Jack Nicholson supports Hillary, won't criticize Bush ("I support every president. Period.")


“You do not become militant if you wish to be a successful propagandist. Because all you will do is preach to the choir and further entrench your opposition.”

That’s worth a signature Jack eyebrow arch. But while he hints at folding progressive messages into his movie roles, Nicholson in conversation also has the crowd-pleasing ability of a natural actor to take both sides of an issue — and make you believe him.

He calls former British Prime Minister Blair a “rock star ... he’s wonderful” and says he supports Hillary Clinton in the presidential race (“I’m a friend of the family”). Nicholson acknowledges being “a lifelong Irish Democrat. What more can I say? I voted for what’s his name, (1988 presidential candidate Michael) Dukakis. This was the real test for a Democrat.”

Yet he also won’t criticize President Bush: “I’m always at odds with my own constituency. I support every president. Period.”
