Memo to Democrats: No one cares about Danny Glover.
During caucus crunch time, Glover came to stump for John Edwards (remember him? The man from Reckless, N.C.?). Edwards' much beloved press aide here, Adam Bozzi, demanded we cover Glover, who was walking a neighborhood or something. Danny Glover? He was a great moderating influence on the sociopathic cop played by Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon I, II, III, IV, V (?). He was also phenomenal in the infomercial for Winsor Pilates.
Anyway, a colleague (actually, it may have been two) told Bozzi that no, we didn't much care and wouldn't be covering him.
So he threatened to go to our editors with this dangerous abrogation of our duties. Our editor laughed at him. And that was that.
Well, Glover's back.
From a press release:
Danny Glover stumps West Las Vegas for Obama
Renowned actor, director, Danny Glover will tour the historic West side of Las Vegas today as a guest of State Senator Steven Horsford. His tour will culminate with a rally in the foyer of the West Las Vegas Library Theater at 4:00 PM. Mr. Glover has been an active surrogate throughout this Presidential Campaign season.

danny glover should be kicked out of our country for treason. anyone that he endorses will never get my vote.
"danny glover should be kicked out of our country for treason."
Treason? For endorsing a candidate?
Obviously you are not from this country and do not understand our constitution. Please go back home, Mr. Murdoch. We've had enough of your B.S.
danny who another racist turncoat voting for the color of his choice
Danny Glover blatantly admits his admiration and support of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. His position is always anti-America.
"Danny Glover blatantly admits his admiration and support of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. His position is always anti-America."
My point is, he is not treasonous for having an opinion you don't like. He does not like Bush. I don't either and do think Bush uses terrorist tactics. Does that make me treasonous too? Only to someone who does not believe in our constitution (unless it suits them) maybe.
The rest? I'm honestly not worried about Hugo freekin' Chavez right now and Fidel is Fe'done. I could only support your assertions of what Danny may or may not have said or supported on far right-wing blabitty blogs. Sorry. No cred.
Glover is a true racist and if supports Obama, I feel more confident in my opposition. Besides, who gives a flying F about celebrity endorsements. They're all morons.
Seriously, are we that bewitched by Obama's sweet talk and vacuous "hope and change" "Bush is McCain", blah, blah, blah, empty platitudes, that we're willing to overlook:
1. The fact Obama has no serious energy policy. Does anyone seriously believe the Democratic Party, which has long railed against more drilling, nuclear power, and coal plants(Biden said he and Obama would not build any "clean coal" plants) will drill for more oil, build more nuclear power plants, and build clean coal plants?
Plus, the last time we had a "windfall profits tax", our dependence on foreign oil grew.
2. The fact it's impossible to give 95% of Americans a "tax cut" because only 70% of Americans pay taxes. Or the fact that Obama gets credited with caring for the middle class even though he said he wasn't opposed to high gas prices(just that they became too high too fast). Or that Obama favors high gas taxes(which affect everybody). Or the fact the last time taxes were raised in a recession(1932), unemployment jumped 8%.
3. The fact Obama has promised so much spending that his spending would bankrupt the country.
4. The fact the Democratic Party is salivating at the prospect of instituting the "Fairness Doctrine" which, for all practical purposes, if implemented, would end any opposition talk radio but will not apply to Democratic Friendly TV stations.
5. The fact, under Obama, secret ballots for certain Union activities will be replaced by public votes where Union members will be subject to being strongarmed or ostracized into supporting Union bosses.
6. The fact Obama, since entering the Presidential election fray and the Senate, has made numerous wrong foreign policy decisions(wrong on the surge, wrong by calling for Georgia to "show restraint", reckless statements about invading Pakistan, naive expectations that negotiating "without preconditions" with "tough minded diplomacy" with "terrorists" will dissuade terrorists like Ahmadinejad from not building nuclear weapons).
Or that Obama didn't have to vote on the Iraq War because he wasn't in the Senate at the time.
7. The fact Obama and the Democratic Congress didn't lift a finger to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the last two years.
8. The fact Obama has the most questionable associations and alliances of potentially any candidate for a major US party in history. How many US major party candidates would spend 20 years in a hate filled church? Hang out with a former PLO spokesman? A slumlord financier? A Weather Underground Terrorist?
9. The fact Obama called Pennsylvanians "bitter clingers to guns and religion".
Change for change's sake is never a good idea.
Drillnow, Thanks for the Roboposts.
Which oil company do you work for? The one McCain owns the most stock in?
