Has-been: Living under Republican rule almost killed me
posted at 4:10 pm on February 6, 2009 by Allahpundit
Via CNS. I’m straining for something incisive to say but it’s so dispiritingly predictable, from the faux melodrama of life in Bush’s gulag to the patronizing cultist fawning over The One’s “spirit,” that I’m at a loss. Doesn’t the entire entertainment establishment feel this way? Isn’t that the whole point of Breitbart’s new site? Nothing to see here, move along.
Update (Ed): Proving, yet again, that Sonny had all the brains.

Isn’t her ex-husband’s widow a Republican Congresswoman?

Gypsies, tramps and thieves …
BigD on February 6, 2009 at 4:14 PM
Thats funny, I thought Cher died 6 years ago. Maybe its all the botox ,drugs & embalming fluid giving her the longevity. Isn’t she Joan Rivers sister?
portlandon on February 6, 2009 at 4:14 PM
So how much more time under Republicans would it have taken Cher? Are we talking days? Months? Years? Help me out here.
rihar on February 6, 2009 at 4:15 PM
The best part of her, unfortunately, skied into a tree.
MDWNJ on February 6, 2009 at 4:15 PM
She looks crazy, old and has not a clue in the world what she is talking about. Why does anyone bother to ask her opinion but for the sheer comedy of the moment.
msmveritas on February 6, 2009 at 4:15 PM
What a useless piece of human debris.
HAHAHA OH WOW on February 6, 2009 at 4:15 PM
She keeps saying “I think”. She doesn’t.
stonemeister on February 6, 2009 at 4:15 PM
Wow, makes me wish for one more term for Republicans!!! LOL
HarryStar on February 6, 2009 at 4:15 PM
They just don’t go away, do they?
Sanjoboy on February 6, 2009 at 4:16 PM
I’m straining for something incisive to say…
How about, “Shut your putrid, botox enhanced ****holster you flaiming douche-nozzle!”
Forgive for the crassness of the post, but listening to this and having the week at work I’m having…
I. Have. Had. Enough. Of. This. Garbage!

Her ex-husband was a Republican too… Maybe that’s part of it.

She was born in the wagon of a travelin’ show
Her momma had to dance for the money they’d throw.

The rich celebrities say this crap so the “poor democrats” will love them and buy their crappy songs so the rich celebrity can go live in Malibu in their $5 Million beach house. Hypocrites all the way – it is called acting – and not very good acting at that. Obama is already killing me and it has only been two weeks. The agony caused by the ONE. Make it stop.
izoneguy on February 6, 2009 at 4:17 PM
One difference at least is that Joan Rivers is intentionally funny.
Patrick S on February 6, 2009 at 4:17 PM
She belongs in a wax museum, with all the other plastic people in tinkletown.
In 2000 years, man will be excavating what was once California, and they will find landfills of silicone and plastic from all the Hollywood types trying to remain forever 12 years old.
TheHat on February 6, 2009 at 4:17 PM
Ironic. Her music has almost killed me every time I’ve been forced to endure “Life After Love” or “If I Could Turn Back Time.”
HuskerNate on February 6, 2009 at 4:18 PM
Oh gawd. Notice her loss for words at 1:25. “If you’re not a rich,….I don’t know…born again Christian.”
Ha! She was going to say “rich, white” but then remembered she would be describing herself!!
Too much botox on the brain.
Brat on February 6, 2009 at 4:20 PM
Are you sure it wasn’t the botox, latex, silicon or some of the other crap you’ve injected or had implanted in your body?
You should furrow your brow and think about it. Oh wait………
BacaDog on February 6, 2009 at 4:20 PM
I wonder what her house is worth (and I’m probably mistaken in assuming that she has only one). Why don’t all these wealthy Hollywood democrats put their bank accounts where they claim their politics are? Or do they want all the regular schmucks to pay for the “dreams” they want for everyone, except themselves, of course? The idiotic hypocrisy of these fools never ceases to amaze me, but even more amazing is why they think their opinions about politics matter to anyone else.
ProfessorMiao on February 6, 2009 at 4:21 PM
How in the world does she even talk with those blown up lips?
ctmom on February 6, 2009 at 4:21 PM
“I just don’t understand how anyone would want to
be a Republicaninterview Cher.”CP on February 6, 2009 at 4:21 PM
Indeed. Politics was not something she and Sonny shared, though she probably supported his widow’s most famous accomplishment: Making sure their songs would never stop earning them money, one of the most anti-free-market things that could have been done (as noted by Friedman himself: Google “Friedman no-brainer”). Sadly, though the “pro-gay” Cher was devastated over their daughter’s lesbianism and Sonny accepted it instantly, politics caused the estrangement of the daughter from Sonny. I’d think that she of all people would want to avoid unnecessary political jibes.
calbear on February 6, 2009 at 4:21 PM
Man, life must have been so hard with all those millions in the bank and all that plastic surgery she’s had.
If Cher can’t understand why people are Republicans, I can’t understand how Cher is so stupid.
Lay-Z on February 6, 2009 at 4:21 PM
Does botox cause your brain to go smooth? If you cant move your face and show emotion, then surely it wont allow new wrinkles on the brain right?
TheHat on February 6, 2009 at 4:22 PM
Oof. Good shot.
LimeyGeek on February 6, 2009 at 4:23 PM
What a douche bag she is! No insult to the douche bag.
generouse on February 6, 2009 at 4:23 PM
Yeah, well I don’t understand how anyone would want to be a plastic whore that hasn’t done anything for years yet has the audacity to think what she says is relevant or worth anything…oh and don’t let the fact you used Sonny to get what you wanted and then threw him out like he was yesterday’s trash!
Whatever you shallow biatch, just don’t stand too close to your fireplace or you’ll melt that plastic heart and brain of yours along with the rest of your fake body parts!
Liberty or Death on February 6, 2009 at 4:23 PM
Sonny Bono was a Republican Congressman.

BL@KBIRD on February 6, 2009 at 4:25 PM
Agree. Isn’t she like 102? and trying to look like she’s 22. Ick.
conservative pilgrim on February 6, 2009 at 4:25 PM
hahaha…Cher trying to be political? Give me a break. I guess I’ll be burning her CD’s….and damn! I spent money to go to her concert a few yrs back.
becki51758 on February 6, 2009 at 4:25 PM
With all of her botox, I’m surprised that she can still utter a sentence.
OhEssYouCowboys on February 6, 2009 at 4:27 PM
You have her CDs? How sad ;)

P.S. Is there any way that we can hasten the collapse of Hollywood, into the sea?
OhEssYouCowboys on February 6, 2009 at 4:28 PM
That means the Republicans almost succeeded.
Damn, missed it by that much.
thirteen28 on February 6, 2009 at 4:28 PM
“Republicans almost killed me.”
“I don’t know why anyone would want to be a Republican.”
<sarcasm>
Does the first statement answer the second?
</sarcasm>
No, I’m not being serious.
dirc on February 6, 2009 at 4:28 PM
I thought she was dead already. That’s the only way I’ll ever be able to make anything off those old 78s she and Sonny made.
AubieJon on February 6, 2009 at 4:30 PM
Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Have we ever established that Cher Bono :O) and Nancy Pelosi have been at different sites, at the same time?
OhEssYouCowboys on February 6, 2009 at 4:30 PM
Don’t pick on Joan. Her best line was about Cher:
“Uh, one more facelift and she’ll have a goatee!”
Laura in Maryland on February 6, 2009 at 4:30 PM
Her poor kids wouldn’t have turned out so completely screwed up if she’d been a bit more conservative during their upbringing.

I want to ship every one of these God damn liberl actors
over to IRAN..
I wonder if cher would feel at home?
actually she looks so drugged and brain dead
she would proably fit right in..
jcila on February 6, 2009 at 4:32 PM
Cher needs a history lesson…like she cares.
Liberals never listen to the truth.
EXCACTLY HOW did Republicans “almost kill” her???
She’s sipping Demi Moore and Ashley Judd’s Kool-aid!
rightwingmom on February 6, 2009 at 4:32 PM
While I found her statements reprehensible and pitiful, some of the comments here on HotAir are downright mean spirited and embarrassing.
Come on guys – lay off her looks and focus on her ideas and actions. Be constructive, not mean spirited. You are acting just they way Leftists sterotype conservatives as acting.
Aren’t some of you embarrassed by your comments? Are your words worthy of your ideals? Would you be embarrassed if your kids found out what you wrote?
ksm on February 6, 2009 at 4:33 PM
Almost? It’s a shame they didn’t finish the job.
RWLA on February 6, 2009 at 4:33 PM
Well, Cher, we all have our trials and tribulations!
Whyn’cha go have another tuck of something, or go back to the middle schools in search of your next lover, and shut the hell up!
TeeDee on February 6, 2009 at 4:34 PM
I love what Andrew Wilkow says. Instead of limiting the pay of CEO’s, how about limiting the pay of Hollywood actors, agents, directors, etc?
RWLA on February 6, 2009 at 4:34 PM
and we care what this person has to say because……?
Yeah, I could give a flying crap but because there are in fact drones out there who believe Cher of all people is someone who should influence their thought, I guess it is notable to an extent.
Meh, whatever.
Texas74 on February 6, 2009 at 4:35 PM
BTW – Her mouth is really her belly button. LOL!!!
rightwingmom on February 6, 2009 at 4:35 PM
the question begs itself–WHY would anyone have her CDs and pay money to hear her “sing”???
conservative pilgrim on February 6, 2009 at 4:35 PM
Nothing to forgive catmman, you’re just telling it like it is in a very expressive, articulate, and accurate manner…carry on my friend!
Liberty or Death on February 6, 2009 at 4:35 PM
KSM — I don’t know if you are new to HotAir, but it can be brutal. Today, having participated in several discussion threads during which I have made constructive comments and used not a word of profanity, I have been told to:
1) pull up my panties
2) wipe the blood of my butt
3) pull my head out of my a**, and
4) STFU
I complained to Ed and AP and it apparently didn’t bother them.
BigD on February 6, 2009 at 4:37 PM
And the Bleat Goes On
Christien on February 6, 2009 at 4:37 PM
Maybe the quotes about her looks have something to do with how superficial these pissants are. While they decry how evil Conservatives are and how little they contribute to society, they go get another skin job.
I’d say that it is a perfect commentary on how ridiculous and superficial their opinions are. By their very faces, they show what is and isn’t important in their lives.
OhEssYouCowboys on February 6, 2009 at 4:38 PM
Wait, do she mean it almost killed HER … or does she mean her CAREER?
Because that was ALREADY dead!
Tony737 on February 6, 2009 at 4:38 PM
Yes, Sister Finklestein.

His spirit, His spirit, His spirit, His spirit!!!
These douchebags are broken records. Imagine following a 14-year-old girl around and have a microphone at-the-ready every time she thinks she has something profound to say. Only this woman is 60+ years old, a bad face lift and has far less germane blather. I wonder how she’ll feel about his “spirit” and “intelligence” when he leaves this country is worse shape than when he took charge.

Still though, that’s one sick case.
Chaz706 on February 6, 2009 at 4:42 PM
It’s okay, you just need to toughen up, you bunch of panseys! (Maybe you could use some of Obama’s Chicago grit ;)
Laura in Maryland on February 6, 2009 at 4:43 PM
Eh. Let’s be realistic.
Most of these people couldn’t explain the difference between Democrats and Republicans. Most of them could never define liberalism or conservatism or any other political ideology.
They don’t know. They don’t care. It’s just a club they belong to, and since they’re in it, they can’t figure out why anybody would be in the other club.
There’s no point in getting in a dither over their opinions, because they don’t even have opinions. They just follow the herd and say what they’re told to say.
They don’t even know what any of it means. It’s just noise.
Professor Blather on February 6, 2009 at 4:43 PM
Why am I a Republican?
Because you’re not, Cher. That’s why.
MadisonConservative on February 6, 2009 at 4:44 PM
Botox pierces the Blood-Brain barrier and paralyzes the exposed neurons. The classic example of this chemically induced brain freeze is Nancy Pelosi.

Lay off her looks? Her vanity repulses me! Her Botox budget could feed a small village for a year!
I don’t set my moral compass by what any half-wit Hollyweird elitist says! I’m too busy raising my boys (with my husband) to be REAL men!

I think most of us used to agree with you, but after W’s treatment for the last 8 years, I’m thinking most of us are feeling ready to get down in the gutter with the lefties. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but it sure feels good to spew some hate back their way.
And personally, I don’t care, but I am still offended over that music video (or soft porn) she did on that aircraft carrier… yeeeech!

As they say about the heat in the kitchen. I try not to use profanity but sometimes it seem appropriate, stupid liberals can be so fustrating. Anyway no one forced you to come here so if you don’t like what you read, go to another thread or elsewhere. Just don’t lecture.

Living under liberal rule will definitely kill a lot of us.
promachus on February 6, 2009 at 4:50 PM
So speaking the unabashed and non-PC truth about someone that is as shallow, fake, and ignorant as Cher is something to be embarrased about?
If I showed my 20 year old son whatI wrote he’d laugh and nod in agreement. Cher and the rest of the plastic Hollweird loons deserve such ridicule (no matter how juvenile) when these ingrates spit on the very nation and people that made them rich and famous…I feel absolutely no remorse for what I said about the plastic one!
Liberty or Death on February 6, 2009 at 4:50 PM
