Sharon Stone Blasts Bush on AIDS
Sharon Stone took no prisoners Thursday night in her opening remarks at the annual Cinema Against AIDS dinner in Cannes.
Speaking before several hundred of the wealthiest people in the world, Stone — a vision in white linen with a Medusa's nest of blond hair extensions — opened the 25th annual AmFar dinner with a thunderbolt against President Bush.
"Our president has spent $167 million on abstinence programs,” she said. “And zero dollars on sex education. Zero dollars on teaching about safe sex."Read the full story

How is it Hollyweird liberals can get away with saying such stupid things?
I'm serious! These people make tons of money and garner tons of respect and many have absolutely no brains whatsoever. There should be a law that takes money away from these idiots every time they say something absurd. AIDS funding would certainly never be an issue.
So Ms. Stone blasts President Bush on AIDS and his spending on abstinence. Yet she fails to mention President Bush has spent and pledged more money on AIDS than any president in history. His $15 billion AIDS spending was also the largest amount ever pledged by any nation. Better yet, if you would combine the money spent on AIDS by every country in the world, the U.S. under Bush is spending more.
However, Stone feels compelled to blast Bush because he's allotted $167 million on teaching our children abstinence. Oh the humanity! Clearly we can see between the legs, I mean lines, of Stone's commentary.

Congrats on your new url!
How is it that nothing is ever said about the good that could come if the money sent to Africa to educate villagers about aids were instead spent on research?
I have always found it strange that the US has a priority on AIDS which, though deadly, is preventable. Why does more deadly disease not get higher priority? Breast cancer kills more people every year than AIDS, yet it gets a fraction of the money. There is no definite way to avoid it, as there is AIDS. We spend a fortune repeatedly telling people to avoid simple high risk behaviors and wonder why the message is not getting through. As I see it, if we have decided to spend such a large amount of money on AIDS, why not spend it on cures or treatments?
The Hollywood crowd makes this an issue because it is advant garde and easy to get into the press... they are without a doubt camera whores.
The Hollywood liberal elite make a big deal about AIDS because so many of them engage in the fun and games practices that can infect them. Essentially they want the government (read "taxpayers") to fund research to find a cure or preventative so they can continue to...uh...to...well, you know, do you know what to each other of the same gender persuasion without worrying about it. Never mind that less is spent on cancer or heart disease research. AIDS has become a political issue to the Malibu multi-millionaires who will moan and groan and expect someone else to pay the bill for the results of their own deviant behavior and life styles. And besides. everyone knows where Ms. Stone's brains are.
Great comments and thanks for checking out the new blog page. I'm stoked to have the url and hopefully it can become a household name.
And you both are spot on when it comes to the liberal elite and AIDS. Case in point is Sharon Stone complaining that Bush would spend money on abstinence, a preventative measure to AIDS. The idea of abstinence to Stone and most other liberals is an orthodox form of thinking that progressives can't seem to grasp. As I said in the post, God forbid we teach our children some morals!
Then again, let's be real here...we're talking about Hollywood.
