I just hope that she comes back and makes the talk-show circuit and praise the troops for what they are doing so she can continue to make movies and live her life as a lib.

And she went without a big fanfare. Wonderful. She was great in Lost in Translation, too. No translation needed for her mission this time. Wonderful. And she went without a big fanfare.

Wonderful.

My guess is very angry and/or depressed (like they were stabbed in the back by someone they respected), or even worse, they'll start questioning their own resolve, which can be deadly in that particular environment. Maybe this trip will change her views about what exactly we're doing over there, but after a couple weeks with her BDS Hollywood crowd, it'll be business as usual. The troops would be better served by a visit from an actress who supports the war. Unfortunately, in today's crowd, that's like trying to find a diamond in the septic tank.

He soon realized that he will never get a more appreciative live audience. If Scarlett absorbs the same feelings that Bob got, she will be back.

I'm not asking anyone to like Bush, agree with my views, or believe Iraq was a good idea. But I think we should all at least respect our military and appreciate all they do regardless of ideology. A few weeks ago, Bill O'Reilly had a story about how the USO couldn't attract big stars to visit the troops and now one of the biggest young starlets in Tinseltown is doing her part. Good for her and may others follow her example. Some people were knocking ScarJo in MM’s previous post about her visiting the troops because she is a liberal but I think what she did was terrific.

Talented? Yes. Curvy? Duh. Maddeningly unhinged? Her words say it all, but at least she was able to put a cork in her elitism enough to make a good show of it. I wonder if she'll be smacktalking the soldiers to her acting pals in the private salons safe here at home?
