demands that they elope right then and there.

He doesn't answer right away, so she storms off to Chris...



WTF?
