| But there's a small pocket of celebs who aren't joining the anti-Bush rabble. They aren't as legion as the anti-war faction but they've become increasingly vocal in recent weeks. Some pro-war entertainers are no surprise, like meat-loving gun-rights advocate Ted Nugent who, if he could, would personally lead a specially trained unit of bowhunters in desert-camouflaged loin cloths into the arid wastes of Mesopotamia to track and fell B'aathists. Even less surprising, former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson, now on NBC's "Law and Order," is currently appearing in a TV commercial praising President Bush for having the "courage to protect our country." The ad, designed as a response to one taped by Mr. Sheen for the liberal group MoveOn.org, is being sponsored by Citizens United, a conservative organization looking to counter the "Hollywood left." But who could predict that Kid Rock, the hard-partying heavy metal rapper and best pal of Miss Crow, had a jingoistic streak? "Why is everybody trying to stop the war? ... Politicians and music don't mix. It's like whiskey and wine. We ought to stay out of it," Kid Rock (born Robert James Ritchie) told reporters at a Grammy Awards party in New York last month. "We got to kill that [expletive] Saddam. Slit his throat. Kill him and the guy in North Korea." Comedian Dennis Miller has taken a similar, albeit slightly more sophisticated line. With a reputation as a nonpartisan critic of politicians of all stripes, Mr. Miller has surprised some media observers with his unequivocal support for a multi-theater war against terrorism. On NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Mr. Miller excoriated France for its posturing and dithering. "I would call the French scumbags, but that, of course, would be a disservice to bags filled with scum. I say we invade Iraq, then invade Chirac," Mr. Miller said. The comedian too smart for Monday Night Football also had this to say about the Bush administration's struggle to assemble an international coalition for the looming war: "I'd like to have allies, too, but what's happening in this world right now is we've got a competency chasm. We're getting really good at what we do, and the whole rest of the world is going to **** in a handbasket. As that gap gets wider, they're going to hate us more and more and more." Mr. Miller, who has in the past characterized himself as a libertarian, told Mr. Leno that the September 11 terrorist attacks crystallized his conservative leanings. Other celebrities speaking out in favor of the war include Howard Stern, who's been razzing "peaceniks" on his syndicated radio show, and actor James Woods, who said in January, "If they harbor terrorists, we should wipe them off the face of the Earth. Eventually, one of these terrorist diaper-heads is going to come around and do something more horrible." And Rob Lowe, who hasn't been heard from much since leaving the liberal-leaning "The West Wing," resurfaced to tell Fox News that Americans should be inclined to support President Bush and the nation's armed forces. To judge from country singer Charlie Daniels' just-published open letter to anti-war celebrities, the devil has left Georgia and set up shop in Hollywood. "You people are some of the most disgusting examples of a waste of protoplasm I've ever had the displeasure to hear about," the fiddler declared. And B-action movie star Jean Claude Van Damme was quoted in the Globe magazine saying, "Some of those in Hollywood are part of the axis of ignorance." Once the lethal-footed thespian straightens out Hollywood, he might take it up with his compatriots in Belgium. __________________ Check out these [Only registered and activated users can see links.
