Hayden Says: “Let Them Eat Sushi”

You know how Obama told that plumber dude he wanted to “spread the wealth around”? And then everybody went after the plumber dude for some reason, but then they were like, “Hey, wait a minute, back up. Senator Obama, could you explain that whole ’spread the wealth around’ thing, please?” And then Obama explained it, but he said only rich people are going to get taxed, so don’t worry about it? But now the definition of “rich” keeps getting less and less, um, rich?

Well, if you like Obama but you don’t like higher taxes, Deceiver fave Hayden Panettiere has a simple solution: Deal with it!

“I don’t know if anyone would complain about under-taxing to be completely honest,” Panettiere told CNSNews.com. “Personally, I’d rather have higher taxes and help other people who need those tax breaks more.”

Ain’t she a saint, folks? She’s like Mother Teresa, but without all the gross wrinkles and stuff. And smarter:

Panettiere, 19, thinks many young people have gotten involved with this year’s presidential election because of the celebrities who chose to publicly endorse a presidential candidate.

“One of the major reasons why, especially young people, have come out and done so much to play a part in this election — and who are really getting out there and voting this time around — is because of the celebrity endorsements, because of how popular this election has become, and how much in the news, and how much it’s taken over, you know, our society,” said Panettiere, who plays “Claire Bennett” on the hit NBC Show, “Heroes.”

Yeah, you remember which other election some genius-level celebrity said that very same thing about? Every single one. And they were wrong every single time.

But let’s say she’s right. Let’s say you vote how she wants you to vote. What if it means paying more taxes? Well, duh. Just have your accounting team take care of it. That’s what you hired them for, right? And while they’re dealing with that boring stuff: shopping! Problem solved, Hayden-style.

Martha Stewart said something equally brilliant about Obama’s tax plan, but she’s old and irrelevant and can’t heal from gunshot wounds and radiation burns like Hayden can, so I don’t care. Save any dolphins lately, Martha? Mm-hmm, didn’t think so.

Alec Baldwin Wants A Kinder, Gentler Nation

In Hollywood as in Washington, spite and malice are more than just a card game. And Alec Baldwin has had enough. (*Giggle*)

Here’s the great peacemaker of 30 Rock last night on Letterman talking about the upcoming election:

“If John McBush and Bible Spice win, we have to find a way to come together as a country, because we can’t let it be the way it’s been the last 8 years where there’s been this acrimony and this bitterness. We have to find a way somehow to do that.”

Acrimony and bitterness? It’s a good thing calling people infantile names doesn’t count. Imagine the media crap-storm that would arise if Alec’s brother Stephen (an ardent right-winger) had called a certain presidential candidate “Commie OMuslim.”

Okay … “Bible Spice” was clever. I’ll give him that.

But Alec Baldwin is the last guy who should be lecturing America about avoiding acrimony and bitterness. Just ask his daughter.

The big Democrat donor says he may run for office himself someday. So Baldwin’s recent rant that “This Congress is a disgrace, Democrat and Republican” seems like ill-timed acrimony and bitterness to me. Politicians tend to feign amnesia about how they voted on things and which promises they broke, but this is the sort of stuff they remember.

Jenna Elfman Would Like You to Know Something

Generic blonde actress Jenna Elfman is probably better known for her associations with Scientology than for, say, her role on Dharma & Greg. She’s known to go overboard about her love for all things Xenu like the time she freaked out at a guy wearing a tee-shirt suggesting Tom Cruise is gay.

Well she wants you to know that if you doubt the divine authority of a science-fiction writer with delusions of grandeur who started his own religion as a business opportunity, you can go to Scientology hell:

“If someone starts talking to me negatively about something they’ve never actually studied that actual text of, I don’t really admire them very much because it shows they don’t have much integrity, so I just kind of ignore them,” Elfman told AAP in Sydney.

That’s quite a high standard. It’s just like how she was an expert on human health when she proclaimed “AIDS is a state of mind, not a disease.” That, by the way, was to explain why she refused to sign an autograph as part of a fundraising drive for pediatric AIDS patient care.

Take THAT, sick kids! You just didn’t know enough about thetans to be worth the ink!
