It's not surprising that most of Hollywood backs Barack Obama in the general election. John McCain has been welcome for the occasional movie cameo, but at the end of the day, they're going to go with a Democrat. But how are celebrities, especially women, reacting to Sarah Palin's emergence on the national stage?Lynne Spears, the mother of Britney and 16-year-old mother Jamie Lynn, had a care package sent to Palin daughter Bristol.
Robin Williams on David Letterman doing his best impersinations of reactions to Palin's debut from within the McCain/Bush camps.
Albert Brooks, a great comedic actor, puts on his concern troll mask:
Do we want a president who cannot communicate to their own child that possibly having a baby a year after you get your driver's license is not the smartest thing to do? Is this the new way for women to break the glass ceiling?
Rod Lurie, creator of the short-lived ABC sitcom, "Commander in Chief," about a female VP who ascends to the chief executive post, says Palin isn't qualified:
"Picking a woman is an absolute strategic idea from McCain's point of view. He's not talking about governing right now. The idea of this woman actually facing down [Vladimir] Putin and negotiating with [Dmitry] Medvedev is idiotic."
And finally, to the pinnacle of political thought. On her MySpace blog, Lindsay Lohan says it should be about the issues, not Bristol Palin's pregnancy:
I get Sarah Palin's views against abortion, but i would much prefer to hear more about what she can do for our country rather than how her daughter is going to have a child no matter what. Maybe focus on delivering some words and policy with stronger impact like Joe Biden.

It can all be very easily summed up. Just ask yourself, "Don't you think she looks tired?"
