These two clowns. I really hate them. And don’t get me wrong, I think they’re both brilliant actors. In fact, Shawshank Redemption is my all-time favorite movie and probably always will be. And Susan has been good in stuff too - like Lorenzo’s Oil, which made me bawl for days. But outside of movies, I want them to just shut up already. I am so tired of their hypocritical bleeding hearts and their endless bitching about stuff.
So you probably know, because they are SO FREAKING VOCAL ABOUT IT, that they are invovled with all sorts of causes, like, for example, Susan is a card-carrying member of some organization whose sole purpose is to elect democratic pro-abortion people to office. They also, to their credit, support genuinely useful charities to help those less fortunate.
However, it turns out they’re really only interested in helping the less fortunate when those less fortunate aren’t inconveniencing them in some way. They recently attended a hearing to protest St. Vincent’s hospital’s request to renovate and enlarge their facility which is just three blocks from their house.
A proponent of the rebuild said, ”The hospital provides $40 million in care to the indigent every year. Robbins dismissed more than 100 people rallying in support of the hospital - low-income, union workers and veterans of the AIDS crisis - as ‘those people out there.’ ”
Typical.
HATE.
I, myself, am a bleeding heart liberal. But mostly for animals causes. But Susan Sarandon, in particular, makes me ill. I never could really explain it, but now you have for me. She is one of those NIMBY people. (Not In My Back Yard). Around here there is for some reason a big call for meth clinics. But no one is willing to have them in their neighborhood or their town. Just like prisons and animal sanctuaries…They have to be somewhere people. And if a hospital needs to expand to save lives, damnit, that is what being a true democrat is all about, Susan. So Shut the F*** Up!
Hypocrisy at its finest!
They’re the doucheiest kind of douchebags. I hate to quote Denis Leary, but “pull that bus over to the side of the pretentiousness turnpike.”
Still, Tim Robbins was great in *High Fidelity* and *Bull Durham*, and Sarandon has nice cans for an old broad.

Eeew.
the question is: is there anything that Susan and Tim Robbins DON’T bitch about??
Will leave that question to the great philosophers of our time….like Lindsay Lohan and Denise Richards.
Didn’t they say they would leave if Bush got elected? Why the hell are they still here?
You know, I live in the L.A. area, and I absolutely detest the Westside, where many of the celebrity (and most of the liberals) live.
It’s not just the pretentiousness, and the shallowness … it’s the sense of entitlement that seems to be a hallmark of being liberal out there. They are the most self-centered, RUDEST people. They have to be first in line, they can’t wait even a few seconds for ANYTHING (because they’re so very very important).
Knowing this, I’m not surprised at all that these bleeding heart wackos don’t want the hospital to expand. It’s COMPLETELY in keeping with the pattern of the Westside.
…its funny, Sarandon’s totally the power in that relationship, she sets the tone- hey at least they seem to have a good marriage.
@hatchetwoman, I am a bleeding heart liberal and I want the hospital to expand. And they could even build it in my backyard. Not all liberals are whackos. Just like not all conservatives are, but Bush, McCain, and Cheney are definitely whackos! And they don’t give a crap about the hospitals either!
Whew…end of rant, nothing personal. I just hate being called a whacko!
Easy sbarros, no one called you, personally, a whacko.
Chill out on Bush, McCain and Cheney too - unless you’d like to back up the namecalling with any factual data that they “don’t give a crap about hospitals.” That sounds like something that a bleeding heart liberal would just throw out there without any basis.
