Celebrity news of the day: Angelina Jolie thinks Obama’s a socialist phony
posted at 4:45 pm on November 24, 2009 by Allahpundit
Way, waaay too good to check. Alternate headline: “Confirmed: Angelina Jolie the perfect woman.”
Barack Obama does not have Angelina Jolie’s seal of approval.
“She hates him,” a source close to the U.N. goodwill ambassador, 34, tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now).
“She’s into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise,” adds the source…
“Angie isn’t Republican, but she thinks Obama is all smoke and mirrors,” the source says.
Follow the link for heart-achey reports of political squabbling between her and Brad. Any reason to believe this story might be true (apart from her patrilineage)? Why, yes: Not only did she famously call for the United States to stay put in Iraq in order to avert a humanitarian disaster but she was officially undecided on last year’s election until fairly late in the game. The seeds are there, people. They just need to be nurtured. Get to work, cowboy!

Wow… a welcome surprise.
AbaddonsReign on November 24, 2009 at 4:47 PM
Oh if this is true …
So awesomely awesome I can’t think of what else to say.
darwin on November 24, 2009 at 4:47 PM
So fine!
RalphyBoy on November 24, 2009 at 4:48 PM
Suddenly, the “Tomb Raider” movies don’t completely suck.
lorien1973 on November 24, 2009 at 4:48 PM
Who cares…
90% of Angelina/Brad gossip is made up to keep them in the news…
ninjapirate on November 24, 2009 at 4:48 PM
wow. just cannot be true.
search4truth on November 24, 2009 at 4:48 PM
If I’m asleep, please don’t wake me.
hoakie on November 24, 2009 at 4:48 PM
Angelina for President… She might upset the social conservatives with her views.
TimeTraveler on November 24, 2009 at 4:49 PM
I’m gettin a tingly feeling in my leg… ummm… I think it’s my leg.
WordsMatter on November 24, 2009 at 4:49 PM
Palin/Jolie 2012!
james23 on November 24, 2009 at 4:49 PM
second look at Beowulf…for the story not “the scene” of course.
Muletrain on November 24, 2009 at 4:49 PM
Like slicing guys she has sex with? I gots no problem with that. Come’re baby.
lorien1973 on November 24, 2009 at 4:50 PM
Her father, Jon Voight, is a prominent conservative voice in Hollywood. It’s not surprising that as she gets older, the common sense genes are kicking in.
joe_doufu on November 24, 2009 at 4:50 PM
Sarah who?
rjoco1 on November 24, 2009 at 4:50 PM
Would be kinda hard for Hollywood to ostracize Jolie – her looks, star and draw power, not to mention her Oscar winningness…
Heh.
catmman on November 24, 2009 at 4:50 PM
like hell, Mrs and Ms. Smith unedited unrated version, she has a damned fine rear end. Gotta put up with Mr. Fugly himself though.
Holger on November 24, 2009 at 4:51 PM
This. Hopefully.
El_Terrible on November 24, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Angelina for Sec. of State under Palin!
SouthernGent on November 24, 2009 at 4:51 PM
To bad she didn’t convince her Hollywood friends of this before they stuck him up our backsides.
rplat on November 24, 2009 at 4:51 PM
I guess she isn’t as dumb as I always thought. I still don’t know that she would ever be considered conservative by any means, but nice to know.
jeffn21 on November 24, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Does her father know about this? You know, Jon Voight.
Knucklehead on November 24, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Wait. What? :)~
lorien1973 on November 24, 2009 at 4:52 PM
I don’t care what Hollywierdos think, I really don’t. I could get a more informed opinion from the kid who bags my groceries down at the supermart.
Bishop on November 24, 2009 at 4:52 PM
Umm, what disguise would that be?
LASue on November 24, 2009 at 4:52 PM
Whoa! But then, her father is conservative.
4shoes on November 24, 2009 at 4:52 PM
WOW! That’s out of the blue. First AGW is shown to be a hoax, now this.
Weight of Glory on November 24, 2009 at 4:52 PM
bet she won’t be getting many more jobs in hollywood…
right4life on November 24, 2009 at 4:52 PM
Angelina hates you. Your toast. /sarc
Really, who gives a crap? Even tho it’s nice to hear, it really means nothing. Just brain candy.
Phil-351 on November 24, 2009 at 4:52 PM
Yeah, well…beside being gorgeous, smart, rich, loving kids, and having a awesome Dad, she really has nothing going for her. I hope this is true. Somebody check with Jon.
kingsjester on November 24, 2009 at 4:52 PM
I guess those ocassional weekends with her dad growing up (per the divorce decree) had an impact.
WordsMatter on November 24, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Let’s not go that far…In any movie of hers, has a line she spoke been more than 5-6 words?
lorien1973 on November 24, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Jolie – The spawn of Sarah Palin
faraway on November 24, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Does that make her a UNilf?
mwdiver on November 24, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Hardly in disguise.
kahall on November 24, 2009 at 4:53 PM
too skinny.
pseudonominus on November 24, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Said it a few weeks ago, you would think most actors\actresses would be libertarians. LIberals in the classical sense. I believe she is trying to make\produce Atlas Shrug.
WashJeff on November 24, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Well, this is good news. I wonder what all the mindless Hollywood worshippers will have to say about this.
I never understood why people thought Angelina was so drop dead beautiful. She’s okay.
I’m more of a Halle Berry/Gong Li/Aishwarya Rai kinda guy! …HELLO!
Daddy-O on November 24, 2009 at 4:54 PM
“She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise”
??
in disguise?
hahahaha
i got a great belly laugh out of that one
sidewinder22 on November 24, 2009 at 4:54 PM
I’ve heard her say in the past that she’s not a Democrat or Republican. She’s open to hearing what both sides have to say and then decides on the best candidate. In other words a true independent. And she reportedly enjoyed talking politics with Clint Eastwood(who leans conservative) while making Changling. Add to that the Jon Voight factor, and it’s not surprise she’s not down with Barry.
Doughboy on November 24, 2009 at 4:54 PM
Wow! I may have to re-think adding her movies to my “I could watch” list.
There are so many that I would love to see but I can’t get past the Lib Stars. Its been down hill fo so long
Maybe Angelina will bend the curve.
SayNo2-O on November 24, 2009 at 4:54 PM
I always liked her, guess I need to delete all the torrents of her movies now and actually buy them.
javamartini on November 24, 2009 at 4:54 PM
LOL! Want a real laugh? Forehead Begala was just on CNN and said (and I am not making this up) that the Democrats should keep blaming O’bama’s failures on the evil Boosh for….the next 80 to 90 years?
Can’t make this stuff up, kids. AP, you better find the video and post it for a guaranteed 1000 reply thread.
BTW, Begala’s rationale was that Ronnie Reagan blamed his predecessor for every day of the 8 years he was President. Wonder if CNN will fact-check his claim.
Del Dolemonte on November 24, 2009 at 4:54 PM
Angelinga Jolie is a racist!/s
Caper29 on November 24, 2009 at 4:54 PM
Those Daddy to Daughter talks had some effect after all.
Yephora on November 24, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Okay, this is lovely but let’s don’t go all Sally Field’s Oscar speech over this.
Cindy Munford on November 24, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Yeah, and hasn’t she been mentioned for years as a possibility for Dagny Taggart in an Atlas Shrugged movie?
IU_Conservative on November 24, 2009 at 4:55 PM
The mere thought would kill most men.
portlandon on November 24, 2009 at 4:55 PM
True, and I agree, I couldn’t really care less what the hollywood crowd thinks. Not that they’re capable of that brain function.
4shoes on November 24, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Ah, a woman that is seen and not heard, even more perfect.
Holger on November 24, 2009 at 4:55 PM
That was my first thought after reading the headline as well.
j_galt on November 24, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Not so surprised no doubt her father’s point of view must have rubbed off on her!
Sharr on November 24, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Maybe this can prompt other Hollywood celebs to come out of the conservative closet. Come on, guys and gals. There’s a whole other world out there and there’s plenty of interest in conservative movies/TV.
Sloan Morganstern on November 24, 2009 at 4:56 PM
jon voight rules!!!! smart conservative and star of the best man movie ever – deliverence
squeal like a pig baby
sidewinder22 on November 24, 2009 at 4:56 PM
Doesn’t she live in France? Or at least have a house there. Hmm.
Siobhan on November 24, 2009 at 4:56 PM
True true.
Thanks for reminding me of that rule! :D
lorien1973 on November 24, 2009 at 4:56 PM
Dude.
elduende on November 24, 2009 at 4:57 PM
Hear, Hear! If she’s looking for more agreement in a partner next time she goes off to Africa, I’m available!
michaelo on November 24, 2009 at 4:57 PM
Even though Angelina is a H-wood goofball, I would still give both of BleedsBlue’s arms to see her sans clothing.
Bishop on November 24, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Not surprised. This is the same woman that said (regarding guns),”if someone comes into my home intending to harm me or my family,they’re leaving with holes in them”
oldernwiser on November 24, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Anybody know if she likes helicopters?
exhelodrvr on November 24, 2009 at 4:58 PM
OK.
Before BB gets here let me just go out on a limb; “He will definitely hit it.” I will bet the bank on this one.
Geochelone on November 24, 2009 at 4:58 PM
No need to harm Bleeds Blue. Just rent Gia.
Doughboy on November 24, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Overheard in the Oval Office -
“If I’ve lost Angelina, I’ve lost the nation. . .”
Wind Rider on November 24, 2009 at 4:59 PM
Every Jolie movie in 5 lines:
Sly smile with a boob shot.
She shoots something.
She runs away from something.
Bood shot with a sly smile.
Credits.
lorien1973 on November 24, 2009 at 4:59 PM
Where does she stand on arugula? Mom jeans? nuclear proliferation? The Mummer’s parade?
fogw on November 24, 2009 at 5:00 PM
That’s Jolie post-Oscar win. She was actually racking up an impressive filmography in the mid to late-90s. Even a cheesy movie like Hackers was a lot of fun.
Doughboy on November 24, 2009 at 5:00 PM
Allah’s mentioning “seeds” while drooling over Angelina? Yick!
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on November 24, 2009 at 5:00 PM
Suddenly I find myself looking forward to the next Angelina Jolie movie.
Django on November 24, 2009 at 5:00 PM
AP, there is a God
faraway on November 24, 2009 at 5:00 PM
I’m not 100% sure on this, but she pretty much doesn’t speak to her father anymore.
Estranged I believe.
BigWyo on November 24, 2009 at 5:00 PM
This would not surprise me. I understand Brad is one of those “Woody Harrellson” libertarians (i.e. not a true libertarian, just someone who wants to smoke dope all day and not worry about the consequences). She always struck me as the more intelligent of the two.
UltimateBob on November 24, 2009 at 5:01 PM
Let’s not forget that Brad Pitt is a good Southern boy from Missouri and Oklahoma.
Not exactly a hotbed of socialism.
DelD on November 24, 2009 at 5:01 PM
God I love her…
Firebird on November 24, 2009 at 5:01 PM
I guess she’s been listening to her father?
Erich66 on November 24, 2009 at 5:01 PM
I’m now going to rent every single one of her movies. For purely socio-political reasons, you understand.
princetrumpet on November 24, 2009 at 5:01 PM
I thought he was from Pennsylvania?
UltimateBob on November 24, 2009 at 5:01 PM
Hmmmmm, there`s got to be some cold water to throw on this somewhere……
ThePrez on November 24, 2009 at 5:02 PM
Obama’s real fear of should be of the left. Conservatives have known he’s a phony from the start. Wait until the flood gates of liberal delusion turned to hate start pouring in…..and he deserves every bit of it.
Hening on November 24, 2009 at 5:03 PM
How about a Palin/Jolie ticket in 2012? Too hot to handle?
NNtrancer on November 24, 2009 at 5:03 PM
Too much ink on that ticket.
Doughboy on November 24, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Talk about a winning ticket.
They would kill in the debates. All the opposition could do would be to stare in awe and make babbling sounds.
UltimateBob on November 24, 2009 at 5:04 PM
She could not get any hotter.
RightOFLeft on November 24, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Sorry, I was giddy.
Hening on November 24, 2009 at 5:05 PM
She’s right about Obama: he is all about welfare and handouts. Barry has to have some way to insure his voters stay on the government reservation. And quality education is fine for his own kids, but not for the children of the masses. Can’t have the peons learning how to think for themselves, now can we?
As for Barry’s “disguise,” wearing a Karl Marx mask doesn’t provide much cover for what this guy really is.
AZCoyote on November 24, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Don’t care, but did suspect that she wasn’t totally left-leaning.
Nicole Kidman is also somewhat of a conservative. Methinks Hollywood women are slightly smarter than their male counterparts.
JAM on November 24, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Hey Liam, Here’s another CA female for you to work on converting. ;*)
MarkTheGreat on November 24, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Wow, one quote from a ‘source’ and she’s a SP clone???
Really????
BigWyo on November 24, 2009 at 5:05 PM
St. Angelina Jolie
Apologetic California on November 24, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Holy Crap.
Evidently the apple DOESN’T fall far from the tree.
Good Job, Jon.
HornetSting on November 24, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Palin – Jolie 2012
Now that team could wrap a few world leaders by around their fingers by sweet-talking them, you betcha!
drunyan8315 on November 24, 2009 at 5:06 PM
I told y’all a year ago that AJ was not your typical Hollywood Hypocrite Leftist. She may be a little weird in her personal choices, but SHE ‘puts her money where her mouth is’, and has a fair amount of common sense
As to getting any more jobs in Hollywood; She owns her own successful production company, owns or holds options on some great scripts. Lots of stars ask HER for jobs.
I sound like a fanboy, but I’m not really. Just give credit where credit is due.
LegendHasIt on November 24, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Motherhood seems to have been a very good thing for her.
Cody1991 on November 24, 2009 at 5:07 PM
Slogan: They win. They make out.
100% of the male vote.
lorien1973 on November 24, 2009 at 5:07 PM
What did they do to Jolie when she was in “Beowulf”? I’m guessing she was mostly computer generated, but her voice was great and it looked like her (sans the hair tail).
Hening on November 24, 2009 at 5:07 PM
Works for me.
single stack on November 24, 2009 at 5:07 PM
Hollywood begins to crack?
behiker on November 24, 2009 at 5:07 PM
I don’t understand why he allowed himself to play the stereotypical murdering “evil Republican” senator in the Will Smith movie “Enemy of the State.”
I guess when you’re a conservative in Hollywood, the casting agents aren’t exactly beating a path to your door.
UltimateBob on November 24, 2009 at 5:07 PM
I didn’t care about her opinion before and I don’t care about her opinion now.
patriette on November 24, 2009 at 5:07 PM
Maybe she’s upset she wasn’t invited to Obama’s Hollywood-fest and payoff at the White House.
Hell hath no fury…
booter on November 24, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Well her opinion doesn’t matter at all to me, but it’s kinda nice to see some in H-wood don’t tow the total liberal line.
She can see through BO I’ll wager bcs she’s been overseas to see what life’s really like for people in despotic places.
I’ve always gotten the impression she really cares about people in 3rd world countries.
