No Thanks

Lloyd Grove reports today that liberal Hollywood is just as supine as the Washington press corps when the Bushies demand their presence:

When Laura Bush calls, even staunch Democrats Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, along with stars Tobey Maguire and Bill Macy, answer. The Hollywoodites screened the DreamWorks movie “Seabiscuit” last night at the White House for President Bush and his wife, an admirer of the movie-inspiring bestseller by Washington writer (and dinner guest) Laura Hillenbrand. “There’s no truth to the rumor that sugar cubes and carrots were on the menu,” a White House wag told us yesterday.

I have it on excellent authority that Jeff Bridges and Chris Cooper both declined the invitation — and not because they had other plans.

Not everyone in Hollywood is a ho.
