Jessica the Airhead

Can you believe this air head gets a lifetime achievement award and uses the time to badmouth our president? I like her better when she's doing nude scenes with those magnificent boobs pointing out. That would be the same as 'barefoot and pregnant' wouldn't it?

Jessica, shut up!

Jessica the great

It is sad how ignorant some can be, especially the kind who resort to such low-brow comments as the one above - No doubt some sore loser who can not come to terms with the fact that this country was founded by the idea that freedom of speech would empower the individual - not shackle them to a failing administration. If we all simply followed the powers that be, we'd truly be powerless. The fact that ms. Lange has empowered herself as an individual, and has the balls ( pardon the phrase ) to raise public awareness by NOT being APATHETIC is very inspiring. She is fearless. The statement by the above is not only ugly and rather ignorant, but also cowardly and stupid.
