While I'm on the subject of celebrities getting different treatment than the peasantry, I forgot to mention Rosie O'Donnell's screeching on "The View" television program the other week. She shamelessly used the Amish murders in Pennsylvania for her own political ends, shilling for yet more useless gun laws in the wake of this horrible tragedy. You can watch Elisabeth Hasselbeck, another View host, put her in her place here.
Ms. O'Donnell, you see, wants your kids to be unprotected, but not hers. This editorial in Investor's Business Daily sums it up nicely:
"Back in 2000, when O'Donnell moved to Greenwich, Conn., from Nyack, N.Y., because Greenwich, in her view, was a "safe" community, the Stamford Advocate reported that her bodyguard applied to the Greenwich Police Department for a concealed-weapon permit to carry a firearm when he escorted her then 4-year-old to school. Apparently her children deserve armed protection, but not the children of those in her audience."
Rosie = hypocrite.
Other celebrity hypocrites who feel that they deserve armed protection but that you don't include Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein, liberal anti-gun Senators who possess unrestricted concealed-carry permits in New York City and San Francisco, respectively. These cities are impossible to get a permit in if you are an ordinary peasant, but these people have no problem obtaining them.
Schumer also has an armed guard using New York City police resources, a practice for which he has been condemned.
New York is also the city where a police inspector hand-delivered carry permits to the singer and guitarist of the band Aerosmith, instead of making them appear at police headquarters and detailing the need for a firearm, as required by law. The band members, former junkies, reportedly rewarded the inspector with a limo ride to the venue, as well as backstage passes.
San Francisco is also in Marin County, where the Ross Police Department issued a concealed handgun license to actor and "peace activist" Sean Penn, who has had multiple arrests for assault, including allegedly tying up his then-wife Madonna for 8 hours. Mr. Penn then succeeded in getting two pistols stolen out of his car, which was parked in Berkeley, California, the hotbed of peace activism. The guns were never recovered.
Yet more celebrities who rated carry permits in L.A. and New York, but you didn't:
Phil Spector
Robert Blake
Richard Donner
Donald Trump
Robert De Niro
Harvey Keitel
Howard Stern
Don Imus
Jay Bernstein, a producer/manager who apparently likes to flash his at parties (see above link)
Sylvester Stallone
Kirk Kerkorian
Joan Rivers
Are these people and their families more important than you and yours?
