Jack Nicholson Video Backs Hillary Clinton

Share

March 01, 2008 3:33 PM

ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton has always had fewer celebrity endorsements than Sen. Barack Obama, but Saturday morning Clinton got a star-studded boost. There is a new YouTube video in which Jack Nicholson expresses his support. And Clinton also received endorsements from Eva Longoria and Melanie Griffith.

Nicholson’s video, which was created independently of the Clinton campaign, shows the actor in his various movie roles saying sound bites that match Clinton’s proposals and plans. The clip includes a newly-filmed statement from Nicholson, plus him in character in "Batman," "A Few Good Men," "Chinatown" and "Five Easy Pieces."

The new support from Longoria and Griffith was announced on Saturday, and the two actresses will be appearing at a town hall meeting the senator is holding on Monday in Austin, Texas.

THOSE APPARENTLY ARE THE ONLY INTELLIGENT CELEBS IN HOLLYWOOD!! WOW! BEAUTY AND BRAINS AND NICHOLSON! COME ON TINSEL TOWN....SUPPORT HILLARY! FOR OUR TROOPS SAKE! I'M TERRIFIED TO EVEN THINK OF WHAT OBAMA WOULD DO FOR THE WAR ON TERROR! HE SHOULD PROLLY JUST GO OVER THERE AND GIVE A NOCK OFF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR SPEECH AND THEN LEAVE. WE'D DEFINATELY BE SCREWED!!!!!

Haha. Perfect slogan.

Jack for Hillary Clinton! Remember the ending of the movie "A few good men" shown in this ad?

Jack made bad judgment as the top general commander and went to jail. Ironic, huh!

Go Obama!

I am glad to see Hillary getting some celebrity support. I would love to see some commercials featuring a room full of women standing shoulder to shoulder from every walk of life, with the message that it is time for a different point of view. Hillary's biggest base of support is women and I think we really need to play that up. I have women friends who are republicans saying they would vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination.

I LOVE Jack Nicholson! I LOVE this video! And, I LOVE Hillary Clinton! Truer words were never spoken. Jack's brain and heart are still working very well....and what age group doesn't matter in this election? Wisdom must come with age. I'm not starry-eyed, are you? I might have "felt a little tingle go up my leg"-chris matthews, but, my brain is still working!

I love Jack Nicholson. He's campaigning already for playing the title role in THE RISE AND FALL OF HILLARY CLINTON. He did the Joker in Batman, he did The Shining, so he sure is the one to take up the job.

Getting closer to Hillary is all part of the great preparation. Gotta love that guy. In an interview he said he'd love to portray her as a female vampire, but these days he's said to focus more on Hillary's Multiple Personality Syndrome.

He'd be just great in bringing that to Hollywood. Can't wait to see it. Kudos to Jack!

Now wait a minute. Did he suggest that there would be anything exciting about having to salute Hillary Clinton?

You may like her politics, but who could deny her having the sexual appeal of a lipsticked skull wearing a blond wig that grins at you from under the demolished stones of a political grave?

Not THAT sexy, if you ask me.

I think McCain is HOT in comparison. Those vain looks in the TV camera while he's adressing the 35 elderly that show up to see him! That is SO exciting.

I hope my grown children don't act like this

Jack always plays psychos. And this is an ad not with Jack speaking, but all his psycho portrayals. Is he saying here you'd have to be psycho to support Clinton?

Posted by: Paul | Mar 1, 2008 8:20:48 PM

Who cares! Jack is not running for office, he should stick to what he knows, acting!!

Please don't tell me Tom Cruise (Jack's opponent in "A Few Good Men") is going to endorse Obama. If that happens I will vote Ralph.

Hit the road, JACK and take Hillary with ya, lol

Teery- Like Oprah should stick to talk shows.

Obama is in trouble, the smoke is disipating. He is running a campaign on just one argument, and yet he admits he made a bonehead desicion with all the information in front of him. He knew Rezko was trouble and yet he dealt with him for self interest. no honest. where is the honesty principle?

Posted by: Juan | Mar 1, 2008 10:34:59 PM

Time for a reality check. While Obama is obviously a nice person, and has a lot of class, this nation is facing some tough, tough, very tough days ahead. We are just a few steps away from a full blown war with the entire middle east. We have an economy that is on the verge of collapsing. We have more people losing their homes then has happened since the great depression. As much as I like Obama, and I do, this is no time to play russian roulette with our future. This is no time for trying something new. We need to stabilize our economy, the housing market, and the world situation, and we need to do it fast. While Hillary might not have the personality of Obama, she does however have the knowledge, and a husband that understands our situation better than probably anybody in America. He will contribute to our presidency, and that means to great leaders to help us get out of this incredible mess. This is not a popularity contest going on here, the stakes are far too high this time to make a mistake. Further down the road when things are stable, then I am all for trying something new and different. For now though, we need solid leadership to stop from sliding further into the abyss.

JACK is my HERO.

Thanks a million Jack
Thanks rob reiner

Barrack says he voted NO on the N.A.F.T.A bill,when he had yet to
became a Senator or, any kind of political vent until much later in his life. That bill was signed during the Clinton Administration and, was drafted by a primarily Republican Congress, was it not. Democrat Gene Taylor back in 2007 was a team of 3 House members to introduce resolution to the agreement. I don't think our trade problem is with Canada or, Mexico as much as it is with China. Corporations are at the root of moving business for self gain, not trade bills, those only make it legal to do so. I also find it funny that no one has said anything about the E.P.A. bill that was also passed by The Clinton Administration, which was trashed by The Bush regime so big corporations could continue to kill of our water supplies with there toxins. The revisions that Hillary has signed in for our Military after they needed medical care from combat injuries were drawn up years ago.
As far as Terrorism goes, The Clinton Era was the only time we came even close to tagging Osama Binladden and, was scrubbed by someone other than the President. The Clinton Administration gave us 8 good years and, they will get
my vote as they always have. A Disenfranchised American Machinist. Scott Hall

How is a sexist video an endorsement of ANYTHING! Oh right, sexist is what everybody BUT Democrats are, okay. I'm sorry folks but I found ths ad creepy... Really creepy.

HRC supporters, with all your respect, this is not Bill Clinton's campaign, it is hers. Haven't you seen enough already of her self-pity, broken, unprepared, sleazy campaign? That is exactly how she will run this country and all the enemies of America are just rubbing her hands waiting for it. Another woman will come along, the RIGHT woman, this one isn't it.
