600 Private Jets fly into Washington from Hollywood... well, that's ok. Why is it that Greenies can never live up to the demands they make on everyone else?

Because that was for the inauguration and from Hollywood. Obama is all about Hollywood and Hollywood is all about liberal, tree hugging, sea kitten loving crazy folks!

Because they want and know what's good for everyone else. They are above such things because of their higher social consciousness.

True, the Hollywood Elite does like looking down on us... but they aren't above charging a charity for an appearance at a fund raiser, are they! :~D

Oh, you should see what they are willing to charge for... in fact, I think I'll start a new discussion about that very topic. ;~D

Charging a charity for a fundraiser? Now that's just wrong. Whoever did that needs to have the words "charity" and "fundraiser" explained to them. Maybe with pictures, so they grasp the concept.

Actually I thought the uproar over the 3 private jets flying in from Detroit was due to the fact that the people on those jets were coming to Washington asking for a handout. I'm not condoning or defending the use of that many jets coming from Hollywood but just pointing out that the complaints about the automakers weren't due to environmental reasons but economic ones.

There were complaints about both. That's why they drove hybrids the next time they went to Washington. Either way, it's rare to see a celebrity that practices the garbage they preach. Some, like Julia Louis Dreyfus, really do, but most don't.

I guess you're right, there were complaints about both but to most people it was because of the money, at least that's what got the most attention. Anyway, thanks for giving credit where it's due, such as to Julia! Annie

WooHoo Ted! Call em on it! All the Senators and Congressman who lynched the banking big wigs for coming in on private jets for their bail out hearing, never said a word about all the stars who came in on private jets to "Worship" King O'Bama. Very double standardish wouldn't you say? Blessings Marilyn

Because they are better then everyone of us. We are cutting down so they can live in luxury and fly all over the place. If it were for a movie on location, then that would be different. At least, they would be working, but to attend the inauguration of their demigod, no way. Maybe we should get a list of these sycophants so to know how are the most dishonest and hypocritical actors there are (those who come to protest would be exempt.)

Because they live by the rule of "do as I say....not as I do".
