Writing for the "Top of the Ticket" blog of the Los Angeles Times, Andrew Malcolm reports that actress Bo Derek has cast Rudy Giuliani, not fellow actor Fred Thompson, as her candidate for president. As Malcolm writes:
According to a news release from the Giuliani campaign, the former New York City mayor has just been endorsed by Bo Derek. THE Bo Derek. Members of a certain generation may possibly recall a movie called “10.” No married man will ever admit having seen the film or even having an opinion about it, but we’re told it allegedly starred Dudley Moore.
Inexplicably in the film Moore becomes fascinated by some young, apparently rather attractive woman played by Derek. The film also must concern classical music because, we hear, the song “Bolero” is featured prominently in one horizontal scene.
Derek is a longtime Republican who campaigned in both presidential campaigns of both Bushes when, truth be told, normally well-behaved young men vied viciously for the right to escort Derek from location to location. At one point even Josh Bolten, current White House chief of staff, had that duty.
“Rudy Giuliani,” the news release quotes Derek as saying, “is a problem solver with common sense leadership who made a tremendous and positive difference as Mayor of New York.” Like Giuliani, Derek is pro-choice.
But at Top of the Ticket we don’t just take a news release at face value. We dig and probe. So solely to uncover the truth we invested a very long time in web research on this Bo Derek person. There are, it turns out, many websites devoted to her, which naturally had to be checked out.

And with tour de force performances in Tarzan the Ape Man (an homage to Reagan's Bedtime for Bonzo?), Orca and Tommy Boy, I'm surprised she didn't land an ambassadorship or form an exploratory committee.

"Hi my name's Bo. With an expression like mine, with a name like mine, don't you agree that a lobotomy (whatever that is) would be redundent?"

Bo Derrick is still hot but dumber than dirt. She campaigned for Bush twice? Most Republics on this blog won't even admit that they voted for that moron twice. They do have something in common though. Bo has earned a "Razzie" for worst actress and Bush has one locked up for worst president.

Fascinating political coverage, Swamp. I can't wait to hear who Cheryl Teigs is supporting.

What, was Lindsey Lohan unavailable for an interview? This is soooo not a news story. Much less a political news story.

Yeah! And let's not forget those 'Taxachussettes' liberals, like Willard 'The Rat' Romney.
