Slog - Comments on Clearly, Sandra Oh is the Martin Luther King Jr. of the Hollywood Writers Strike http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/clearly_sandra_oh_is_the_martin_luther_k Tremendous. I'd vote for her. (Thanks, Towleroad.)...

It's about getting paid money, after all, not about establishing some kind of classless Hollywood proletariat state.

Imagine that being said at a rally outside the Capitol building as the House debated ENDA.

Passionate speeches. Thousands of energized supporters. Clarity of purpose. Unity.

Nah....who am I kidding? People don't organize behind principles of fairness and justice anymore. That would be stupid. What a waste of democracy.

Haven't they heard of incremental steps?

Yes, because god knows we wouldn't want anyone taking pride in what they do.

I'm guessing when the writers go back to work, Sandra Oh's character on "Grey's Anatomy "will have some incredible plotlines.

Do any of you think about what you're watching? She's stating that because it's a solidarity rally. It is relevant that she is not a writer. They are not cheering her being an actor, but an actor speaking on their behalf.
Effectively, at that.
