Big News on Fox! Actress on NORTHERN EXPOSURE (1990-1995) supports Sarah Palin!

[brooklynite]

See, this was a show about ALASKA...and Sarah Palin's from ALASKA...This is HUGH!

[wndycty]

1. Isn't funny how the right views Hollywood then embraces it so quickly whenever someone. . .

. . .there sticks up for them?

[helderheid]

2. Series?

Ehem, the Series Northern Exposure, of course. :)

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

3. But Maggie was from a rich area of Michigan. Figures.... Someone! Contact Bob Morrow, Joel,

and see who he endorses! He was originally from where I grew up in Queens. :)


PS...that was one of my all time favorite shows. It's so cool to see Adam Arkin, who played on Adam, now on the show Life.

[casus belli]

4. Man, this totally blows the Powell enorsement out of the water

Touche, Republicans. We're clearly outmatched.

:sarcasm:

[dkofos]

5. BFD

[Debi]

6. That's it...we've lost the election now....

:rofl:

[Botany]

7. Good Show but who cares about her now?

I think she has had some work done.

[SoxFan]

11. Is she the one on the left or the right?

[elkston]

17. Damn! Nice DSLs. (n/t)

[tabasco]

19. Uggggggggggly puffed up lips.

WHY DO THEY DO THAT????

[IndianaGreen]

27. What happened to her lips?

From Wiki:

Turner at the Governor's Ball after the 1992 Emmy Awards.

S€eems to have spread to her brain.

8. Yes, well, the real female star of the show was Elaine Miles

And SHE is an Obama volunteer.:)

[Ichingcarpenter]

9. They went to this endorsement right after Powell endorsed

They were scrambling for spin, I know they had her lined up as a rapid response
to Powell. I really enjoyed watch Faux this morning seeing them spin everything
including Palin's SNL's failure. They played about 12 seconds of it and promised
to play more but never did in the whole morning segment. They also said 'she was good fun' and 'didn't blow her lines'

They finally came back with a black conservative columnist to spin the Powell endorsement.

The McCain/Palin Network were pathetic this morning.

[Higher Standard]

16. Yeah, there's offsetting endorsements for you

Obama is endorsed by a still well-respected former general and secretary-of-state, McCain is endorsed by a washed-up television actress known only for one role.

[stevil]

10. Lead stories 8 am Pacific

CNN - Powell endorsement
MSNBC - Powell endorsement
Fox - Background checks for McCain/Obama to help prevent a terrorist attack and Obama broke a fundraising record but he cheated.

The Fox crew are doing everything they can to avoid mentioning anything about the endorsement and piling on the negative but the anchors are visibly upset. Sellouts.

[LiberalFighter]

12. What has she done since "Northern Exposure"?

Rob Morrow as Dr Joel Fleischman is Don Eppes in Numb3rs now in season 5.

[mikekohr]

13. She Was ALWAYS A Republican and a Big Supporter Of George W. Bush

How's that worked out?

[TheZug]

14. Janine Turner always dumb, always conservative (though still HOT on Northern Exposure).

[KingFlorez]

15. It's no secret she's always be a big Repuke

It's not like this is surprising or anything, FOX News is so dumb.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

18. And she said she "met (Palin) ONCE"!

[zulchzulu]

20. Does Turner support Palin's draconian 4th Century view on abortion?

No abortion even in cases of rape and incest?

Wow.

[greyl]

21. Appropriate comments from Joel to Maggie:

"You wanna know what you're doing? You are turning your back on reason - on Mankind's struggle to pull itself out of the mire of ignorance and superstition. You are saying yes to witchhunts and inquisitors, slamming the door on enlightenment, and you are inviting back the dark ages. I'm not doing this for you, O'Connel. I'm doing this for civilization."
-- Joel to Maggie on Northern Exposure

Besides, we all know the only endorsement from NE that matters is Marilyn Whirlwind's. ;)

[melody]

22. And I've heard Elaine (Marilyn) is an Obama volunteer :)

To heck with Turner. lol Great quote, though, thanks for posting it.

[greyl]

30. Hey, cool! :) nt

[ibegurpard]

23. I thought the right wing

thought that entertainment people needed to shut their mouths when it comes to politics?
:shrug:

[anonymous171]

24. I think this highlights how foreign Palin is.

I mean, how can someone from Alaska identify with the voters on the mainland?

[Blondiegrrl]

25. Whashertits is a Republican who has always supported Republicans.

Yo Fox, guess what: That's not news.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. She can't see her career from her house.

[melody]

28. LMAO! One of the best lines I've read all day.

:rofl:

[MagickMuffin]

29. Janine Turner Christoga: She quotes bible scriptures while doing yoga

:puke:

:rofl:Here's the video link, WARNING: don't eat or drink while watching.:spray:

[greyl]

32. Holy crap. That's sad and funny at once. nt

[MagickMuffin]

34. My hubby came across this a few months ago

I was disgusted by her bastardizing Yoga.

[Left Is Write]

33. Without looking it up, I know that you mean Janine Turner.

She's always been a Republican, so no big news there.

[Puzzler]

35. The actress who played Maggie...

... was always a right-wing religious nut job. I remember reading about her a few years ago, she's from Texas and a hard-core fundamentalist. Former model/beauty queen too, if I remember correctly.
