Boots made for backin' Bush (Nancy Sinatra backs *)

[spotbird]

All hope is lost! The important Nancy Sinatra endorsement has been lost to *. Update your passports now, there in no point in waiting for the election!


WASHINGTON - Nancy Sinatra may wear boots made for walking, but she rode to the White House yesterday on the back of a motorcycle.
The daughter of Frank Sinatra was part of a delegation of Rolling Thunder officials and others who met President Bush near the South Portico of the White House.

[David Zephyr]

13. That's What She & George Have In Common.

Two talentless individuals who have made their livings trading on the name of their old man.

Steven Forbes is another one.

From the article, I wouldn't say definitively that she's backing Bush...but it doesn't look good.

Now her father was an entirely different story...

20. Her father was a Democrat until he was snubbed by JFK.

Frank spent a small fortune re-doing his Palm Springs house to accomodate the Democrat's nominee and his entourage.

But, there was a "hint" of his association with organized crime...so, JFK's handlers put a stop to the visit at the last minute.

Frank never forgave JFK for being slighted.

12. Let Me Connect These Dots:

1 Dot: Nancy liked Frank.

2 Dot: Babs BUSH Hated Nancy.

3 Dot: Do we need any more dots?

[kskiska]

14. She's an embarrassment

nancysinatra.com

and will do anything for publicity, including posing nude (through a vaseline-smeared lens) at age 60 or so and pumping her lips full of collagen. Now that Daddy's gone, she's nothing.

15. One big happy mafia family

I'm sure the connections run deep.

AP) As the "little guy from Hoboken," Frank Sinatra campaigned for Franklin D. Roosevelt. He built a helipad at his Palm Springs estate for John F. Kennedy, and he canceled a concert to fly to Washington when President Ronald Reagan was shot.

For more than 50 years, Sinatra was a friend to presidents. But along the way, he made a political U-turn after a bitter falling-out with JFK.

Mr. Kennedy cut off ties with Sinatra in 1962 because of the singer's reputed mob ties, and "from there on in, it was no longer Frank Sinatra, Democrat; it was Frank Sinatra, Republican," says columnist Army Archerd of Daily Variety.

..snip..

Mr. Kennedy cut Sinatra off in 1962 at the urging of his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, who had seen the FBI files on the singer.

The snub became all the more humiliating for Sinatra when Kennedy stayed at the Palm Desert house of rival crooner Bing Crosby, a Republican. Sinatra's helipad went unused.

So started Sinatra's political turnaround. The man who once helped engineer Kenned's victory became a supporter of onetime Kennedy rival Richard Nixon.

Sinatra's star appeal is evident in a 1971 memo between Nixon presidential aides: "He has the muscle to bring along a lot of the younger lights." ...cont'd

18. No Talent meets No Brains. n/t

[countmyvote4real]

22. but "folksy" n'est-ce pas?

No wonder that mercans are attracted to the brainless and untalented side of life.

Is it not possible to be folksy and smart at the same time?

BTW, she was the slutty and off-ptch Britney Spears of her era.

[ozymandius]

21. What??? Hitch hiking again???

As Nancy Sinatra goes... so gos the nation. :silly:

[bacchant]

23. Ha, another big celebrity endorsement for the re-pukes

Pathetic.

[leesa]

24. I thought she was dead. So she's alive but stupid as ever, huh?

[No Passaran]

25. haha

what was her contribution to human society?

[Dookus]

26. hrmm...

hard to believe. She was a grand marshall at San Francisco Pride two years ago, and gives money to dems. I doubt her vote is going to Bush.
