Susan Sarandon says she's not anti-American

I thought this comedy bit from iconoclast.ca was too funny not to post:

The Iconoclast wrote:HOLLYWOOD -- Susan Sarandon, left-wing activist and B-list actress best known for having children out of wedlock with Tim Robbins, says she is tired of being called an anti-American just because she hates America, all Americans and everything associated with America.

Speaking from the headquarters of the charity organization she runs, Adopt-A-Suicide-Bomber, the" too old to get the good roles but not having enough acting chops to get Katherine Hepburn parts" Sarandon said that criticism of her is being organized by "wealthy elitists who don't care about social justice and income redistribution and are only interested in making money off the labor of the disadvantaged and different."

Ms. Sarandon then took out a riding crop and whipped her Filipino houseboy for spilling an espresso machiato on her $8,000 Christian Lacroix gown that was handsewn by Mexican immigrants working 16 hours a day at 50 cents an hour in a Tijuana sweatshop. Before she left the press conference, in order to appear at a court hearing concerning a $100 million lawsuit she has brought against quadriplegic 12-year old Susie Nickles of Ames, Iowa, for ilegally taping Bull Durham when it appeared on HBO, Ms. Sarandon castigated the Bush administration, which she says is characterized by "greed and disregard for working people."

The actress concluded her remarks by saying, "Americans are stupid and are only interested in money and having a bourgeois lifestyle. And if any of you dress up like the character I played when you go to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday night, you better damn well send me a royalty check or I'll sue you for everything you've got!"

I thought that was just hilarious. Click here to see their main page.

Except that she has an Oscar, and four nominations.

Have a very nice day.

I like how it makes fun of both Susan Sarandon and the knee-jerks who label everyone anti-American who disagrees with them at the same time.

It's quite funny, and I wouldn't be suprised if she says something like that.
