Dancing with Dogs: This is very funny

This is very funny

A really funny article in the Guardian about "Celebrity peace-protesters" - you know, the ones like Sheryl Crow who support wars when they luurv the administration (Sheryl was very pro-war during the Clinton Administration) -

Silly show-offs against Saddam!

But I'm not prepared to wear the pro-war straitjacket I've been handed without having a good old hissy fit. And a bit of name-calling never goes amiss, either. So may I just single out for salutations, on the "anti-war" side: Pop Stars For Appeasement, Dancers Against Democracy, Actors For Apathy, Fashionistas For Fascism and Jugglers For Genocide. All of them united under that flaccid flag of convenience, Show-Offs For Saddam.

Remember the 1980s? Leg-warmers, shoulder-pads, poking fun at Ronald Reagan because he was a dumb-ass actor who had the gall to pronounce on politics? Those were the days! Back then, the left thought it fantastically funny that entertainers dare open their useless yaps about important issues. But now, it seems the testimony of a jester is automatically worth twice that of what Liz Hurley so charmingly called "civilians" (ie, people who do something other than raiding the dressing-up box for a living).

Absolutely Hilarious!
