Bad news: Princess Leia hates racist “teabaggers”
posted at 8:30 pm on June 14, 2010 by Allahpundit
Not a surprise, but I’m not going to lie to you. This one hurts.
What’s happened to the world where Leia is on the side of the Empire, my friends?
Is there anyone you haven’t met that you’ve always wanted to?
Obama.I’m surprised you haven’t met him.
I know. I love him. Hopefully I’ll meet him sometime. I’m just happy he exists.Do you think Tea Party is just people who are pissed that there is an African American president?
Yup, and the fact that they chose to call themselves “teabaggers,” which is slang for a certain act involving b***s. It sort of says a lot. I would say a mouthful. Looks like it’s very upsetting for them, but he’s brilliant. The thing is, he’s half white but that’s still not enough — for them it’s all white or f**k off. I think we don’t deserve him and certainly teabaggers don’t deserve him.
Mind you, Carrie Fisher is known for being something of a wit and raconteur, yet when it comes to tea partiers, her schtick is warmed-over Garofalo with a side order of balls-in-the-mouth humor that MSNBC was pushing eight months ago. In fact, at this point, I think that’s my biggest objection to it. If you’re going to smear millions of people in one fell swoop, at least be entertaining about it. Toss in a “Dick Armey” pun, which has only been done half a million times compared to the million “teabagger” jokes. Dazzle me.
Between this, George Lucas calling Obama his hero, and Harrison Ford getting on The One for not passing ObamaCare quickly enough, is there anyone left in the Star Wars universe to feel warmly about? Threepio, maybe? He’s got sort of a Brooks/Frum centrist conservative vibe going on.

Oh crap. She’s off her meds again.
Trainwreck on June 14, 2010 at 10:09 PM
I have news for her. Obama is not “brilliant”. He is far from it. It has nothing to do with his race.
MeAlice on June 14, 2010 at 10:09 PM
You would have thought Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher could have has a hotter daughter .
borntoraisehogs on June 14, 2010 at 10:12 PM
Well, Carrie and I do agree about one thing. We don’t deserve Obama.
azkag on June 14, 2010 at 10:13 PM
I know I can’t be the only guy who clicked on your name to find out what you look like. For curiosity’s sake, of course. I’m very happily married.
But as far as I’m concerned, you are Princess Leia. Not that washed-up nutjob.
ynot4tony2 on June 14, 2010 at 10:16 PM
We should care what a brain dead drug addict thinks?
Hobbes on June 14, 2010 at 10:19 PM
Oh yeah, I forgot about Cliff Clavin. He was in the beginning of Empire. He’s a conservative and a frequent Tea Party attendee.
If you count the prequels(I’d prefer not to), Christopher Lee reportedly supports the Conservative Party in Britain.
Doughboy on June 14, 2010 at 10:21 PM
AP,
Well, those are some pathetic comments on her part…
Even more pathetic, I’m still in love with Princess Leia. Met her briefly at an autograph signing and she was clearly on strong medication of some sort.
John on June 14, 2010 at 10:21 PM
Misinformed, vacuously opinionated, idol-worshipping schmuckette.
The usual Hollywood airhead.
profitsbeard on June 14, 2010 at 10:22 PM
She is…on the side of the “Emperor”. She doesn’t realize how nakid he is, especially in the brain.
She needs to read this, though, because she’s also aflicted, won’t get it.
Schadenfreude on June 14, 2010 at 10:24 PM
Gettin’ old and starting to really think about death….
Guilt and how to rationalize it 101.
BigWyo on June 14, 2010 at 10:26 PM
James Earl Jones is I believe a conservative.
18-1 on June 14, 2010 at 9:42 PM
That may be, but he certainly does resemble Colin Powell , (who we now know is not).
cableguy615 on June 14, 2010 at 10:26 PM
Watched the first Star Wars, once. It was corny and juvenile, just the way kids under 10 like it. Definitely the worst movie Harrison Ford was in.
As for Carrie Fisher, her only claim to fame was this 1977 campy kiddie flick. By 1982 her talents relegated her to doing appearances on Laverne and Shirley, and 1997 she couldn’t even get credited for her appearance in Austin Power, IMOM. Her big comeback was, what, 5 minutes in The Blues Brothers?
Talk to the hand, Carrie.
Dusty on June 14, 2010 at 10:27 PM
She needs to drop more acid.
Metro on June 14, 2010 at 10:31 PM
It says that you are an idiot, Fisher.
Blake on June 14, 2010 at 10:33 PM
They chose to call themselves teabaggers? Huh?
Potfry on June 14, 2010 at 10:35 PM
Coming from someone who volunteered for a part in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - color me unimpressed with her political ‘savvy’.
catmman on June 14, 2010 at 10:36 PM
She hasn’t been hot for years, AP.
Deal.
Bruno Strozek on June 14, 2010 at 10:38 PM
They chose to call themselves teabaggers? Huh?
Potfry on June 14, 2010 at 10:35 PM
Exactly. You’d think someone who obviously thinks highly of her own opinion would at least be well informed. But since Fisher loves Obama, we know she isn’t informed at all.
Just another head-up-her-rear Hollywood elitist.
NebCon on June 14, 2010 at 10:43 PM
Just clicked the link to view the pictures and was shocked at Fisher’s appearance. She has either done some serious drugs in her day or has some serious thyroid problems. “Skank” doesn’t do her justice.
WarEagle01 on June 14, 2010 at 10:46 PM
She’s a whore and an actress maybe, but she is definitely not Leia.
ray on June 14, 2010 at 10:46 PM
You would be a miserable self-hating leftard, too, if the love of your life, the father of your child, walked out on you and into the arms of “Pinto”
Blake on June 14, 2010 at 10:49 PM
If Angelina Jolie had said that, then we would have a problem.
AshleyTKing on June 14, 2010 at 10:52 PM
She has had a fairly successful career as a writer and a ghost writer.
Blake on June 14, 2010 at 10:54 PM
Admit it…we liked her best as a slave, so who cares what she thinks?
James on June 14, 2010 at 10:54 PM
Channeling Luke from ESB when he finds out Darth Vader is his father:

Rightwingguy on June 14, 2010 at 10:56 PM
Teabaggers?
Space balls!
profitsbeard on June 14, 2010 at 11:01 PM
Huh? Not very well informed, is she?
exdeadhead on June 14, 2010 at 11:02 PM
I just wish he’d decide whether to call himself Anthony Daniels or Theodore Dalrymple. Pick one, dude.
Jobius on June 14, 2010 at 11:02 PM
I really hate to admit this, but in a way she is correct. I don’t have a link, and I don’t want to get flamed for this, but the first time I remember anybody using the term “teabagger” it was Fox News producer Griff Jenkins. I really don’t think he knew what he was saying, but I remember him saying it while holding up a tea bag and encouraging people to “tea bag the Whitehouse”. I cringed when he said it, and I thought, “oh crap, this is going to stick”.
The rest of Ms. Fisher’s diatribe is complete horsecrap. Just another lefty idiot blathering about the supposed “brilliance” of the Teleprompter Reader in Chief.
PburgJason on June 14, 2010 at 11:06 PM
Wasted money seeing her ranting show in DC a couple of years ago…whined about being a poor little Hollywood rich girl…whined about Star Wars fame…and proudly bragged about having an affair…with…Chris Dodd!
DCJeff on June 14, 2010 at 11:11 PM
That’s okay, I hate Hollywood. I can prove it by my lack of movie ticket stubs.
TN Mom on June 14, 2010 at 11:30 PM
This is so upsetting.
Um, Mark Hamill? Care to weigh in or will you allow me to believe my fantasy that you’re an okay dude? I mean, he was and is the best Joker ever (notwithstanding the talented Mr. Ledger), so that’s got to count for something.
Harrison Ford, though…. I knew there was no hope for him when he became romantically involved with a creepy skeleton like Calista Flockhart. EEEEEEEEW.
Join the Rebel Alliance, Princess Leia! The Force is with us!
Animator Girl on June 14, 2010 at 11:31 PM
Just another spoiled Hollywood Princess. I really felt sorry that she didn’t inherit the good-looking genes of either of her parents, but looks or not, she is not stupid-just brainwashed by the poisonous glittrerati climate.The saying is she is “smart but certainly not wise.” (and awfully spoiled to boot.)
MaiDee on June 14, 2010 at 11:33 PM
Here’s a nugget from her IMDb bio:
Nut.
Ward Cleaver on June 14, 2010 at 11:43 PM
Oh, and if Obama is “so brilliant”, why hasn’t he demanded the democrats pass a budget this year? Why is he asking congress for $50 BILLION MORE MONEY for jobs when there is still money from the FIRST Stimulus, which of course failed to (as promised by Obama) keep unemployment at EIGHT percent?
TN Mom on June 14, 2010 at 11:43 PM
If that’s the case, then it’s still not the members choosing the name, but someone reporting on them.
I only saw the original SW, and that was a theater in 1977. I have no fond memories of this hag.
TugboatPhil on June 14, 2010 at 11:47 PM
…a nit worth picking (which has probably already been picked to death already, but I haven’t read all the posts, so here goes): “teabagger” was a term hung on the movement by the opposition….
…mind you, this is an old political tradition, being named something uncomplimentary by the opposition…”tories” are actually border reivers (bandits) on the Scottish/English border…and “whigs” or “whiggamor” are variously described either as cattle drovers or “narrow Scottish presbyterians”, as one of my sources has it…the Dems even got their donkey because someone said that Andy Jackson — THE Democrat for a hundred years, until FDR slouched into view — resembled a jackass (“jack-son”/”jack-ass”, I can see it)…he liked the comparison….
…Michigan-ites (-aners? -ians?) were called “wolverines” originally as a term of derision, as the actually critter is nasty, smelly and unpleasant…they’re also fierce, which I suppose appeals to folks from Michigan….
…anyway, being compared to the passive partner in a sex-act, swishing a scrotum in ones pie hole, is beyond the pale.
Isn’t it interesting that those who most support homosexuality — activist homosexuals and those who enable them — can think of no fouler insult than to compare the “enemy” to themselves?
…anyway, I can’t see why anyone would care what a woman with a rather extensive history of drug abuse and other questionable personal judgment issues would think. “Star Wars”? How very ’70′s…we’ve moved on from leisure suits and pet rocks, even if Mr. Lucas hasn’t…he only resurface long enough to make a mint by running his own series into the toilet….
…Obama “brilliant”? On Tantooine, maybe….
Puritan1648 on June 14, 2010 at 11:56 PM
I have to admit, of all the complete and utter dumb bullsh*t that’s been spewed by complete and utter dumb Hollywood bullsh*tters over the past year, this just about takes the cake.
What is this deep affinity that actors have with Obama? Is it that they both make their living by reading from a script?
Sharke on June 15, 2010 at 12:09 AM
True enough. We deserve a whole lot better: Sarah Palin!
What do we expect from Darth Vader’s daughter?
Steve Z on June 15, 2010 at 12:14 AM
Got news for you: Leia was never very hot.
Liberals are perverts, notice how easily they fly with foul descriptions?
Obama is not very smart. She obviously hasn’t been observing him very much.
scotash on June 15, 2010 at 12:48 AM
Actually they labeled us as the active partner. The teabaggee would be passive, like Tingles or AC.
TugboatPhil on June 15, 2010 at 12:57 AM
You do realize that going to college to get an acting degree is not the same as going to college to get an education.
Logboy on June 15, 2010 at 1:29 AM
Two points.
One, most actors are neither well educated or well informed. They are basically trained monkeys who can read lines, possibly remember them, and do a funny dance every now and then.
Second, Star War was the most over rated drivel ever put on film. I was finally forced to watch that mess a few years back. I have never been so underwhelmed in my life. Even the first Star Trek movie, which was just a rehash of an old TV episode sucked less. At least they got better.
Pour Carrie another scotch and let her go.
gary4205 on June 15, 2010 at 1:30 AM
How about non-racist teabaggers?
V-rod on June 15, 2010 at 1:32 AM
This from the interview, and we care about her addled opinion?
Please!
skeeter on June 15, 2010 at 2:16 AM
I cannot stand to watch Star Wars any longer with these folks in it….what a waste of time. They owe their freedom to folks like Reagan and Bush… And they will lose their fortunes with Obama, and won’t find out till it is too late.
dec5 on June 15, 2010 at 2:22 AM
Oh . . .Break my heart why don’t ya Carrie.
Bwhahahahah Snort wipe.
Stupid drug infected twit with a following is the scary part.

Hollywood’s Idiocracy will never turn against their king. They’ll be the last ones left by his side at the end of this term.

Idiot
petefrt on June 15, 2010 at 7:24 AM
She sounds like an idiot. Expressing your opinion is one thing but sounding like a junior high know it all when you do it is quite another. Her classiness is only out shone by her irrelevance.
jeanie on June 15, 2010 at 7:30 AM
I’d rather be a teabagger than get screwed by Obama.
Pcoop on June 15, 2010 at 7:45 AM
Who gives a f-ck about what anyone who plays dress up for a living has to say?

Sorry pal, but Obama and the dems will not allow them to lose their fortunes…Hollywood has been given tax credit and support for decades.
Do you really think that Obama would tax Oprah?

mechkiller_k on June 15, 2010 at 9:37 AM
If by “brilliant” she means a “steaming, stinking, boiling pot of incompetence” then I completely agree.
drocity on June 15, 2010 at 9:41 AM
But let’s face it. She hasn’t been right since she found out Luke was her brother.
drocity on June 15, 2010 at 9:41 AM
If any Star Wars character should be in the tank for the teabaggers, it should be “Chew-Bacca” but I heard he’s a Palin supporter who believes in “drill baby drill.”
bobnox on June 15, 2010 at 9:52 AM
It is always surprising how has-been actors and actresses will go to any length to draw any semblance of attention to themselves by removing all doubt they have a single digit IQ. Seems that the farther down the ladder they fall, the dumber they become. Being irrelevant becomes a fact of life.
volsense on June 15, 2010 at 10:15 AM
Well, she’s right about one thing: We don’t deserve Him.
Hucklebuck on June 15, 2010 at 10:26 AM
Off?
Wasn’t she known for doing at least one of the Star Wars movies stoned?
Count to 10 on June 15, 2010 at 10:33 AM
Star Wars was good. Accidentally good, mind you, but good.
Count to 10 on June 15, 2010 at 10:38 AM
Didn’t she use to be someone famous?

She peaked in the womb.
itsspideyman on June 15, 2010 at 11:40 AM
No, she’s not correct. Because you heard one person say it doesn’t mean that everyone else calls or every called themselves that vulgar name. You deserve to be flamed.
Blake on June 15, 2010 at 11:42 AM
At least they don’t try to hide their complete ignorance.
TheBigOldDog on June 15, 2010 at 11:51 AM
Fisher is an actress, i.e. a mirror-gazer. Who cares what she thinks?

Could it be that Emperor Palpatine and the dark Sith are actually on the side of Tea Party?

And, who the heck cares what she thinks? Let Obama confiscate Hollywood’s windfall profits when they have a blockbuster hit and limit what the Hollywood stars are paid.
SC.Charlie on June 15, 2010 at 12:10 PM
Fisher…Fisher….waitaminute. Wasn’t her Dad the slightly talented Eddie Fisher and her Mom the incredibly talented Debbie Reynolds? Too bad she took after her Dad.
kingsjester on June 15, 2010 at 12:11 PM
She has had a rather rough life in the mental illness realm.
SC.Charlie on June 15, 2010 at 12:13 PM
I know Carrie and I like her. Her political views have always been well known as far as I know. She takes some vicious swipes at Republicans in her current one woman show. But what does anyone expect? She has lived her entire life in the liberal Hollywood bubble and is the first to admit that she is not exactly a stable person. There have been studies indicating that most people who identify themselves as having mental problems are liberal and Carrie is hardly the sole poster child for demonstrating the veracity of that study in Hollywood.
Don’t forget that the guy who died of an overdose at her house a few years ago was a Republican fundraiser.
PoodleSkirt on June 15, 2010 at 12:18 PM
“Help me Obama, you’re my only hope.”
jeffn21 on June 15, 2010 at 12:23 PM
Can someone explain why we should give a shit what another actor thinks. They are actors because they are absolutely clueless as to who they are. They spend their entire lives trying to be someone else in the hope they will find themselves.
Move along folks, these are not the ideas you looking for.
belad on June 15, 2010 at 12:28 PM
Carrie WHO?
Oh, you mean the washed up actor who hasn’t had a gig in how many decades?
Why do people care what actors think? They don’t, they only read their lines.
p51d007 on June 15, 2010 at 12:35 PM
Here’s a postcard back to the edge for you, Princess. There’s no way I could care less what you think about me.
Further, Princess, if you knew what the hell you were talking about, you would know that the Tea Partiers do NOT refer to themselves as “teabaggers.” That term is only uttered by angry lefty cry-babies.
Oink on June 15, 2010 at 12:37 PM
Sometimes the Hollywood left, like Carrie Fischer is so woefully ignorant that it’s almost impossible to hold anything against them. On the other end you have your Penns and Clooneys that know better and are just pure evil.
rollthedice on June 15, 2010 at 12:46 PM
PburgJason on June 15, 2010 at 12:48 PM
According to the soon to be released book “The making of the Empire Strikes Back” as well as her own autobiographies, she spent the entire shoot on either LSD or opiates or both. She was so messed up that she couldn’t even remember her lines most of the time. She had a major problem with mind altering drugs and it would be a miracle if her brain is not permanently fried. I’m not surprised she is a hateful liberal.
But who cares what Hollywood thinks. The original Star Wars movies were excellent and Princess Leia was a hottie.
Spectreman on June 15, 2010 at 12:49 PM
Back to real life actors.
Harrison Ford is the bigger disappointment. Not surprised, but that don’t jive with most of the characters he’s done.
A good thing that he’s an ‘actor’.
Sir Napsalot on June 15, 2010 at 12:51 PM
Chewwy & R2 were the only conservatives in the entire original Star Wars series. Not liking what the “adults” had to say, Lucas preferred to muzzle their sides of the arguments, not unlike in the Peanuts serials whenever the teacher had a point to make.
Think about it. R2 was always bang-on, yet NEVER was he given the chance to voice his opinions beyond a few squeaks, blurps, or beeps.
That’s today’s conservative voice, in a nutshell.
Or, if you prefer, futuristic, metalic-composite, android casing.
ChipDWood on June 15, 2010 at 12:54 PM
A covert racist has her say….
DL13 on June 15, 2010 at 12:55 PM
OK, well, cheer up– I think there’s some common ground here.
morganfrost on June 15, 2010 at 1:07 PM
This just goes to prove that R2D2 was the only with any real intelligence.

What was the expression? “A mind so shallow as to be all surface”?
JEM on June 15, 2010 at 1:25 PM
Fisher is an embarrassment to herself, and her family. This out of work has been needs to keep her no talent mouth shut, and go back to getting drunk, and doing drugs!
Confederate on June 15, 2010 at 1:26 PM
Whatever. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about and yet she talks. It’s a liberal thing.
