The usual suspects pass on the inauguration
THRHarvey Weinstein Will Attend Obama Inauguration; Spielberg, Katzenberg Pass
Weinstein tells THR he’s “looking forward” to attending the festivities, which will include an all-star lineup of musical celebrities.President Obama’s second inauguration won’t have quite the Hollywood celebrity wattage of his first, but there still will be a substantial entertainment industry contingent in Washington on Jan. 21 to celebrate the beginning of his new term.
A representative for mega-Obama backersJeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielbergand Tom Hanks told The Hollywood Reporter they wouldn’t be attending because they “have other commitments.” So, too, does Andy Spahn, the Hollywood point man for the Obama re-election campaign. Presidential pal and super-fundraiser George Clooney will be traveling “out of the country,” as will talk diva Oprah Winfrey.

They are all probably in Switzerland setting up bank accounts as fast as they can. I hate these people.

Hardly ever watch movies, last one was Act of Valor. I think a life is better spent loving my nuclear family, the one with no Hollywood communists in it.

What absolute crap. They’re starting to distance themselves from Obama for when the inevitable meltdown occurs. In about 2 years you’ll start hearing choruses of “Gee, I was fooled to, just like you guys so you can keep loving and adoring me”

Whenever I think of Gollywood political groupies, I think of Winifred Ames in “Wag The Dog”:
“Oh, God. What do we do now? Huh? Huh? What do we do now, huh, boy producer? Huh? Mister win-an-Emmy, social-conscience, whale-shit, save-the-rain-forest, peacenik-commie, fuckin’-hire-a-convict-shithead? Huh? What do we do now, liberal, affirmative action, shithead, peacenik commie fuck? What do you want to do now?”
I also think of the dialogue on voting from the film. I especially like the excuse offered about voting booths being claustrophobic. “But I always vote for the Oscars.”
