Page Six shows its true colors by calling any celebrity who does not support war a "Saddam lover." Gothamist does like the Post for its crazy right wing tabloidism, but this is stupid - we'd like to see proof that these celebrities truly are Saddam lovers, preferably in easily uploadable images.
Also, on the note of Dixie Chick Natalie Maines' remarks about being "ashamed of President Bush," read Stephanie Zacharek's thoughtful essay. People never seem to stop to listen and actually understand what's being said...it's like they just hear Charlie Brown's adults talking "Mwah mwah mwah ashamed of President Bush mwah mwah mwah..." (It's on Salon, which means you have to go through an annoying "ultramercial" to get to it, but it's worth it.)
