Angelina Jolie to endorse a presidential candidate, world waits with bated breath, I eat a sandwich
Monday, August 11th, 2008
First, the world waited to see the first photos of Angelina Jolie's newborn twins. Now, we wait to see who she'll endorse to be President of the United States. My God, how much power does this woman have? How do we know her breasts aren't intergalactic weapons of doom that will enslave us all? You don't see Hannity & Colmes tackling that issue. For the record, I volunteer myself to investigate. Wilshire & Washington reports:
"I have not decided on a candidate," Jolie says, "I am waiting to see the commitments they will make on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world."Yeah, all that stuff. But who is Angelina leaning towards? Turns out it's a toss-up:
Unlike many other celebrity endorsements, Jolie's carries the weight and influence of her extensive humanitarian work around the world, as the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Her statement was an indication that she would be open to choosing a candidate.
In June, when Entertainment Weekly asked her whether she talked politics with Clint Eastwood, a longtime Republican, on the set of the upcoming movie, "The Changeling," she said, "Actually, we don't disagree as much as you'd think. I think people assume I'm a Democrat. But I'm registered independent and I'm still undecided. So I'm looking at McCain as well as Obama."To put things into perspective: Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight wrote an op-ed piece for the Washington Times essentially claiming Barack Obama would turn America into Louis Farrakhan Land and enslave the white race. So, for all you political junkies out there, look for Angelina to endorse whichever candidate has a firm stance on kicking your old man down the stairs when he forgets his pills. (Psst. Probably not McCain.)
