Gwyneth Paltrow struggled to hold herself back as she stood next to President Obama on Thursday evening in her own Brentwood backyard. Mr. Obama, she told dozens of Democratic donors, has brought a “passion” to the presidency that would “be one of the most important and scrutinized and looked at.”
She rambled on about why she considers herself his biggest supporter, including his endorsement of equal pay for women, which the millionaire movie star said was “very important to me as a working mother.”
Then came what was apparently on her mind all along. “You’re so handsome that I can’t speak properly,” she said before handing the microphone over to Mr. Obama.
Other than her remarks about the president’s looks, Ms. Paltrow stayed on message. She said that the president needed a Congress controlled by Democrats to move the nation in the right direction.
“It would be wonderful if we are able to give this man all the power he needs to accomplish the things he needs to,” Ms. Paltrow said.

Cult of personality, regardless of party......is a dangerous ingredient to an already broken system where the major parties are in an incestuous circle jerk with the compliant media.
Must be an ears-woman.......And, really, MORE power in the Presidency? Yeah, that'll work.
ReplyDeleteYep. Unfortunately the Congress has abdicated it's enumerated powers to the Executive. Woe unto us.
DeleteHollywood types need to button their mouths so as not to opine about politics. Such inanities spew forth. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteI disagree in a sense. They're entertainers...and mindsets like Paltrow's are...entertaining. But their verbal diarrhea does let the sunlight shine in on disturbing fascist mentalities.
DeleteBetter to have the enemy out themselves, than for them to remain in the shadows.
I'm not in favor of abrogating the First Amendment. Ridicule should do the trick. However, I wonder what Paltrow's FB page shows and how many of her followers look to her for political advice.
DeleteThen there are the times when Hollywood types testify before Congress.
