Damn. I can't see Jennifer Lopez & Ice Cube on Anaconda now 'cuz I'm boycotting Jon Voight movies.

Angelina Jolie’s Dad And Conservative Media Defend Jane Pitt Against The Liberal ‘Double Standard’

Brad Pitt’s father-in-law-to-be — Jon Voight — spoke out in defense of the superstar’s mother, Jane, who has come under intense fire because she wrote a letter to her local newspaper expressing conservative Christian social views—and a preference for Mitt Romney over President Barack Obama.

Academy Award-winner Voight, is more than just Angelina Jolie’s dad, he’s also one of Hollywood’s most reliable conservative voices. On Tuesday, he flatly told Fox News that he agrees with Jane Pitt’s views. “Good for her” for expressing them, Voight said.

The controversy concerning Pitt’s mom arose after she wrote a letter to Missouri’s Springfield News-Leader in which she described Obama as “a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.” The paradox is that Jane Pitt’s missive was intended as a plea for tolerance and a response to another News-Leader correspondent who argued that Christians should not vote for Romney because he’s a Mormon. The star’s mother argued that fellow Christians should give “prayerful consideration” to supporting the presumptive GOP nominee, who she called a man of “high morals” whose values she contrasted with those of Obama.

Because of her famous son, the roof fell in, and Pitt quickly found herself being reviled as a homophobe.

after a long departure. He said everyone kept asking him about his dilapidated physical appearance. The most common question was, "Was it the drugs?"
