Hillary Rodham Clinton's re-election bid Tuesday. Sarandon is backing Jonathan Tasini, a labor advocate and former president of the National Writers' Union, who has based his longshot campaign on Clinton's vote in 2002 authorizing military intervention in Iraq. Clinton, who is widely considered the front-runner for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination if she chooses to run, has sharply criticized the Bush Administration's handling of the war. But she has also refused to call for American troops to be removed from Iraq. Sarandon has been a harsh critic of Clinton's vote on the war, telling a British television interviewer last month that Clinton had "crumbled under the pressure of the moment." She also told ITV1 that she wasn't enthusiastic about a Clinton presidential candidacy   The Notorious S.L.K.

This is the guy's biggest problem.   cjc Citizen Username: Cjc Post Number: 5629 Registered: 8-2003 Posted on Friday, May 19, 2006 - 4:37 pm:        Where do the Dixie Chicks come down?   themp Supporter Username: Themp Post Number: 2925 Registered: 12-2001 Posted on Friday, May 19, 2006 - 4:45 pm:        This is news that only S Saradon and Drudge care about.
