Look, we know we’ve been hard on all these celebrities blathering on about Sarah Palin lately, but we’re absolutely not going to do it this time.
That’s because, for once, we understand why. When other actors started ragging on Sarah Palin, it was because they were cynically trying to prove that they’re not just moronic overpaid puppets with nice hair. But now Meg Ryan has decided to express her opinion on Sarah Palin, and her rationale for doing so comes from a much purer place.
Don’t you see? Meg Ryan is only trying to jump in on Sarah Palin because she just wants everyone to remember that she actually exists. It’s OK Meg Ryan, we remember. You can go now.
Let’s play a game. It’s a good game that we’ve just invented. It’s called The Next Person To Even Mention Sarah Palin Gets Kicked In The Jaw.
Because, dear God celebrities, we get it. We get that Sarah Palin is a clueless-looking redneck who perpetually lives in the dark, often huddles inside moose entrails for warmth and thinks that Earth was created last Wednesday by a robot with a beard. We get it because you haven’t bloody shut up about it for the last few weeks.
In a way, it proves what a divisive figure Sarah Palin is – the last time Diddy and Matt Damon and Pamela Anderson and Lindsay Lohan spoke out about the same subject it was because the valet service at Nobu can be dreadfully slapdash at times – but, in another way, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.
However, having said that, if there’s one female celebrity who we’ll allow to have an opinion on Sarah Palin it’s Meg Ryan. That’s because Meg Ryan genuinely hasn’t had an opinion about anything since she was ostracised from Hollywood for having it off with Russell Crowe behind Dennis Quaid‘s back and then getting some weird surgery done on her face to made her mouth look like a kind of disgusting fleshy Ikea shelving unit.
So, without any further ado, here’s Meg Ryan’s staggering profound take on Sarah Palin:
“I guess we have to root for her in that her son just went off to Iraq, that’s gotta be really, really tough. But she doesn’t represent my politics at all.”
What? Christ, no wonder you’re not famous any more, Meg Ryan. That hardly makes it seem as if you hate Sarah Palin at all. Didn’t you get the memo? You’re allowed to either hate Sarah Palin with every fibre of your body or dance around in a stetson firing a gun into the sky and crying at Toby Keith songs. That statement? Well, it’s neither. What a completely pointless thing for you to say.
Of course, it helps that Meg Ryan has a new movie, The Women, out. We haven’t bothered to find out what The Women is actually about, but that’s only because it’s called The Women and we assumed it’s about ironing and curtains and periods and stuff. We’re sure it’s very good.
Maybe banging on about Sarah Palin is Meg Ryan’s way to prove that she’s still alive. You know, like Osama bin Laden sometimes does when he releases a new tape and discusses the weather or the last episode of Friends or Cat Deeley‘s new haircut just to make sure that everyone knows it’s recent.
Maybe Meg Ryan only mentioned Sarah Palin during promotion for The Women so people wouldn’t think that it was made in the early 1990s. Because, let’s be honest, that’s realistically when it seems like a comedy drama about rich women slowly gaining their independence starring Meg Ryan, Annette Bening and Bette Midler should have been made, isn’t it.

“that’s realistically when it seems like a comedy drama about rich women slowly gaining their independence starring Meg Ryan, Annette Bening and Bette Midler should have been made, isn’t it.”
No, in fact the ideal time for it to have been made is “Never”.
I will grant you that the early 90s would have been the only time it would have been commercially viable or culturally relevant. And that second part is a bit of a stretch.
Julian Mentat says
Brilliant move on the part of the Republicans. While once-powerful Wall Street banks are going out of business, they invent Sarah Palin and get everybody into a heated argument about mooses and airheads.
I guess that in the next few months, as Middle America’s pensions and investments become near worthless, McCain will announce Kermit as his Chief of Staff.

Stuart Heritage, Sounds like you are in dier need of some attention. Meg ryan like anyone else on earth has a right to say what they feel when they feel. SHe has a right to express herself and so she did. Just cus she hasnt spoken up in years, means that shes trying to get more publicity?? Maybe you couldnt think of a better article to write so u wouldnt get fired so u wrote about this crap. My real question to you is??? Are you really in need of attention so bad you have to talk about ppl who make more money then you? Im sure u are important…. to someone out there, BUT I wouldnt hold my breath.

“Meg ryan like anyone else on earth has a right to say what they feel when they feel”
I think there’s a few people over on the Matt Damon/Puff Daddy threads who might disagree with you, Leanna.
katy says
Jesus, She’s the fucking Governor of Alaska not a beauty queen. She’s got an 83% approval rating in a state when men outnumber women 114 to 100. Does Meg Ryan rag on about Ahhnold, the governor of California?? Spare us. Palin un-jammed a natural gas pipeline proposal that had been languishing for 30 years, talked Canada into letting us run OUR pipeline through THEIR country so that we can have 4 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to the lower 48 states by 2018. All that oil and gas from Alaska so that these Hollywood hacks can heat their swimming pools and fuel their private jets!

FUCK YOU and all your bullshit…burn in hell…yes, hell is real, and warming up for you. You commie pink-o, drug suckin’ fag loving assholes, FUCK YOU!!!!!!
joann says
I think its very funny to watch all the hollywood elite scramble around to comment on Sarah Palin,and in the process offend a large chunk of Americans. I guess they have forgotten who pays to see their movies.
matt says
The fact that the celebrities don’t like her makes me like her even more. The celebrities should stick to the lines written for them and not try to ad-lib. They are supposed to entertain us, that’s all.
jimoflambeau says
Hollywood people..oooh sorry…Hollywood nobodies are just plain stupid. You liberals are such hater mongers, and your acting amd music is so bad
Philip Estrada says
What does Lindsay, Puffy, Matt, Chevy Chase or “Pamela Anderson?” are you kidding me? Look who is talking here people! Unbelievable, that is why this country is going to crap. A Comedian who is about as stupid as they come, Matt is a good Actor but so what. Lindsay Lohan? Pamela Anderson? No Morals People. No Morals. The reason this country has gone down is LIBERAL’s with NO MORALS. GAY MARRIAGES? NO MORALS. BABY KILLING=NO MORALS. GET OUT OF ALL WARS AND LET THE BAD PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY WANT=LOOKING OUT FOR SELF. SELF CENTERED NOT OTHERS CENTERED. All you praise these people cause they show some T/A or rap/act about fantasies. Bay Watch, oh yeah that qualifies you. We are talking POW who went thru the Nightmare for you. That qualifies him for me.

Leanna, meet Katy. Katy, meet Leanna.
Being the Governor of Alaska does not preclude being a beauty queen,
which in fact she is. The correct ratio would be 57-50, and her approval rating in a state with a population that could fit in Central Park, NYC is not
terribly relevant to her ability to govern 300+ million. Seriously. More people show up at Times Square for New Years than live in Alaska.
As for the pipeline that won’t solve our energy problems. Great. If there is an
America left in 2018, and if it isn’t reliant on green energy, we can use the pipeline for a mass asphyxiation.
Why don’t you stand for something and vote for Ron Paul.
Shelley Olson says
Who cares what any celebrity thinks about anything. Because you are a good or bad over paid actor why should that make your opinion and intelligent one that anyone should even consider listening to..? Like Madonna?? Give me a break..like I give a crap what that Ho thinks about politics???
gir says
Estrada? In California? Looks like we got another dirty illegal, coming to this country and takin’ our internet posting jobs. Someone call the INS.
dianeKPB says

Philip Estrada says
Dear Gir,
Estrada, California. True. Dirty Illegal? I think not. Internet Posting Job? If I am a “Wetback”, I’m doing better than you. I work for an Engineering Firm, and no I am not here Illegaly. For that fact my Ancestory has been traced through a Geneoligist from UCLA and another from Pepperdine, tracing it back more than 500 years. I am Mexican, Fernandeno Tataviam AND Yaqui Indian. So you where saying, I am a Dirty Illegal? I know where I am from, and not ashamed of who I am Hence my name. (not gir, whatever that means.) Save your Childish Remarks, INS that was a good one though…where you looking for a Job? Pick up a Gun and Man your Post, or shut it and let the ones that do, do there Job.
A Proud American,
Son of a Koren Veteran,
Philip Estrada.

Somebody call INS this dude is doing the job of like 30 “Proud Republicans” and he’s probably getting paid like 1/3 what a good solid American would.

You people are so so knowing that your guy is going down hill faster than he went up with this Quaylin you will come up with any excuse to back her. I truly am sorry for you if she is your idea of a good Vice President. What a life you must have.

Meg Ryan is kinda cute if you’re into that Jack Nicholson’s Joker character look.
Kiel Watson says
Hey has anyone else heard good things about the Meg Ryan film, “The Deal”? It comes out on DVD soon and I was wondering.
