Most of my Hollywood Conservative Guys (call them the Corner Left Coast Right Wing Conspiracy) liked Ned Rice’s “Friends of Ronnie” piece we ran on Inauguration Day last week; but one (who laughed, but then cried) had an interesting reax:

I would like to declare a moratorium on the ‘Hollywood conservatives are closeted’ bit. Worrying that to declare support for Bush is to commit career suicide is silly. And worse, its cowardly. The fact
is, people in Hollywood don’t really mind a Republican voice – but they will bristle at an annoying Republican voice. Be brave, but be sensible. No one really wants to argue politics at work, and this is
especially true if your side is 0 and 2 for the century. But really,
are there people pretending to laugh at the “Bush is an idiot” jokes
out of fear? Don’t they get it? We’re Republicans, dammit, and we
can kick anyone’s a–!
