How does one of the most experienced actresses in the world wind up stammering like a seventh grader giving a verbal book report in front of the class, script or no script? If I choked like that on my weekly conference call my boss would drug test me.
Buck Turgidson on September 17, 2007 at 9:53 AM
Sally, why then did Chelsea’s mommy vote FOR the war, huh??
deedledee on September 17, 2007 at 9:56 AM
Actually, a woman once ruled the known world: The Empress Irene, Byzantine Empire. She made Hillary, Lucrezia Borgia and Catherine the Great look like girl scouts.
As for all this ’still cute’ nonsense-my friends, it’s all hollywood magic. The same for Gidget as it is for Susan Sarandon, nearly 70, playing 20 years under her age in “Mr. Woodcock”. We need term limits for actresses, who hold onto their ’sexy’ power just as tenaciously as a Washington insider does political power. Term limits for everybody!
Doug on September 17, 2007 at 10:05 AM
Why does anyone listen to actors and actresses? They are not educated, have little if any touch with the real world and think of themselves as gods rather than the whores they are. In point of fact, anytime a woman has been a ruler she has almost always proven to be much more ruthless than a man.
davidcaskey on September 17, 2007 at 10:16 AM
That wasn’t the only time he did it. He had lots of fun misstating conservative positions and portraying conservatives as murderously violent, queer-hatin’ racists in Grass Roots (1989). And he really went off the deep end in The Run, which was written in 2000.
Too bad I’m addicted to poorly-written trash fiction.

…and to think I used to like Sally Field, and felt bad about all the grief she took for her “You Like Me!” speech at the Oscars when she won her second Oscar for “Places in the Heart.”

She was so incoherent I had no idea she was saying or what the point of that was.

Sure there would…just with fewer bullets and more hair pulling & screeching.
Yay catfight! Y’just _know_ someone’s gonna rip a blouse sometime…war would become a dudes spectator sport…like mud wrestling

What does a high school education entitle you to comment on? If you specialize in a specific field and are succesful, please comment.
Like, say, make believe. She has done well playing dress up and can certainly lecture me about it at her will. Leave global terrorism and the war on such to someone who, I don’t know, works in that field, has experience, education, and maybe some inside knowledge other than mommy wouldn’t let this happen.
Keep your learning impaired tripe to yourself, idiot.

Doug: No term limits for actresses unless we also have them for actors, particularly those whose faces are melting into their necks, yet they’re still starring opposite the twentysomething hotties in action films.
Except Sean Connery. Sean Connery is the exception to every rule.
But back on topic: Wonder how Andrea Yates fits into her worldview of mothers?

Good question. They waited way too long to cut her off.

As any straight man can attest, if women ruled the world there’d still be plenty of wars. They’d just cease to be for discernible reasons.

Hmmmmm…..Sally may have a point.
Instead of war, we’d have catfights. The men would be standing around hoot’n and holler’n and offering to provide the Jello.
I wonder if Sally still fits in her bikini.

At least she had the skill to shut her mouth when she forgot what she was going to say. She could have just continued with
“I personally believe that such as mothers Iraq…”
pedestrian on September 17, 2007 at 12:31 PM
It’s just audio, Sue. Do you hear Sally trying to clarify her statement about mothers ruling the world? Including claiming that “mothers” are not just women because some men have a “mothering mentality” as well? If so, it’s working.

All award shows are pointless. They just need to have one large awards show. The Video Music Grammy Oscar Emmy People Choice Awards. That way, they can have just one big show that people with lives won’t watch anyway.

darwin on September 17, 2007 at 1:08 PM
To paraphrase Laura Ingraham- Shut up and accept
What is it about these idiots that they mistake a superficial awards ceremony with a meeting of the UN? Nobody cares what Ms. Field thinks about world events- that’s not why she got the damned award! We need to return to the days when people understood good manners. In the case of Emmy recipients that means thanking a few people, smiling, and not tripping over the hem of your hideous ball gown.
highhopes on September 17, 2007 at 1:10 PM
On a serious note – we need a strong man to rule the world right now. These light-weights are not serious, nor realistic. Their idealism has blinded them. Our Soldiers protect their freedom to moonbattery.
On a lighter note, if women ruled the world, nothing w/b different.
On an even ligher note – smile.
Entelechy on September 17, 2007 at 1:16 PM
The Emmy’s were right to turn down her mike. I miss the days where not only were the awards shows classy, but the winners of awards were classy, or at least, would act classy while they were accepting their award.
So much for nostalgia.

I don’t know about any of the rest of your mothers, but, if my mother ruled the world, wars would be fought to be won. They would be brutal, quick and complete.
Does anyone else find it funny that feminists yell from the rooftops that there is no difference between men and women, that gender is all a social construct and that there are as many shades/types of women as there are colors in the rainbow and yet, these same feminists seem to be some of the first people shouting that if all the men were gone (or at least removed from power) there would be no more war.
It seems like in one comment she managed to say that all men are the same (war mongers) and that all women are the same (peaceful and loving).
JadeNYU on September 17, 2007 at 1:41 PM
Libs live in a fantasy land anyway. The “mother” statement makes no sense whatsoever and she actually admits to premeditating the comment.

Does Golda Mier count as a woman and/or mother? ‘Cause last I checked, the Yom Kippur War was fought whilst she was PM of Israel.

Here’s the deal. Sally Field has overdosed on BONIVA. Her skull is taking up as lot more space and her gray matter has been displaced. Soon, she’ll be the stereo-typical BONEHEAD. Plenty of bone. Plenty of air. No brain.
Thanks Gidget! Say hi to the Bandit for us.
saved on September 17, 2007 at 2:05 PM
Sorry. Even at her age, she’s still so damn cute I don’t care what she says.
I just want to pinch her cheeks and take her for a cross country trip in a my black Trans Am.
Sure, but those mothers were peace loving before George Bush filled them with righteous anger and forced them to do Allah’s will.
No, not that Allah. The other one.
So as soon as we leave Iraq, you see, they’ll go back to being sweet mamas.
Like Sally Field.
But not as cute.
And they’ll stammer in Arabic, not English.
George Bush hates black people and mothers.
Professor Blather on September 17, 2007 at 2:19 PM
Sally Fields certainly did not come across as eloquent in her speaking skills. Then, again, I have been spoiled by listening to the likes of my wife, and the likes of Michelle Malkin, both of whom can actually carry a thought to its conclusion, and do so will skill and panache.
While watching and listening to the video clip of Fields stammering and making a fool of herself, feeling that she was trying to preach some left wing, antiwar lecture to the rest of us, I asked myself, “Why do so many actors, including those who win acting awards, appear to be of such low intelligence and possessing such weak communication skills when we see them outside of the movie itself?”
Bottom line, perhaps actors are a group rife with people with little in the way of skill, and short in intelligence, which might explain why they gravitate to that “profession” in which they get paid for pretending to be someone else, and pretending to do something that people do in real life, such as a physician, surgeon, musician, dancer, computer network engineer, father, mother, professor, carpenter, and so on.
Also, when Fields claimed that if women ruled the world then there would be no more wars, I thought about all the Islamic violence perpetrated, and encouraged, by women, as one example. So many women have engaged in slaughtering others, or teaching their children to do so. We all know that women do engage in violence, and they have blown themselves up, or praised their children for doing so, as the slaughter of innocents at the hands of Islamic Jihadis continues.
No. The belief that women ruling the world would equal a peaceful world, sans war, is a fantasy, and contradicts the observable reality.

Susan Sarandon is 60 not 70. 61 in October. I had to check, since I still drool over her in Rocky Horror, and I knew I couldn’t possibly be as old as you were making me feel.
Sally Field is also 60, a month younger than Sarandon.
Both look wonderful for their ages.
Hollywood magic can only go so far. Britney Spears is only 25 or so, and look at her. Better yet, don’t.
No need to be catty about their looks just because they’re loony moonbats. Sarandon is still hot, and Field is still cute as Hell.
I’d kick neither out of bed. If I was in a Mrs. Robinson sort of mood. Neither would you.
Assuming, of course, that they promised not to speak.
And let’s be at least a little bit fair: nothing my sweet Sally said is even comparable to the drivel that constantly falls out of Sarandon’s mouth. Sarandon is a full-on Cindy Sheehan-loving America-hating lunatic who’s finest moment came 30 years ago while wearing her underwear and being felt up by a homoerotic Frankenstein’s monster.
Oh. That deserves a visual aid. Mild content warning. I dare you not to enjoy it. (Quit looking at Rocky, Senator):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6m3-jEj2ns
Jeez. The 70s were fun.
Anyway … where was I? Oh.
She’s the enemy these days. A real loon. On the other hand, Sally Field is just, well, a little scatterbrained and misguided. No way in Hell she compares to Sarandon. She is not in Sean Penn/Code Pink territory yet. Not Forrest’s mama.
Just ask Buford T. Justice. And Fred the Bassett hound:

Clearly, Sally has never been in a girls locker room in high school…or worse…junior high school.
Jewel on September 17, 2007 at 3:07 PM
Sally Fields only met if LIBERAL women ruled the world, there would be no wars. See, Sally does not count a woman like Margaret Thatcher, who did pretty well in the Falklands War. Maggie could have taken the Neville Chamberlain route that Sally Fields so admires. But The Iron Lady never blinked, the Falklands stayed part of the UK and the Argentinian military junta dissapeared. And Gold Meir, having seen her country attacked in October 1973, did not go the Neville Chamberlain-George McGovern route. Granted, Israel should have attacked first rather than wait to be attacked but Golda was hardly a pacifist. And Indira Ghandi had quite a few military skirmishes with Pakistan during her reign, some of which were started by India (some were not). And the new President of Germany, Mrs. Merkl is hardly a McGovern liberal a la Sally. It just proves the point. Although everything Sally Fields says is easily disproven, the MSM treats her as a special intellect.

jp on September 17, 2007 at 4:02 PM
Re-posted here from the other Sally Field Un-cut thread:
Her father, Richard Field, was a Captain in the U.S. Army. Her mother was B-movie actress Margaret Field. She’s 61-years old, she’ll be 62 in November ‘07. She’s getting ready to start collecting her social security. She’s 5-feet 2-inches tall. Graduate of Birmingham High School, Van Nuys, California, Class of 1964, Field’s senior class voted her “Class Clown”. She’s currently the spokesperson for “Boniva”, an Osteoporosis drug. She has protested alongside fellow actresses Jane Fonda, Christine Lahti, and playwright Eve Ensler. In February 2007, Sally Fields and Jane Fonda made a pact to not have plastic surgery and just “age gracefully” (after so much plastic surgery leading up to their 60’s, it’s no wonder since they are probably maxed out on the plastic).
Some of her more (in)famous quotes include:
-”When I was born, the doctor looked at my mother and said ‘Congratulations, you have an actor’!”
-”My agent said, ‘You aren’t good enough for movies.’ I said, ‘You’re fired.’”
-(upon accepting her 1985 Best Actress Oscar) “This means so much more to me this time, I don’t know why. I think the first time I hardly felt it because it was all too new. But I want to say ‘thank you’ to you. I haven’t had an orthodox career. And I’ve wanted more than anything to have your respect. The first time I didn’t feel it. But this time I feel it. And I can’t deny the fact that you like me… right now… you really like me. Thank you.”
-”My country is still so repressed. Our idea of what is sexual is blonde hair, long legs, 22 years old, everything to do with teeth and cleavage.”
-”I really have no ulterior motive in taking on certain roles. I have no larger issue that I really want to show people. I’m an actor, that’s all. I just do what I do.”
She’s a typical Hollywood gas-bag bimbo.
eh…. whatever. She’s also a GRiLF! (and she’s not even 22-years old with blonde hair and long legs) o.0
SilverStar830 on September 17, 2007 at 4:46 PM
Try the whole show – Bill Maher in the bathroom, Conin and the truck full of illegals and John Stewart and the Gonzales tapes, jeez, the whole production was an attack on Republicans.
I was surprised when Colbert and Stewart lampooned Al Gore sort of….
AprilOrit on September 17, 2007 at 5:03 PM
By substituting gender in the place of race, this Hollywood misfit [apologies for my redundancy] comes perilously close to Alfred Rosenberg.
Oh, and by the way, Ms. Field, how does your gender-based contempt for warmongering males fit in with Jesus Christ?
OhEssYouCowboys on September 17, 2007 at 5:05 PM
Sally, one correction…
If mothers (women) ran the world, there’d still be wars, but the missiles would be shaped differently.
I remember a comedian doing a whole routine on this that was really funny. Something like: one nation goes to war with another…the other nation asks why, and the response is, “Oh, she knows what she did.”

“I think if mothers ruled the world … and I don’t mean just mothers. There is a mothering mentality in men…”
Uuummmm, I think the word you are looking for, Sally, is fathers. So if mothers ruled the world, and you don’t mean just mothers, you mean fathers too, so if mothers and fathers ruled the world then there would be no wars. She needs better supervision and an “off” switch.

Sally Fields and her ilk simply do not understand the world we live in. Her idealistic concept of women’s values in control over the United States is a sure recipe for weakness, and bloody conflict to rectify the mistake.
Face it, the Human condition is not the idealistic fantasy of “Mothers Can Rule The World” end war, and save humanity. There will always be another Alexander, Cesar, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Hussien. As surely as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west on this planet there will ALWAYS be another despot waiting to engage in conquest. The likes of Sally Fields just “Don’t Get It”, and one guess who will have to pay the price for their stupidity.
