What It's All About -

What It's All About - Hollywood's brigade of leftists is battered but not beaten by the victory in Iraq or the hatred so many Americans are heaping on them. According to Mike "BJ" Farrell:

Mike Farrell, star of television's "MASH" and organizer of "Artists United to Win Without War," told Reuters that those who joined the loyal opposition in Hollywood had not been silenced and certainly were not backing down.

Instead, he said, the "huge coalition" of those opposed to the war were gathering strength and preparing to fight another day -- over post-war Iraq, domestic issues and future "preemptive strikes" by the Bush administration.

"What's the point of me saying anything right now, while they're in the end zone doing the dance and spiking the football?" Farrell said. "They are going to do the thing they are going to do, but we'll be heard from when it's appropriate and in the manner that is appropriate."

Good to hear our vital stars and former stars are hanging in there, with all of that pesky freedom and end of torture and stuff breaking out and all.

But Janeane Garofalo knows how to keep it all in perspective:

Garofalo, working hard on her upcoming ABC sitcom, did not respond to interview requests for this story. But she told the Washington Post last week that her anti-war stance had been a "positive" experience that had helped her career.

"Before this I was a moderately well-known character actress," she told the paper. "Now, I'm almost famous."

That's our Hollywood; they bend, but they don't break.
