First he paid homage to Michael Moore by attending the Washington premiere of "Fahrenheit 9/11" last week. At noon today, according to the LA Times, Senator Tom Daschle will be attending a fundraiser lunch on his behalf in Brentwood, California, where various Hollywood luminaries will be "rallying to his side." Tom Daschle sure seems to be hob-nobbing with the Hollywood elite quite frequently of late.
According to the LAT report, Victoria Hopper, the wife of actor Dennis Hopper, will be one of the hosts. The Hoppers have a home on Venice Beach, and have held fundraisers there in the past. I wonder if the Hopper home is the venue for this Daschle fundraiser? That's awfully swank for a man who never tires of telling us he doesn't stray far from his roots.
The picture below is of Dennis and Victoria.
In the spring of 2003, Daschle was in California as a guest of the Director's Guild of America (DGA). While having an "intimate breakfast" with a throng of Hollywood elite that included Warren Beatty, Daschle discussed the problem of "runaway film production," an issue of pressing importance to South Dakota's working families.
Below is Daschle pictured with Warren Beatty.
But wait! There's more! There's also a picture of Daschle with actor Martin Sheen during a College Democrats rally in June 2002.
The question is, in the spirit of the Argus Leader assistant managing editor's promise that the AL will be "the singular source in the state for factual, unbiased news about the candidates," will there be a report in the pages of the AL on this glamorous Hollywood fundraiser? If no such report is forthcoming, the AL won't be such a "singular source" will it?
DOH: It's Martin Sheen Daschle is with, not Charlie. Sorry about that. I've made the correction. A reader also points out that Dennis Hopper claims to be a Republican and a Bush supporter. However, this link shows that Dennis Hopper is a "bundler" for John Kerry.
