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.

…And San Fran Nan….Oh yeah.
HornetSting on February 6, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Notice how she didn’t even get close to the cameras?
She has no brains and no beauty! She should jump off the nearest California cliff.
Mercy4Me on February 6, 2009 at 4:51 PM
“Republican rule” almost killed her? I suggest she go live under a Taliban or Hussein-type regime — or even Chavez or Castro- and then give an interview about how oppressed she is without intense shame and embarrasment.

Let’s not leave out Crazy Uncle Joe!!! (Biden)
rightwingmom on February 6, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Heh…. living under Bush nearly did her in?
Puuulease….. it’s all that plastic surgery and age, baby. It’s really hard to figure out who is the most stupid, vapid moron in Hollywood.
I saw Cher on Portobello Rd. in London when she was still…. sort of young. She was an ugly skank and has never changed. Not sure she ever had a mind she could claim as her own.
Cody1991 on February 6, 2009 at 4:54 PM
Be nice. I need nice after all that.
By the way, the attribution of the aforementioned recommendations goes to The Race Card (1 – 3) and upinak (4) just in case you ever want to engage them. I guess I should consider the sources to be a viable excuse.
BigD on February 6, 2009 at 4:54 PM
Camera lights are hot. There just would have been a puddle of plastic.
MDWNJ on February 6, 2009 at 4:54 PM
I would love to see this skank smile and have her face break wide open from all the “work” she had done.
Now THAT would be entertainment!
Bicyea on February 6, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Only if she wears one of those hideously “sexy” grandma outfits.. LOL
Califemme on February 6, 2009 at 4:55 PM
All that money and no education.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
She is going for the jigsaw look or what?
lexa on February 6, 2009 at 4:56 PM
Race is usually cranky…but upinak is cool.
Everyone is a little on edge.
HornetSting on February 6, 2009 at 4:57 PM
No Cher, what almost killed you was a botox overdose.
madne0 on February 6, 2009 at 4:57 PM
She has now been added to a long list of actors and actresses, singers, dancers, etc. that I used to like and even love that I will no longer watch or hear. Just seeing them now makes my blood boil and its sad because many I used to really enjoy. I can’t even watch old movies that they were in.
bye bye Cher, join Drew, Ashley, Cameron, Julia, Leo, Sean, Anne Hathaway, Robert Redford, Alex Baldwin, Barbra, etc. on my island of no return.
Ricki on February 6, 2009 at 4:57 PM
If they ever re-make The Life of Brian, I know who should be cast as “Death.”
OhEssYouCowboys on February 6, 2009 at 4:57 PM
Cha Cha Cha Cha Chia!
HornetSting on February 6, 2009 at 4:57 PM
Exactly! If someone as plastic, fake, and shallow as Cher decides to espouse such ignorant tripe then it is well within decorum for us to point out just how much we hate their ignorant hypocrisy, especially from someone so shallow as to spend more money on plastic surgery in a year than most posters on HA will ever make in a lifetime of hard work!
Hey Cher…don’t go away mad…just go away!
Liberty or Death on February 6, 2009 at 4:58 PM
To Cher, a gulag is a place with no Rodeo Drive to shop on. Did anyone really expect her to say something intelligent?
GarandFan on February 6, 2009 at 4:58 PM
IF we’ve lost Cher we’ve lost the country. What are we to do?
Ampersand on February 6, 2009 at 4:59 PM
41 seconds is enough for me!
So Cher has access to Barry and his G.P.A?!
Do tell!
Good luck with those future CD sales!
“Republican rule” almost killed her?
Where’s the gratitude for 7 years of no homeland terrorist attacks?
Half-breed is nothing more then a has-been!

Oops, The Meaning of Life.
OhEssYouCowboys on February 6, 2009 at 5:00 PM
Living proof that face lifts put pressur on the brain that kills brain cells.
Helloyawl on February 6, 2009 at 5:00 PM
She’s already dead.
Zombie Cher.
Greg Toombs on February 6, 2009 at 5:02 PM
Wow, I mean Wow…
How stupid can one get? 1/2 of the country votes Republican, sometimes less, sometimes more. Why do these Hollywood critters alienate themselves from 1/2 of the country? This is one of the reasons why I believe Liberalism is truly a mental disorder!
Keemo on February 6, 2009 at 5:03 PM
If I were Sonny Bono, after living with this Cher person, hell, I’d ski into a tree to end it all….
coldwarrior on February 6, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Does she have a paid cackle fairy following her around? Sonny Bono was better at skiing than picking women.
mike_NC9 on February 6, 2009 at 5:04 PM
…… bad news Cher.. Republicans are on their way back,, and with Obie’s help, its happening real soon.
VTWaldrup on February 6, 2009 at 5:04 PM
You are acting just they way Leftists sterotype conservatives as acting.
Seriously? Don’t be ‘mean’?
OK Mom…
catmman on February 6, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Damn it Fellow GOP’ers! We were so close.
Kasper Hauser on February 6, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Bwuahahahahahaha! Thanks for the laugh. Yeah, Cher always had that ‘Morticia’ thing going.
Cody1991 on February 6, 2009 at 5:07 PM
I can’t decide which is more annoying.
Her answers, or the idiots asking those questions.
bridgetown on February 6, 2009 at 5:10 PM
Nobody likes a squealer.
portlandon on February 6, 2009 at 5:12 PM
I’m not surprised she doesn’t understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. People with little intelligence don’t understand things.
CornFedBeauty on February 6, 2009 at 5:13 PM
Does this mean we now get to see Sharon Stone kissing Halle Berry?
Kafir on February 6, 2009 at 5:18 PM
…unless he’s got a pretty mouth.
Laura in Maryland on February 6, 2009 at 5:20 PM
Cher does indeed look like she’s telling the absolute truth, doesn’t she?
Then again, she gets to be old, which is something Bush wanted everyone to be able to do, and Obama doesn’t.
unclesmrgol on February 6, 2009 at 5:22 PM
Maybe we should cut her some slack. These days, most Republicans don’t want to be Republicans either.
My collie says:
Yeah. She’s almost as creepy as Eva Peron’s corpse.
CyberCipher on February 6, 2009 at 5:28 PM
She’s a mess.
D2Boston on February 6, 2009 at 5:28 PM
Interesting how most of Cher’s successful years occurred while a Republican held Presidential office:
misslizzi on February 6, 2009 at 5:31 PM
I have always thought of Cher as stupid and talentless. Everybody was so gaga over her in the 70s and 80s, and I could never understand why.
Now, after seeing this clip, I have to add mindless and downright hideous to the list of adjectives.
What did Sonny Bono ever see in this moron?
UltimateBob on February 6, 2009 at 5:31 PM
A 3-year farewell tour ?!?!?!?
This repulsive skank really thinks pretty highly of herself, doesn’t she?
UltimateBob on February 6, 2009 at 5:33 PM
Someone explain to me why I or anyone else should give a flying flaming rat’s patootie in space what Cher thinks about virtually anything!
This has-been’s has-been’s has-been is now showing her head is so full of air, she could pretty much lift off and fly away at any given moment!
Not saying this is a bad thing, of course.
pilamaye on February 6, 2009 at 5:35 PM
Wasn’t Sonny a Republican?
JeffWeimer on February 6, 2009 at 5:36 PM
is it possible to tell cher apart from a cher impersonator?
eh on February 6, 2009 at 5:37 PM
I can’t understand why someone would be a Republican.
Uh, you might try watching the video of your interview. Or seeing through a glass, darkly.
…dearie.
davisbr on February 6, 2009 at 5:38 PM
That’s awful! Get in touch with our new POTUS. He’s getting the same treatment and can probably help you out. Maybe a little pep talk from MO will help?
Cody1991 on February 6, 2009 at 5:38 PM
I wouldn’t take Cher’s advice on plastic surgery let alone politics.
DFCtomm on February 6, 2009 at 5:46 PM
Overuse of drugs during the 60′s and overuse of Botox now has resulted in this….a scary old lady with a demented mind and a puffed up face.
UnEasyRider on February 6, 2009 at 5:49 PM
“Republican’s almost killed me”
Another Republican Failure! LOSERS! You should have finished the job! Biggest losers EVER!!!
sabbott on February 6, 2009 at 5:50 PM
I laughed so hard that I fell out of my chair! For Cher to claim ANYONE is unintelligent is like a her claiming that Sonny Bono was tall.
Don’t forget, Sonny Bono was a REPUBLICAN and Cher would have gone NOWHERE without his business sense.
nelsonknows on February 6, 2009 at 5:50 PM
So…you are traveling through life and all of a sudden you find yourself out of breath asking Cher…a…question…and…you…are…hanging…on…every…word…!!!
It’s time to either jump off the biggest building in town or slit your wrists because your life has NO meaning!
sabbott on February 6, 2009 at 5:53 PM
Sonny had the business sense and Cher had the voice. Sonny was a Republican……..Cher really doesn’t know what she is.
SC.Charlie on February 6, 2009 at 6:05 PM
Hey, I know the feeling. I don’t understand why anyone would want to be Cher. Except for the money. But it would have to be a LOT of money. Otherwise, it simply isn’t worth being Cher.
manwithblackhat on February 6, 2009 at 6:14 PM
“Republican’s almost killed me”
…Cher honey can we have another shot at ya…
:)
philly_PA on February 6, 2009 at 6:18 PM
Well these last three weeks living under Dem rule has me looking into just how much insurance coverage I have for mental health issues.
jeanie on February 6, 2009 at 6:18 PM
BATA-BING!
You. Are. So. Right.
Sonny Bono was an American success story like none other. The only person who had confidence in the short, funny looking outsider was himself. Being given no credit for intelligence or talent, he nonetheless succeeded in the music industry, on television, was a restauranteur, the Mayor of Palm Springs, and a Republican Congressman.
After Sonny’s tragic (and unfreakingbelievable) skiing death in 1998, I thought it would be a great idea for Michael J. Fox to play him in a biopic. Fox’s revelation later that year he had Parkinson’s took care of that idea. Maybe another short actor could take on the role (Elijah Wood, maybe?) Since he flirted with Scientology (he says Dianetics made him a better Catholic), you would think Tom Cruise-co-owned United Artists might want to think about it.
Who would play Cher? Hmmm…Genuine Risk passed away last year (j/k)… Despite her vicious feuding with Sonny after their split, her stammering, sincere, and heartbreaking eulogy for Sonny proved she knew what the rest of us already did — she would have been nothing without him.
L.N. Smithee on February 6, 2009 at 6:22 PM
By the way — in that video clip, you can tell that she was about to say “white,” but pulled back.
L.N. Smithee on February 6, 2009 at 6:25 PM
Wow! She needs to get a real life!
obladioblada on February 6, 2009 at 6:30 PM
What did Sonny see in her anyway?
FireBlogger on February 6, 2009 at 6:31 PM
The same Bush who has helped far more women gain the opportunity to receive an education? The same one who as with education has done far more than Clinton when it comes to battling aids in Africa. The same Bush who has been lauded for his fight against the human slave trade? All this without their precious right to an abortion. She is whacked.
Jamson64 on February 6, 2009 at 6:39 PM
All this without losing their precious right to an abortion
Jamson64 on February 6, 2009 at 6:40 PM
Attention Cher:
Nobody cares what you think. Everyone knows that you were born without a brain and without real talent: Sonny provided you with a way to survive these handicaps. Be thankful and shut up.
landlines on February 6, 2009 at 6:46 PM
Are you kidding? Just go to Greenwich Village or the Castro district and pick one.
I thought she was pretty hot in her younger days, but I imagine he also saw talent he could make a buck off of.
Kafir on February 6, 2009 at 6:48 PM
Wasn’t this broad know for singing a song called “Half-Wit”?
perroviejo on February 6, 2009 at 6:57 PM
PIMF
perroviejo on February 6, 2009 at 6:58 PM
Yes, we know. Have a toke, get a new tattoo, slap the maid around. By then it will be morning (1:00PM) again and you will have forgotten all about it. Sigh….
littleguy on February 6, 2009 at 6:59 PM
I just don’t understand how anyone would want to spend so much time under a knife.
tartan on February 6, 2009 at 7:05 PM
The beat goes on, Cher, the beat goes on.
Try to stay relevant.
But don’t think too much, because you might just change party reg like Sonny did.
silverfox on February 6, 2009 at 7:11 PM
Oh please . . . who gives a rat’s backside what this old puffy faced moron thinks or does.
She’s trash.
rplat on February 6, 2009 at 7:16 PM
Unfortunately the spectre of Cher will out live us all in the form of drag queens and ugly female impersonators.
the horror, the horror.
Zorg on February 6, 2009 at 7:16 PM
Too. Funny!
Califemme on February 6, 2009 at 7:18 PM
The trend continues, true believers spouting the greatness of Duh 1 and not providing one shred of evidence or example of such greatness from him…. ever.
Hog Wild on February 6, 2009 at 7:23 PM
This is the face and intellect of the dems…this is it folks…pretty pathetic.
right2bright on February 6, 2009 at 7:43 PM
I blame the drugs, myself. Reality-distorting opioids and other illegal substances obviously have long term health effects.
Mutnodjmet on February 6, 2009 at 7:51 PM
Pity it didn’t succeed.
/really doesn’t feel guilty for saying it
Hawkins1701 on February 6, 2009 at 7:59 PM
She should save America and set herself on fire on the Capital Steps.
Please, this type of garbage is just annoying. How many people were almost killed when she wore skimpy outfits when she was in her mid 50′s with saggy thighs?
Damn, even the thought makes me nauseous.
JP1986UM on February 6, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Now, why would you want to do that to one of the truly edgy political satire music and comedy groups around?
The Capitol Steps, consisting of a couple dozen Congressional staffers started out working D.C. clubs and have now put out about two dozen albums of their comedy work. Probably the ONLY worthwhile thing to come out of Congress in years.
coldwarrior on February 6, 2009 at 9:07 PM
One more Bush failure… You can’t do anything right Mr. Bush!
Claypigeon on February 6, 2009 at 9:07 PM
I didn’t realize the drag queen demographic was large enough for Cher to command a camera and microphone.
Color me surprised.
moxie_neanderthal on February 6, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Maybe she was channeling some of Deon Warwick’s psychic friends. See what to much cosmetic surgery will do to a person. Have we learned nothing from looking at Nancy Pelosi?
Exit question: are we sure this isn’t just some pi$$ed off transvestite that looks like Cher?
milwife88 on February 6, 2009 at 9:12 PM
She is a true Bimbo! I met Cher several times. She has had many face lifts, butt implants, breast implants, Rhinoplasty, you name it she has had it. Looks like she is still drugged up. One of my older sisters dated Greg Alman, before she met him. I was small but remember her coming to the studio and taking Greg aside. Next thing my sister was in the car in tears. I never said anything to her about that. I was real young and my hair was almost to my ankles. I use to sit on Gregs lap and rub my hand on his whiskers. I so wanted to stomp her a**. But left well alone.
sheebe on February 6, 2009 at 9:29 PM
Somewhere Gary Busey is finishing up a tin of cat food and wondering how he too can attract the crossover tranny demographic and resurrect his (ahem) career.
moxie_neanderthal on February 6, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Cher who?…… Like Time Share?
Herb on February 6, 2009 at 9:41 PM
She’s got it wrong.
It’s not Republican Rule that almost killed her – it’s Far Right Fringe Rule that almost killed us all.
AprilOrit on February 6, 2009 at 9:44 PM
I don’t understand how anyone can talk without there face moving.
JellyToast on February 6, 2009 at 9:49 PM
She can’t imagine why anyone would be a Republican? Maybe she should call into Rush Limbaugh’s show and ask him.
That conversation would be either intriguing or amusing.
But I doubt her problem is a lack of information, it’s more likely an unwillingness to try.
A lot, and I mean a LOT of people will believe anything that fits their pre-existing worldview and reject anything that doesn’t – and ironically, a majority of them describe themselves as “open-minded liberals.”
Often, people think conservatives are closed-minded, whereas in reality they really just don’t have time to listen to your recitation of urban legends and/or your ideology.
Merovign on February 6, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Cher is a brainless liberal, too? Say it ain’t so. :P I’m shocked. Seriously… no, really! I’m shocked.
Jockolantern on February 6, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Ya know,when Sher was singing and strutting on the
Battleship,and was straddling,one of the 16″ guns,
she,she looked so smart!!Ahem.
canopfor on February 6, 2009 at 10:11 PM
She’s not, she was always like Dennis Hopper – a registered Republican.
AprilOrit on February 6, 2009 at 10:12 PM
That’s because you don’t live on Planet Earth.
john1schn on February 6, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Bwahahahahaaaa!!!!
Nice try Cher…..but the Oslime-a worship is waning fast and it’s too late for you to try to become relevant again by dropping his name and ragging on republicans.
csdeven on February 6, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Earth to Hollywood:
55 million people did not vote for Obama. And there are still many votes that can be cast. I vote everyday with my feet and my money. I listen to your garbage and then I vote: I don’t go to your show. I don’t watch your movie. I don’t buy the product you endorse. Who the hell am I? I am a REPUBLICAN.
Rockygold on February 6, 2009 at 10:22 PM

Where is Sarah Palin when you need her!
Mr. Joe on February 7, 2009 at 3:44 AM
She’s right about one thing. If you’re a hyphenated American, you go with the Dems, the coalition of ethnic and sexual minorities. The Republicans are the party of people who think of themselves as Americans first. Multi-culturalism is destroying the America that you were born into. To combat racism and discrimination, we threw out the baby with the bathwater. And it might be too late to undo the mistake. This election outcome and all that follows is the result of that mistake.
JiangxiDad on February 7, 2009 at 8:10 AM
You get right down to it, folks, if it wasnt for celebrities, we’d have nothing to laugh at in these dismal times. Other than the usual politicians of course.
