Pictures worth a thousand words: Harry Reid and Cameron Diaz Update: Diaz apologizes, hopes for “continued healing”

Bumped with update:
Update: Diaz admits her ignorance. Will she stop toting around her Mao bag, now?
Cameron Diaz apologized Sunday for carrying a bag with a political slogan that evoked painful memories in Peru.
The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated “Shrek” films visited the Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru’s Andes on Friday carrying an olive green bag emblazoned with a red star and the words “Serve the People” printed in Chinese, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong’s most famous political slogan.
The bags are marketed as fashion accessories in some world capitals, but in Peru the slogan evokes memories of the Maoist Shining Path insurgency that fought the government in the 1980s and early 1990s in a bloody conflict that left nearly 70,000 people dead.
“I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have inadvertently offended. The bag was a purchase I made as a tourist in China and I did not realize the potentially hurtful nature of the slogan printed on it,” Diaz said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press.

Who’s more clueless: Harry Reid or Cameron Diaz? I’ll provide the annotated photos. You decide.
First up, a tipster sends this scanned photo of Reid published this week in Roll Call. It was snapped on Wednesday as Reid headed to a news conference to crow about energy efficiency:
In case you can’t read the caption under the photo, let me reprint it:
“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid walks from his Chevrolet Suburban (left) to attend a news conference on energy efficiency Wednesday in Upper Senate Park. Reid rode in the sport utility vehicle from the Capitol to the event, which was across the street.”
The Chevy Suburban SUV weighs in at 5800 pounds and gets 15 mpg. Reid’s got two of them–one in DC and one back in Nevada. He says they are for “security.” What about the “security” of ordinary Americans who drive these same vehicles? Reid and the Senate Dems have just passed an automaker-demonizing energy bill that mandates higher fuel efficiency standards, which will mean higher vehicle prices and more consumers priced out of the new auto market.
“The time has come for us to speak for the American people and not the car manufacturers,” Reid inveighed in between his SUV shuttle stops. Henry Payne of the Detroit News lashes back:
In lecturing automakers to take their medicine, Reid scolded Detroit in particular (including GM) for not making more small, fuel efficient cars: “Perhaps if they had joined us instead of fighting us these last 20 years, they might not be in the financial mess they’re in today. But, as the senator’s own drive confirms, GM is meeting market demand - for Democratic pols who need big, powerful vehicles for security, for example. We await the senator’s next mandate that Capitol security vehicles be planet-saving, 4-cylinder gas hybrid Priuses made by non-union Toyota Motor Company.
Now, speaking of hypocritical SUV owners, get a load of Cameron Diaz’s latest Hollyweird gaffe. I nominate her for the first episode of P.C. Celebrity What Not To Wear:
Allah’s blog post title sums it up: “Celebrity moron totes trendy Maoist handbag in Peru, home of the Shining Path.” The AP reports:
Actress Cameron Diaz appears to have committed a major fashion faux pas in Peru. The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated “Shrek” films may have inadvertently offended Peruvians who suffered decades of violence from a Maoist guerrilla insurgency by touring here Friday with a bag emblazoned with one of Mao Zedong’s favorite political slogans.
While explored the Inca city of Machu Picchu high in Peru’s Andes, Diaz wore over her shoulder an olive green messenger bag emblazoned with a red star and the words “Serve the People” printed in Chinese on the flap, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao’s most famous political slogan.
While the bags are marketed as trendy fashion accessories in some world capitals, the phrase has particular resonance in Peru, where the Maoist Shining Path insurgency brought Peru to edge of chaos in the 1980s and early 1990s with a campaign of massacres, assassinations and bombings.
Nearly 70,000 people were killed during the insurgency.
Cameron’s next trip should be to the Victims of Communism memorial.
Perhaps Harry Reid would be willing to drive her there in his SUV.

“Serve the People” has an eerie sci-fi/horror feel about it.
I wonder if Mao was the inspiration for this?
To Serve Man
Plot Outline:An alien race comes to earth, promising peace and sharing technology. A linguist and his team set out to translate the alien’s language, using a book who’s title they deduce is “To Serve Man”.
Cameron
Diaz“Ditz” could have been in line for some “re-education” had her type of politicos been on site. Pity type like her don’t seem to understand reality.Of course, neither does Reid.
Typical left wing democrats… do as I say, not as I do. As for the “starlet”, she should try to finish her education. Her ignorance is showing.
Harry Reid’s hypocrisy is yet another example of the “disconnect” between politicians and the people they are elected to represent. The elitism exhibited by Reid et al (I’ll drive a big gas guzzler, but I want you idiots to buy a toy car that is fueled by rotting banana peels) disgusts me.
My vote is for Cameron Diaz. Most of our “stars” live in their own world. Politicians also live in their own world(do as I say,not as I do).They know what they are doing,they just don’t care that you know.
Diaz. Reid’s posturing is arrogant and deliberate. Cameron Diaz is truly a ditz — doesn’t have a clue.
These people are clueless. This is the same as Richard Gere handling the Indian actress, or Nancy showing up in Syria with Ralph Lauren hajib. These are the same people that want to ban di-hydrogen oxide……go figure.
I wouldn’t think Ms. Diaz’ thought process meandered much farther afield than, “Oh, me likey.”
Cameron Diaz when she bought the bag was think what a cool Hieneken bag, I can’t wait for their lite tote bag to come out.
As for Sen Reid, he’s one of those people who take up two or more parking spaces. Making others drive around looking for a parking spot. Grrrrrr….
And Then there is always the Huffington Post attacking Michelle. Here is their reaction to Michelle’s blog about Talk Radio being under attack by Progressives. I don’t comment to the Huffington Post, mostly because if you don’t comment what they like, they censor your comment. What is that called when a Liberal, censor’s you about a Free Speech Issue? Ironic or just Stupid?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/timothy-karr/report-revealing-bias-of-_b_53307.html
Camoron Diaz,
poor lil thing ,she’s not with it..possibly has no clue,about the bag.
File these two under Dumb Bunnies, or Stupid Pet Tricks???
Diaz’s level of self-importance in the world just inches past her level of stupidity. I’d say Mama Gump’s logic rings true here with these two: “Stupid is as stupid does”.
Dirty HARRY, oh I mean Harry Reid. Now there’s a typical big government, socialist, liberal democrat if I every saw one. He has to be just about the most boring person on capitol hill, but he sure know how to lie and twist the truth in a big way.
Maybe Ms Diaz doesn’t know about the Shining Path… but no one could look at that bag and NOT know that it was about communism. She’s just showing her true color… AND her ignorance.
As far as Harry ‘Gas Guzzler’ Reid goes… he’s not worth my effort. He’s a waste of air.
However, on the same vein… you wouldn’t believe how many anti-Bush ‘No Blood for Oil’ stickers I see on these huge SUV’s. Really makes me want that rocket launcher install in the front of my old sedan.
In defense of Cameron, she has a purchased several priuses drives one and given family members their own…… and she still looks great no matter what the handbag.
The handbag says it all. But the options ae pretty sad. Either —
(a) she’s so naive that she doesn’t know what she’s doing, or
(b) she knows something of what she’s doing.

In a similar vein, while in Seattle this past March I saw a college-age kid get on the bus wearing a button sporting a picture of Chairman Mao with the name “Che” on it. Couldn’t figure that one out.
Ah! The myth of Communist utopia . Some people just aren’t as quick on the uptake. Maybe all these folks who sport such supportive tripe should move to a current Communist country and live there for a year or so … However, NOT as the “privileged” do in those countries (China, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela …). But as regular, ordinary “working class” folks. Perhaps they can even be supplied with a family of … say … four to have to provide for on a daily basis. Then let’s hear how wonderful Communism is.
Hey! I think I have an idea for a new reality TV show. “Self-righteous Celebrities Who Are Living The Communist / Socialist Dream”. Sort of like “Survivor”, only, you don’t get voted off. You go to one of those countries’ prisons.
That’s why we haven’t bought a new car in YEARS. We have two older (20+) Volvos that are fun, solid, safe, dependable, good looking and I CAN FIX THEM. Cars today have become so complex that elements that govern their operation are buried so deeply within them, only the tech at the dealership or hi-tech repair shop can get into them. If it won’t start or dies on you in traffic, you’re screwed. Now, I’m in no way against hi-tech stuff, the more gadgets the better. But. What’s the cost of all the techno stuff in the average car? What’s one of the cheapest cars, Chevy Aveo? Ten grand? Phooey. I’ll buy old, nice, solid & safe. And still get 25+ mpg. This is still ‘murrica with buyer’s freedom of choice. Or at least it used to be…screw Harry Reid and the horse he rode in on. Damn. What’s America coming to? Will we wake up in time?
As a side note: Not too long ago Macy*s took over a local department store in our area. When I received their replacement credit card to me in the mail what jumped out at me was the prevalence of the “Red Star” (It’s in all their advertisements also). It smacked of Maoism. Either Macy*s is as dumb as Diaz, or maybe the logo symbol is intentional and subliminal. Either way, I’ve yet to activate the card, or to shop at their store.
http://www1.macys.com/index.ognc?
And for anyone who wants to challenge my reasoning by demanding to know if I buy any products made in China … very rarely.
The Democrats mantra: Do as I say, not as I do.
I wouldn’t expect any awareness from Ms. Diaz, but Dingy Harry knows what he’s doing. It’s all to appease the greeniacs, nothing but political puppetshows.
If I could afford the sticker price, I would LOVE to get a 2008 Chevy Tahoe. The redesign looks really good, and the safety and mileage improvements are quite impressive. The airbag systems are much better, and GM has introduced a new technology for their V-8 engines where you have the power when you need it, but when cruising at highway speed without a large load 4 of the 8 cylinders fuel delivery shuts down, enabling much better highway fuel economy.
All of this is response to market demand, not Democrats artificially monkeying around with what American consumers want. If all this tiny-car legislation gets through, we’ll just rehab older cars and stop buying new ones. That’ll be great for the UAW and Detroit, no?
I am a car nut, and I believe that the grumbling V-8 is as American as apple pie. There is nothing cooler on the road today than a 1969 Chevy Camaro SS, which is coming back in new form like the Mustang of ‘05 in a year or two. Can’t wait!
Let’s be fair to the left wing environmentalists - they are doing their part by telling all of us what not to do. What more can we expect? (Hear the sarcam dripping?)
Come on now, you guys. The
senilesenior Senator Reid obviously cannot be expected to walk more than a few steps, especially if he’s chewing gum at the same time. As for Cameron, the red star is very pretty! And former boyfriend Justin is very masculine.Able to guzzle more energy than dozens of normal men. Producing more hot air than a locomotive. Able to pile up carbon credits higher than a tall building in a single bound!
Look UP in the sky! It’s ChickenLittle! It’s FlyingSnakeOilSalesman! It the Sultan of Chad! It’s the Ayatollah of Heat! No, it’s CarbonMan in a private jet painted green!
CarbonMan, strange visitor from an alternate reality who came to Earth with claims and scary predictions far beyond those of mortal men, disguised as fat Albert, and now joined by other members of the Royal Green League such as HummerMan, ChevySuburbanMan and EcoCleaningWoman, they all fight a never ending battle for science-fiction, hypocrisy and the Hollywood way!
Brian72, Ah, yes. Car-nuts rule! Nothing like the sound of a lightly mufflered V-8 on “take-off” roll…from your driveway…or a “full-song” merge onto the freeway. V-8 growl. Gotta love it!
Something else worth mentioning about Chevy, the ‘07 Corvette Z06. This is one amazing car. Through the use of new metallurgy and carbon fiber body panels, weight has been reduced quite a bit compared to the standard Vette(which is no slouch either). The powerplant is a work of art. This from the website:
This monster engine gets 16city 27hwy mpg. That’s 500+ horses! This car’s performance is in Ferrari- Lamborghini territory, at less than half the price. That’s what our auto industry can do today when Congress keeps their grubby hands off!
Granted, this is a premium price of about $77,000 but that’s relatively cheap when you consider the Ferrari F430 is around $185,000 and doesn’t beat the gas guzzler threshold, plus import duties. The Vette can hang with it for half the money. God bless the USA!
It’s hard to tell who is more clueless, dingy Harry, or diaz.
It’s ok for Reid to pollute the atmospehere, because laws don’t apply to them. Fortunately, I have 5 vehicles, 2 of which are SUV’s, but I buy more than enough carbon credits from myself, so therefore, I have a very tiny carbon footprint. Just like algore.
As for diaz, I have been told (from a reliable source) that her Pol Pot handbag was stolen, so she had to resort to her backup Mao bag.
Why is Cameron Diaz a news event? For that matter, why would we care if some actor/actress does/says something dopey? Should we really be surprised at this kind of revelation (which isn’t even really a revelation)? After all, the sole purpose of being an actor is to be someone else, and it just so happens that most of the better actors have no personalities, and the not so better ones actually have personalities. As a reminder, celebrities are rich and famous, so they’re prone to being followed around by “Yes Men” who are good at driving celebrity egos as high as they can go. Yet, people become surprised when celebrities do something stupid?
With all due respect to Mrs Malkin and all other fine, upstanding journalists, bringing up the stupidity of celebrities is both redundant and, for the majority of the time, lazy reporting. It’s far too easy to write about how dumb some celebrity is than it is to write about something far more interesting.
I considered various pieces of snark, but in the end it was all too depressing. Both popular culture and our political leadership are represented by people too clueless to recognize their own hypocrisy and infantilism.
You would think the half Cuban Mrs. Diaz would be a little more educated about the horrors of Communist revolutions and the cruelty of Communist revolutionaries.
or not
I could have sworn I saw this same picture on a website or newspaper, cropped to not show the Suburban. Anybody remember seeing something like that?
Bye bye Miss American pie
I drove my Chevy to the levee
and threw Dingy Harry real high
Just good ole boys
drinkin whiskey and wine
and laughin at Harry’s cries,

#31,
While you’re certainly entitled to your opinion, I don’t believe she blogs as a journalist. She has a syndicated opinion column, and writes for two blogs, here, and hotair.com.
She comments on news items of the day, and does some investigations as well, but it’s not the main thrust of her writing. It’s okay to comment on Hollywood celebs who speak one way, and do the complete opposite. Every post need not be a hard news item.
How about commenting on the story itself, and not on whether you believe Michelle should have written about it, because, in your opinion, it’s not “hard news”?
“How about commenting on the story itself, and not on whether you believe Michelle should have written about it, because, in your opinion, it’s not “hard news”?”
Tell it to the Peruvians. Perhaps 70,000 human beings that were murdered as a result of Sendero Luminoso’s (Shinning Path)actions in their country might not be “hard” enough news for some people.
If 70,000 souls were to die in Peru, would that be heard by Ms. Diaz?
Riö
Semper Fi!
Excusing communism dies hard, it seems. The idiot celebrities should talk to Rep. Tom Lantos who survived the two worst tyrannies of the 20th century.
There are numerous defectors from the Soviet Union and it’s Warsaw Pact vassal states living here in the U.S., many of whom have written books. One of note had a blog called AllThingsBeautiful that was very interesting and visually striking with artwork displays.
She was royalty in one of the Eastern bloc countries, a Baroness no less, and her family had to flee the “revolution” or face the Bolsheviks.
That blog hasn’t been updated for a while, and it’s a shame because she’s a great writer and a classy lady. Some of the best writing about AhminthemoodforJihad, and the Nazi-like views of some of his lackies.
Maybe she will return to the blogosphere someday. Perhaps Michelle could arrange for her to blog here or at HotAir once in a while? Just a thought.
Here we go:
“Serve the People”
You can’t get much more offensive than that.
It’s not as if she’s ever been paid to think. She’s obviously out of practice.
I agree with Weebork. We shouldn’t waste our time on anyone who says something as inane as “If you believe in rape, then don’t vote.” as Ms. Diaz did on Oprah Winfery’s show.
Both Reid and Diaz are idiots of the first order. Diaz never had an original thought in her scummy life. She is a sheep.
The consensus is in:
Cameron Diaz is an idiot.
So “Serve the People” was printed on Diaz’s trendy handbag, eh?
Reminds me of the old “Twilight Zone” episode where space aliens landed bringing a book. The book was titled, “To Serve Mankind”.
The episode ended when humans discovered - to their horror - that it was an alien cookbook.
Now, in Diaz’s case…..?
Okay, who’s got the tar and feathers?
Diaz is pretty much of an empty headed blond. She preferred modeling to school and if you’ve ever heard her interview, she is for all intents and purposes, incoherent about anything except herself. She is an expert on Cameron Diaz, her films, her career, what she likes to do when she’s not dazzling us with that smile.
I have no doubt that she doesn’t have a clue what communism is or what it cost the human race. If it doesn’t have anything to do with Hollywood and Cameron Diaz, she’s clueless.
Weebork, it’s relevant because Ms. Diaz thinks she’s a political activist as well.
It’s helpful to point out her cluelessness and lack of historical insight to others so they know they shouldn’t give her political advice any weight.
Attention K-Mart shoppers and Nevada residents: read this blue light special
Nevada residents wake up and hit the snooze button!!!!! Senator Reid makes our state look like a huge horses A$$!!!!! First he calls the troops losers, and now he shows us his true colors, by trying to hide his limousine, leer jet liberal mentality!!!!!!!!
jose the guerilla Las Vegas
As for pure cluelessness, it’s CD hands down. Dumb as a bag of hammers, and all that. Harry? This “man” is an authentic sack of you-know-what. Perfect example of a career, liberal politician…
I understand the need for Reid’s security… I mean, there are probably any number of people out there crazy enough to take a shot at a politician… but, come on… riding in a suburban across the street? That’s a little ridiculous. They could have put together a security team to walk him across the street for the presser.
Jim C
You think Ms. Diaz would have mean things to say about me if I were photographed wandering around Selma, Alabama taking pictures and gawking at the locals while blissfully wearing a Klu Klux Klan tee-shirt? And yes, if I did that I would deserve to be called an idiot too.
Cameron Diaz is as dumb as a shoe. Do these idiots seriously think that the villagers were asked to make a choice between having electricity, and not having electricity? And declined?
Sheesh.
I’ll do you one better. VP Dick Cheney was in Atlanta, GA yesterday on ‘private business’ and managed to tie up I-75 for thirty minutes. We took an alternate route to our destination. All the onramps were blocked until his entourage passed.
He could have been put in a chopper.
Harry Reid could have walked. What both have in common is their ‘golden parachute’ when they retire from government service.
Cameron Diaz is an idiot. I don’t have the Shrek movies because they are just as idiotic as she is. Even Julie Andrews and John Cleese couldn’t save them.
#11 asked:
Par for the course?
Look out! It’s the Limousine Liberal (only now they drive SUVs). I assume he paid his carbon credits to the House of Gore before embarking on his perilous trek across the street.
Regarding Diaz, we can now exchange the phrase conspicuous consumption with clueless consumption. This rides up there with wearing a terrorist scarf and calling it “anti-war”. Did we really forget the genuine brutality that Communist dictatorships brought to the world?
If you’ve read the link under hypocrical SUV owners, it all reminds me of the song, Common People. It was most recently redone by none other than William Shatner (great version, BTW). The words of the song basically state that those who are rich can pretend to be poor all day long, but they can always remove themselves from the situation in a instant and live like the rich again.
I have heard “You Can’t Fix Stupid”
I think this applys in the case of at least Cameron Diaz.
Diaz is a clueless, worthless fool. Like most young actresses, she had two choices in life: bang the creepy old producer for that first acting job or hope to someday be made an assistant manager at the Tastee Freeze. It’s disgusting that our culture gives these people one ounce of credibility to publicly discuss anything of importance.
As a high school teacher, I take great pleasure in “schooling” my students in the real Che when they show up in my class with their trendy Che-wear on. Like others here have said, I begin by asking them if their Hitler shirt was in the laundry that day.
Isn’t Dias and her type the first ones to point out how Americans are perceived to be so arrogant? As for Reid,you didn’t really think he was going to set an example for us, did you? Who keeps voting for this hypocrite, and why?
drillanwr said: Hey! I think I have an idea for a new reality TV show. “Self-righteous Celebrities Who Are Living The Communist / Socialist Dream”. Sort of like “Survivor”, only, you don’t get voted off. You go to one of those countries’ prisons.
I like that, would watch too.
They’re both clueless twits & I don’t know who is worse.
Diaz is more than a dumb and clueless Hollywood actress, she is just evil. She cares more about being accepted by the elites and for looking “smart” by wearing commi-chic clothes than she does that Maoists have killed dozens of millions of people. She knows they have, and she doesn’t care one whit. All she cares about is her image of being a “smart” liberal star. It’s selfishly all about her.
The ruling elite political class operates on a completely different set of rules of conduct and standards for living. It’s always the peon taxpaying citizens who have to bear the brunt (and cost)of their reckless behavior.
Shame on you, Michelle! It’s not nice to make fun of the retarded.
and speaking of which… Did y’all know that the ditzy idiot movie star character in “Lost in Translation” is supposed to be Cameron Diaz? I guess it’s no surprise that she belongs to the double-digit IQ club, along with Drew Barrymore.
Guess what folks? I’ve got something for Mr. Harry “war is lost” Reid!
Pat Dollard just went nuclear and posted the Youtube of the opening speech from “Patton”, you know the one with the full dress uniform and the 20ft tall Stars and Stripes! I wish Dingy Harry would be forced to watch this one!

What are the chances Dingy Harry will get Las Vegas to ban incandescent light bulbs.
Well, Cameron never wastes an opportunity to prove to us she really is a vapid dingbat….but then again, so is Harry.
Hollywood Halfwits
I hear that next week she’ll be wearing Jackboots to a Bar Mitzvah…
Cameron is a ditsy actress who can almost be excused for her “fashion” faux paux.
Harry on the other hand is in a position of real power and it makes one shudder how it happened and why.
Between him and Nancy Pelosi, they do raise concerns about the level of competence of those leading the legislative branch.
At to energy legislation, these people haven’t a clue. Why penalize the automakers? They’re only meeting demand. If people want to drive vehicles that get 10 to 15 miles to the gallon and pay for the gasoline, so be it. Those users also don’t have a right to complain about the high price of gasoline either. When it gets painful enough, they’ll buy more fuel efficient vehicles.
Let them do what they want to do: drive SUVs, and wear cockroaches’ skin, while preaching others to do the opposite.
Well, I don’t give a damn about those politicians and Hollywood high school dropouts. No one will dictate to me what I want to buy, drive, eat or wear.
If I want to drive an 18-wheeler to go to the grocery store, it’s my choice.
If I want to wear flip-flops made out of cow skin, it’s my choice.
If I want to eat pork, beef, chicken, fish, and insects, it’s my choice.
No one has the right to stop me.
And last but not least, certainly no one has the right to tell me to wipe my butt with one square of toilet paper.
May I tell you to please use much more than one square of TP?
for the children.
Only ONE square of TP per Number Two stop? Riiiiiiiiiiiiighttt!
My question regarding Cameron Diaz: where’s her agent??? An agent is supposed to be smart enough to keep his clients from looking bad, right? Yes, I suppose that, for someone like her, it might not matter what’s said as long as her name is in the press frequently. Her name wouldn’t be in the press as much long-term, though, had someone who’d lost his family to the Shining Path retaliated against her. Thankfully that didn’t happen; she instead just provides another glaring piece of evidence about how out of touch Hollywood really is. Anyway, where’s her agent, and does he still have a job? He clearly didn’t do well in instructing her to leave that bag at home.
As for Harry Reid: what nerve. May his own Suburban be required to get 35 MPG by 2020. What goes around comes around.
That’s real funny! A Chevy Suburban might get 35mpg if you made it out of balsa wood and duct tape! Great security in that truck!
What, Democrats are hypocrites? Say it ain’t so!
Btw. was it Cameron Diaz who found the Brits so much more appealing than Americans? I wonder how she would have liked life under Chairman Mao.
Hating America is trendy… until you piss off the wrong people elsewhere and come crawling back here begging us to take you back.
Too bad that Cameron isn’t getting to experience the likes of a Mao first hand - there is still Kim Jong Il, if she were to hurry.
When I was very young, I thought hell was way too much.
Now I am not young, and it seems cold - it seems I had no concept at all for the capacity of man to be so inhuman.
People like Cameron really give you an eyeopener.
You think she would favor Islamic women in Hollywood wearing the total burkha look and carrying a bag with words quoting Mohammed that Allah says to stone sluts?

WAY TOO FUNNY! ROTF LAUGHING TO HIGH HEAVEN! I love it.
I wish it was a new Saturday Morning Cartoon!
Regarding Ms. Diaz’ taste in fashion, I find it fascinating that I see so much of this Mao stuff in Berkeley, where I reside, and on photo reviews of our glitteratti, but almost never in Shanghai or Beijing, or even in the far reaches of what passes for the boonies over there. Might it be that the folks who actually lived under Mao know something Ms Diaz might find it useful to learn?
Guys, I really hate to tell you this, but it seems obvious that none of you who are content to call these “silly females” something like morons and ditzes while you explain they don’t know what they are doing by supporting communism, it seems you have never been in forced long-term relationships with any such “ditzes” and on an almost daily basis. I admit, sometimes it can take years and even DECADES to catch on that they are NO DITZES, I assure you, being highly skilled in the arts of manipulation and anything else required to get what they want - THEY KNOW THEY ARE COLD HEARTED AND BLOODLESS BI###ES of the FIRST RANK.
I beg stringently to disagree with your perceptions that they do not know what they are doing or who they are supporting - they DO! I SOLEMNLY ASSURE YOU!
They are celebrating their CHOSEN HEROES - MASTERS OF GETTING WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF THIS LIFE!
It may take 30 years of close contact for one of them to let slip enough purely self-centered REVELATIONS of their own deliberations.
Sure they’ll let you see what they want in terms of GOALS - but they are early and solidly MASTER ADEPTS at conceiling those thing they KNOW will turn their own victims into hardline cold shoulders — but the DITZINESS IS A GAME FOR YOUR BENEFIT. It ain’t nowhere SKIN DEEP!
Underneath is all the same predatory and animalistic determination of a dictator of an empire - it is simply that “Ditzy” girls’ goals are so much much LESS than those of DICTATORS like MAO - but their MEANS aren’t that different.
They “IGNORANTLY” flaunt their adoration of their TRUE SOUL MATES. They bat them big “empty” eyes at you so you will give up in disgust and let them have what they want.
But they are NOT ignorant.
You guys just don’t have a large enough family, if you think these guys are “IGNORANT”.
They play the game so you won’t stop them - you won’t entirely remove your approval of them, or do anything to interfere with their ability to acheive their goals AT YOUR EXPENSE.
Like I heard a lady teaching the other day - if you think of someone’s misbehavior as their “wounded inner child”, you will sympathize with them WHILE NOT STOPPING THEIR DESTRUCTIONS in your life.
But if you think of them as an OLD MAN, the OLD NATURE - old, wicked, evil - THEN YOU WOULD DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO TO STOP THE DESTRUCTION.
I say to you - WAKE UP!
Cameron isn’t ignorant. She is just INDIFFERENT. She is totally lacking in natural human affection for the suffering of others. They might as well be grasshoppers, or ants, in her HEART.

Who’s got the RAIL - or a catapult?
Where I am from, I can provide a slide down a mountain side made entirely of cactus pads.
The Hard Way would be good.
I can understand Diaz being ignorant but doesn’t she hire people to be smart for her? She’s not bright, just read her quotes on IMDB. I guess Maoism has replaced Uncle Ernesto T’s as the new Communism Chic. At least she wasn’t carrying Mao’s Little Red Book of Supreme Directives…yet.
Uh oh…Moral Equivocation in 3….2…
It is time to tell our elected representatives to stop mandating auto makers how to make their vehicles by mandating CAFE standards.
The last round of CAFE mandates have resulted in small cars that weigh less just to meet the ridiculous CAFE standards.
The new small cars are more dangerous in auto collisions which have resulted in thousands of needless deaths.
Air Bags are another mandated feature which drives up the cost of a car by $3000-$5000 dollars with little if any safety benefit. They are a “feel good” safety feature that can actually kill smaller people and children when they deploy and do not live up to the hype.
It is time to get the Government out of the auto business. I wonder how I made it to my ripe old age without all these mandated safety features in the 1950’s and 60’s that drive up the cost of cars and trucks.
Instead of mandating CAFE standards, Congress should roll back bans on domestic production of oil in Alaska and the rest of the USA like off our coasts.In addition, they should mandate new refineries to alleviate the current shortages that drive fuel prices up for all of us.
I think it’s a tie. Although that bag would go great with Harry’s skin color. Tehe
What is that thing on her head?? Is thatr a real hat of some kind, or did Perez Hilton draw that ? (Perez Hilton is a gossip columnist who draws graffiti on photos of celebs.)
That does indeed look like a dunce cap. What can you expect from a woman who thinks voting Republican means supporting rape. (Remember when she cried about this on Oprah? “If you support getting raped then don’t vote.”)
One suggestion for Ms. Diaz: Read “Mao” by Chang and Halliday.
Cameron Diaz Apologizes, don’t these people have handlers?

“Nearly 70,000 people were killed during the insurgency.”
So does this mean that when the body count in Iraq hits (hit?) 70K we have to stop wearing our ‘Murican flag pins?
Commie chic for the Hollywood nitwits.
“Commie chic” … they spout red claptrap and wear emblems memorializing dictators… all the whiles they live like Czars and Czarinas themnselves!
Hey Cammie (Cammie the Commie!), why not give ALL your money away, Cammieand also let a couple dozen people live in your house (or at least one of your many homes around the world, all of which are I’m sure are probably empty awiting your royal presence …)
Her control over any of our lives is zero, but Reid the Hypocrite wants to tell you how to live and what kind of car you can drive but exempt himself. Please - majority of Nevada voters - who are you and why do vote for this person?
And Security? Senator, how will that SUV protect you from the votes of intelligent Nevada voters?
I wonder how many footballs were taken to the middle east by our troops. You know so they can entertain themselves with touch football (Airforce) or some tackle (Marines).
I think it is an honest mistake, not even an oversight, something that avoided any deep thought. Until you realize that footballs are made of pig skin.
I give Cameron Diaz a break for not knowing the history of the country. How many people know the history and customs of any country to the point that an accessory would offend them?
Kind of like walking into a Japanese home. OOPS, forgot to take off my shoes.
This molehill is quickly becoming a mountain. Needlessly.
It’s amazing how clueless these hollyweird types are, as if only Peruvians would be offended by her ignorance not anyone else aware of the millions who perished under Mao.
