Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore defend Sarah Palin against media onslaught

[onehandle]

Is Hollywood softening its opinion on Sarah Palin?

Over the weekend, the former Alaska governor got a surprising show of support from actor Ashton Kutcher, who trashed the media for digging through thousands of emails Palin sent when she was in office.

"As much as I'm not a fan of Sarah Palin I find sifting through her emails repulsive and over reaching media," Kutcher said on Twitter.

The message was re-tweeted by his wife, actress Demi Moore, who added, "So agree!"

Media leeches stick together?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

1. They are official emails, not personal ones.

[notadmblnd]

9. and in addition to that, they were requested while she was still gov and running as VP

It has taken this long for the media to force her to release them. So they were pertinent at one time.

[Blasphemer]

28. Yep... I doubt Kutcher & Moore follow politics closely enough to know these facts... nt

[Scuba]

40. We don't need to stinkin' facts! n/t

[Forkboy]

2. Now there's a couple of opinions that will carry weight with me.

:rofl:

[onehandle]

6. I base all of my life decisions on them.

Tomorrow I start my bad acting lessons.

[CreekDog]

20. BURN!

:rofl:

[LisaM]

8. Ha ha ha

Agreed!

[fishwax]

22. .

:rofl:

[treestar]

43. yep.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[immoderate]

48. Ashton said it. I believe it. That settles it!

--imm

[notesdev]

3. What repulses me about it

is that all that effort was spent on trivial nonsense when it should have gone into piecing together into whose pockets all the bailout money went.

[emilyg]

11. Correct.

[provis99]

4. two meatheads that make Bruce Willis look smart.

[yurbud]

5. Demi is just mad she did start Palin impersonating before Tina Fey cornered the market.

[LisaM]

10. You think a lot more than I do of Demi Moore's talent

I don't think she could impersonate herself.

7. If I based my opinion on what celebrites thought, then maybe I would care.

However, since I don't give a damn what any celebrity thinks, Ashton and Demi thoughts are irrelevant.

[LiberalFighter]

13. I have never liked Kutcher.

He was scum as Kelso in That '70s Show. And there hasn't been anything he has done that I liked. His Nikon commercials suck too.

Kutcher has demonstrated that his reasoning skills when it comes to life skills are nearly non existent.

[Broderick]

25. that movie butterfly something or other was pretty good

but beyond that, he ought stick to acting than interjecting.

[Iggo]

42. I like him a lot...

...when he's doing what he's good at: Playing an idiot in movies and TV.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

Talking about politics with the grownups? Not so much.

[Justitia]

14. Kutcher was on Bill Maher's show spouting libertarian bullshit before - maybe Palin is his flavor?

And he just doesn't want to come out and admit it?

[Blacksheep214]

15. Consider the source

Then disregard it!

[liberation]

16. *ahem* Punk'd *ahem*

Kind of hypocritical for a guy who made a name for himself filming famous people in distress, to voice his opinion regarding OFFICIAL e-mails, AKA PUBLIC RECORD, as them being a "personal attack" on one of them celebrities.

Kutcher should just shut up and do what he does best: sit pretty.

[JuniperLea]

27. Damn straight!

Good call.

If they were personal emails, I'd agree... this is the business of the State of Alas-KA we're talking about. No one owns those except the people of the good State of Alaska! Haven't they been through enough? There are many, many damn fine liberal Alaskans who would no doubt agree.

[SoapBox]

17. So...as with the Thugs...it appears that Kutcher needs to just keep on talking

...so we can see if he is in the Crazy Hollywood / Music crowd.

I've made a mental note of this and may never look at him and the wife the same again.

[MikeMc]

18. Yeah, but they're so untalented.

I believe Demi is involved in Planet Hollywood with Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and her ex-hubby Willis (loved him in 12 Monkeys).
Kutchner's Butterfly Effect blows chunks. Demi's Disclosure was interesting, but I think she was a corporate hatchet-woman and sexual stalker in that one, not much of a stretch.

[Bluenorthwest]

19. He's sort of a survivalist libertarian doofus

She's just a Republican and neither of them are very bright. He is in fact, understudy to Charlie Sheen. Stepping into the big shoes takes some crazy Tweeting.....

[spanone]

21. who cares

[krabigirl]

23. exactly.

[Broderick]

24. go back to acting.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

49. When did he start?

[Catherine Vincent]

26. They probably lost a bunch of followers because of it

But then they probably gained a bunch of followers too.

[deaniac21]

29. Wake me when it's over.

[Heywood J]

30. Actor no one takes seriously says something absurd. (NT)

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

31. I agree! Why do we care about The Quitter's emails? I don't get it! n/t

[lynne]

32. I don't get the email thing either. She's not in office. She's not announced -

- she's running for anything. And - after all this hoopla - it looks like there's pretty much ZILCH in the emails. Jon Stewart just did a bit on this very situation.

We should be spending time looking at emails of those in office and those running for office and not wasting time on Palin. Not to mention that the emails were as informative and exciting as the contents of Capone's vault. Real waste of energy and time, IMO.

[jberryhill]

36. I'm sorry you find public records boring

But they remain public records. Why do we have all those books in libraries that nobody reads?

[lynne]

45. Actually, I do a good bit of historic research so I LOVE public records -

- the difference is that I'm focused on finding something very specific and I only search public records that relate to what I'm looking for. There was no specific reason to search these records other than the abstract hope of finding an embarrassing moment on someone who isn't in public office and hasn't announced that she intends to be. And that didn't happen.

Lack of focus + waste of time + waste of energy + no results = Epic Fail.

[jberryhill]

47. I think it is too early to judge

One area of interest was Todd's involvement. Also the general subject matter relegated to the privilege log, and whether the communications were indeed privileged or simply withheld is interesting.

Correlating the messages to historical events isn't work I would expect to be completed soon, and at this point there trees than forest.

[emulatorloo]

37. The emails were requested during the '08 campaign by David Corn etc. Just released now.

[Golden Raisin]

33. Ah! The modern day Lord Olivier

and Vivien Leigh offer their lofty, intellectual opinions. Ashton & Demi: Hollywood Royalty in 2011. Dude, where's my I give a shit what you and your equally vacuous spouse think/tweet?

[rpannier]

34. Wow, Ashton Kutcher

He's the 2,457,983,707th person I turn to when I want opinions on things like politics.

[Tripod]

35. Like I care about them!

[DiverDave]

38. who cares?

they have a right to their opinion and I have the right to say "who cares?"

[pinboy3niner]

39. This is less about politics and more about H'wood celebs/paparazzi

From this pair's perspective, it's natural for them to sympathize with ayone subjected to what they would likely regard as intrusive paparazzi tactics.

From their perpective, it's all about intrusions on privacy, something that is likely to be a sore spot with any Hollywood celeb. I doubt they're seeing the distinction between a celeb and a government official.

[Javaman]

41. He got a job, now his publicist has the inglorious task of promoting his inanity.

before, he publicist could tell him to fuck off.

[undeterred]

44. Palin wants the attention, don't they get it?

Next thing she'll be releasing is her old panties.

[Safetykitten]

46. Commrades in banality and idiocy.

[ergot]

50. Did she -strenuously- object?

;-)

[joeybee12]

51. So, Ashton playing all those dumb characters isn't really acting? nt
