interesting, but what donations has Dakota done?
Melissa Gilbert? Of Little House on the Prairie fame?? What's she doing giving money to a Nellie?
So, of the two who donated to Republicans, one of them is a former gangster and convicted felon. Go figure.
If Christie Brinkley is an "actress", then I'm Lyndon LaRouche. Oh, wait.....
I thought the maximum individual contribution was $2,300...?
Nice to see Melissa Gilbert spending her hard earned Lifetime Movie of the Week money on Mr. 9/11. I'd be more interested to see who her little sister is donating to. Isn't Sarah Gilbert a lesbian?
Half Pint's full of shit.
Not to point out the obvious but....
wow, look at that race divide.
arduous @5: The max donation is $2300 per election cycle. So the better-off among us will just write one check for $4600, and half will go to the primary cycle and half to the general election. Ben still sending $6900 to Clinton tells me he forgot he'd maxed and sent another $2300 along - happens all the time in campaigns; they just write a check back to the contributor.
@6:
Yes, Sara is a happily partnered lesbian with children.
Isn't it interesting that Mary Steenbergen gave to John Edwards, but not to Hilary? (Mary is a longtime FOB and is from Arkansas).
Also, HalfPint is a past president of the SAG, so watch out. She's got something in common w/Reagan.
Look, Melissa Gilbert simply understands that if you're not a Republican, then you're a terrahist-fellating, dirty traitor who hates America.
I'm surprised that Kelsey Grammar, Adam Sandler and whatsherface from Everybody Loves Raymond (or was it Home Improvement?) aren't on the list since they're the only Republicans in Hollywood who'll admit to it.
Looks like Jodie's hankering for a Richardson/Obama ticket. Smart lady.
Ok, there's one thing I gotta agree with the Rethugs on. Who f'n cares who the movie stars are gonna vote for?
I wanna know the republican ones, so that I can stop watching their shows/movies, like Kelsey Grammer (I know!) and Patricia Heaton (never watched hers anyway).
I'm sure that with Jodie Foster's endorsement, Bill Richardson now has a lock on the lesbian vote.
