Actress Susan Sarandon's voice has been greeting New Yorkers, according to a report in Roll Call's "Heard on the Hill".

Phone calls going out to the state Democrats feature Sarandon's voice urging them to vote for challenger Jonathan Tasini in the upcoming primary.

HOH was surprised when she answered the phone Friday and Sarandon — or her voice, anyway — was on the other end of the line.

“Hi, this is Susan Sarandon.”

“Oh hi!” we started to reply. But we had no time to introduce ourselves; Sarandon quickly blurted out, “Hillary Clinton voted for George Bush’s war. She supports the continued occupation of Iraq. Jonathan Tasini opposed the Iraq War and is calling for the immediate safe withdrawal of a new deal for New York workers. On Sept. 12, please vote for Jonathan Tasini for U.S. Senate.”

The robocalls were scheduled to be blasted all over New York on Friday evening and throughout the weekend.



Go Tasini! :patriot:

Gotta love her. She rocks.

2. Given Senator Clinton's recent vote FOR cluster bombs,

I don't find this surprising.

Cluster bomb? Jeez! Let's go after the little children.

4. Who wouldn't find Sarandon's recommendation well worth following?

After all, she urged us all to vote for Nader in 2000, and nothing bad happened then.

I'm not a Hillary fan, but Susan Sarandon can go blow herself. She's the essence of limousine radical.

Good actress, though!

5. Love it! Kick Hillary to the curb! She needs to go! nt

6. You bet

If I was a NY voter, I would heed the call.
