March 19, 2003 -- Don't aid these Saddam lovers

AFTER Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines told a London audience last week that she was "ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas," country stations from Kansas to Pennsylvania immediately dropped the band from their playlists. Maines soon apologized for her "disrespect."

But what about other appeasement-loving celebs?

If you'd prefer not to support the careers of stars who want to stop the liberation of Iraq from mass murderer Saddam Hussein and his rapist henchmen, PAGE SIX offers this quick reference list.

* "Mystic River," which comes out in the fall, boasts the mother of all appeasement casts, with Tim Robbins, Sean Penn and Laurence Fishburn.

* Samuel L. Jackson, another Hollywood drone who signed an anti-liberation letter to the Bush administration recently, is starring in "Basic," which opens next week.

* Susan Sarandon can currently be boycotted on the Sci-Fi Channel miniseries "Children of Dune," which began on Sunday. Another Sarandon project worth skipping is "The Nazi Officer's Wife," out in June.

* Those who oppose sadistic, Stalinist dictatorships won't want to show up at the Estess Arena in Atlantic City on April 25 to see Sheryl Crow's concert. You'll also want to avoid her show the next day at Earthfest in Boston.

* Another petition-signer, Alfre Woodard, is starring in "The Core," coming out next week.

* Fred Durst's band Limp Bizkit has a new album coming out and will be touring the U.S. this summer, but his fans probably don't even know what Iraq is. Meanwhile, alleged girlfriend beater and war opponent Jackson Browne is touring in the only place where he has any fans left - Germany.

* Janeanne Garofalo has high hopes that this summer's offering "Wonderland" will revive her career. But the producers of her last effort, "Manhood," which showed at Sundance in January, are apparently still searching for a distributor.

* The bus stop ads for Danny Glover's "Good Fences" just went up all over town, but there are certainly better ways to spend $10.

* You've probably already stopped watching NBC's "The West Wing" on Wednesdays, thanks to Martin Sheen. Now, you can skip the network's new political series "Mr. Sterling" on Fridays, since it stars the peacenik James Whitmore.

Not that anybody would seriously make their political decisions based on Page Six ...

would they?

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:32 (twenty-three years ago)

delete the world, plz

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Boycotting the new Limp Bizkit album = only natural and right, regardless of all this blah blah whoop whoop.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Mystic River is being directed by Clint Eastwood, so I think the Post is a little conflicted.

I have no idea why anyone reads that shitty paper.

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Nick speaks TROOF.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Wow, I loved the book Mystic River, sounds like it'll be a cool movie. Thanks, Page 6.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:46 (twenty-three years ago)

(Guess who's going to be singing on the soundtrack to Mystic River?)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Andy Williams? André Williams?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

milli vanilli?

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Dan Perry?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:53 (twenty-three years ago)

steve perry?

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:56 (twenty-three years ago)

(btw "mystic river" sounds like a doors cover band who plays brew pubs)

― jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Steve Guttenburg, a known Saddam-Lover?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Saddam?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Tariq Aziz?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Nickalicious is correct! 60 members of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus will be recording a song for the soundtrack.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

i think this is the best line in the post article:
Those who oppose sadistic, Stalinist dictatorships won't want to show up at the Estess Arena in Atlantic City on April 25 to see Sheryl Crow's concert.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:58 (twenty-three years ago)

I wouldn't want to show up at a Sheryl Crow concert, regardless. Even if she was performing it bare ass.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Let's not be hasty, Chris.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Damn, I was hoping for the long-awaited duet between Tariq Aziz and Elton John. Because if Elton loves somebody, they can't be ALL bad (see: Emimem, Ryan Adams, Remy Shand, Anastasia).

When did Page Six become so ultra-conservative in a self-parody sort of way? I used to enjoy reading about the krazy exploits of the rich and famous, but now I might have to start a little boycott of my own if you catch my drift heh heh heh ;)

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:02 (twenty-three years ago)

now I might have to start a little boycott of my own if you catch my drift heh heh heh ;)

I don't catch your drift, is this some sort of NAMBLA thing?

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:10 (twenty-three years ago)

I love you, Horace.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:11 (twenty-three years ago)

Does anyone read garbage like this and take seriously? I hope not, but in my heart I know there are probably many who do.

60 members of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus will be recording a song for the soundtrack.

Dan Perry to soundtrack!

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Aaron, I'd call it starting a boycott if I'd ever spent a red cent on the Post in the first place. As it happens, I never have.

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:19 (twenty-three years ago)

A red cent is right you fucking commie!

― AnnieC (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:21 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah a red cent with LINCOLN on it, foo'.

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Did anyone see Gay Lincoln on C O'B the other night? That shit always cracks me up.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:36 (twenty-three years ago)

i hear Lincoln liked the whores

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Wait I don't see what Limp Bizkit did. Is going on a U.S. tour implicitly pro-Saddam? Why put them in the same graf as Jackson Browne? People, for the love of God, PAGE SIX DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ANYMORE. THE TERRORISTS HAVE ALREADY WON.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:29 (twenty-three years ago)

the NY Post sounds like The Sun x The Mirror to the power of 10,000,000

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:34 (twenty-three years ago)

tracer, i think they're mad about fred making the stalinist mother-rapist statement, "I just really hope we're all in agreeance that this war should go away as soon as possible" at the Grammys.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:42 (twenty-three years ago)

I seriously think that in times of crises there should be laws enacted to enforce standards of basic logic.

On the other hand I sort of like the "you support Saddam" logical twist cause check this out: (a) everyone says "support your president" --> (b) I do not think a popular revolution in the U.S. would be that great of an idea --> (c) by this logic I do support my president and can call him a stilt-brained asshole all I want without diminishing that fact!

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:48 (twenty-three years ago)

saddam-lover! ! !

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Jackson Browne is touring in the only place where he has any fans left - Germany.
Ha ha. I like the pause before GERMANY. It's like, "No. Check this out. Wait for it... ok. GERMANY! MOST EVIL NATION EVER!!!!"

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:56 (twenty-three years ago)

that is ridiculous

― robin (robin), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:01 (twenty-three years ago)

saddam -lover! ! !

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Thursday, 20 March 2003 18:22 (twenty-three years ago)

everyone says "support your president"

This is the same "everyone" that wanted to impeach Clinton for a blowjob.
