My poll:
Is Jessica Simpson right to refuse to meet with Bush at fundraiser?
And has she risen or fallen in you eyes for it?

5. She should be *demanding* to meet with him...

...as we all should. But when the Rs come hat-in-hand, it's good for them to hear "no."

6. Welcome to palookaville, Georgie

(Simpson)...still plans to visit Washington Thursday to lobby members of Congress on behalf of Operation Smile, a non-profit venture offering free plastic surgery for disadvantaged children overseas with facial deformities...(But)...she declined a request to appear that same evening at the gala fund-raiser of the National Republican Congressional Committee -- even after she was offered some private face time with Bush -- because Operation Smile is a non-partisan group.

...(O)ne Simpson insider told Reuters..."She would love to meet the president and talk about Operation Smile...but she can't do it at a fund-raiser for the Republican Party."

That sounds very prudent, practical and mature of her. Of course, it's equally possible that she just doesn't want to be seen within ten miles of ANYONE who is so obviously on his way down and out!

7. CNN is fucked - they're not even reporting the situation correctly

She's not refusing to meet with Shrubbie at all - she's refusing to attend a republican fundraiser. That's it.

Fuck you CNN, and the rest of you rightwing fucking media shills.

Stop spinning shit!!!!!

8. Could she be becoming more liberal?

Maybe it's Ashlee's influence. I saw something where she was also vocally against Tookie Williams's execution.

12. I suspect it's just a smart financial move by her people.

The foundation she is fronting for is non-partisan,
and needs donations from the public,
so it's pretty dumb to go on camera with the
most hated man in the USA.

14. Well, no matter her reasons, this should help more to "see the light".

The great apathetic majority are starting to
catch on that B*sh is not popular.

It's a sea change in our national collective consciousness;
rather than his popularity being a contentious issue,
it's simply becoming 'common knowledge' that no one likes him.

And to an administration whose every 'accomplishment' has been
built on a foundation of propaganda, this change in 'common knowledge'
is tantamount to a diagnosis of terminal cancer.

11. I can't believe CNN is actually polling this...

Let's forget about the fact that we're doing another "Pre-emptive" Air Strike today in Iraq... let's focus on the REAL news. Who fucking CARES about what Jessica Simpson does?? She lost me at Chicken of the Sea :eyes:

16. If she's looking to raise money for her charity

she is wise not to align herself with someone who has a 37% approval rating.
