Susan Sarandon Criticizes Hillary Clinton

Image by wenn.com

Susan Sarandon won't be playing Hillary Clinton anytime soon in a movie. She's just publicly attacked the Senator, calling her a "whiner."

When Sarandon was asked if she'd ever play Hillary, she replied, "No…At this point, to say after what's happened to her campaign and how they squandered all that money and all the different reasons her campaign fell apart, to blame it on sexism, I find so destructive to every young girl who dreams about making a difference through government.

Instead of saying, 'Look how far I've gotten and you can do it too,' and all the positive things she could have done, she's turned into such a blamer and whiner, as if that was the reason, when clearly she wouldn't have been in the position she was in if she hadn't been a woman.

To now turn around and say it was sexism I find so dishonorable and really destructive to women all over, young women all over. So I don't really respect her enough to want to play her, and I find it sad and disappointing."

We wonder what Susan thinks about Sarah Palin?

I came to this site for grins and giggles and got plenty! Crack on Susan Sarrandon for stating her opinion just like you have done and push Hillary Clintons "18 million votes" and call it a day. What a hoot! For all Clintons votes, she didn't win did she? Something to be said about that too.

Where has Susan been? Sexism was the attitude through Hillary's whole campaign. It hit her at every turn. Plus the DNC destroyerers. Give her and the media time on Sarah. They didn't see her coming and she sucker punched them all. Ha. She was awesome and no one enjoyed it more than Hillary. It was so sweeeet to watch her warn the media. Never saw that done. Epitimy of cool. Looked them straigt in their faces and warned them that she was not going to DC for them. She was going to work for our country. Wish I had the exact words, but that's close. Susan you disappoint me but it really does not matter. There can't be too many roles left for you anyway.

Who are you but an old washed up Star who needs to get her facts straight,!!! Stay out of Politics and stick to what you use to know.Acting which it seems you have lost your touch. You should be ashamed. You should be honored to play the part of a Woman who has such Grace and Dignity.She didn't get those 18 million Votes for Nothing. I also agree with alot of people that she should of been Obama's choice for VP but she is backing him 150% along with Former President Bill Clinton and that is good enough for me. Char

You all need to get lives. She, like all you losers, was stating her opinion. Lighten up...these millionaires talk shit to get all you "little people" against each other and it works. Well, let me tell you something: what you think really doesn't matter to her...she's still richer than you, and whether you want to admit it or not, that's all that counts in the world. :) Love Hilary, but you guys have to admit she was always going back and forth on her issues...she wasn't reliable. Watch more CNN and read less of this Hollyscoop crap and maybe you'll learn a thing or two...chao!

I really like Sarandon as an actress but now I wonder about her as a person... It is not OK to call Clinton a whiner. Has Sarandon accomplished all that Hillary did. Look how Clinton up-leveled the whole primary and many people in states that used to not count, counted for once. Get a grip Susan. Hillary is the only one who can help put Palin in her place and continue to move women forward and definitely help Obama and Biden win. These two MEN need her to put Palin in her place.

Edit: that should read "18 million cracks in the glass ceiling" Sorry about that. The anger was clouding my eyesight.

Evidently, Sarandon didn't watch Clinton's speech at the DNC. I believe she emphatically said that her campaign put 18 million votes in the glass ceiling and the main message was to all women young and old, you can do anything you want...even be president of the United States. Sarandon should do everyone a favor and shut up. She doesn't know what she's talking about and 18 million people in this country are the ones who know that it always was about gender for the nitwit media and the good old boys of the DNC. We all know Clinton didn't blame anyone, the media implied that she did. Old Susie needs to vet her own candidate, Obama, who has no experience other than the Chicago mobster politics. He has so many skeletons in the closet, he can't get the door shut. By the way, Sarandon, exactly what has he done for the people and what bills or amendments has he passed? Oh wait, he was a senator for maybe 10 months and then has spent the rest of the time campaigning and stealing primaries via the caucus, and whining about people using the race card.

Who cares what this angry, washed up "Hollywoodie" babe thinks about Hillary? Besides, it would be a big disservice for Hillary to be portrayed on-screen by a nobody like this WOEman!

Susan, I totally agree that you should never even be considered for the role of Hillary in ANY film. You are no Hillary. You are a fat cat who takes care of herself first and then bores the rest of us with your overbearing and self satisfied opinion. Those are the roles you should stick to! What you know about feminism you could fit in your push up bras.

The libs are losing it. I can't wipe this grin off my face.

Just who does Susan Sarandon think she is to call Hillary a whiner. Hillary has more class than Susan could ever hope to have. 18 million voters knew Hillary as the best hope to bring this country back from all the damage done by the present administation and the other democrats were too blinded to realize it.

Who cares what this washed-up, haggard, wretched has-been has to say about Hillary? When is the last time her (or her filthy husband) had an intelligent thought (or a bath)! She isn’t attractive, smart or clean enough to play Hillary anyway! I’d say the Cruella DeVille role in the next remake of 101 Dalmatians would be much more appropriate. Hillary is a role model for women all over the world. Her grace and strength are inspiring and she whacked 18 million cracks in that glass ceiling (while getting more votes than any other candidate in the history of presidential primaries).
