Comments on: Tim Robbins to Board of Elections: thanks for publishing my address http://www.celebitchy.com/22931/tim_robbins_to_ny_city_board_of_elections_thanks_for_publishing_my_address/ Stylish celebrity escapism Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:05:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Capt Bob http://www.celebitchy.com/22931/tim_robbins_to_ny_city_board_of_elections_thanks_for_publishing_my_address/#comment-147230 Capt Bob Fri, 21 Nov 2008 18:28:23 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=22931#comment-147230 Robbins, like everyone else, want's special treatment. He is able, because of his celebrity, to get it. I'm glad he pushed the envelope here: hopefully it woke up election officials. If Edna Finklestein had done the same thing, I suspect a) she wouldn't have got a hearing or b) we wouldn't be discussing the importance of clear and transparent election procedures. Seems kind of ridiculous that poll workers weren't able to get access to the same information about Mr. Robbin's voting information that he and the judge were able to access just hours later.

He wants special treatment because he's famous, and quite frankly, f*ck that. The Board of Elections falls under the realm of public records.

No matter if you voted for Obama or McCain, I appreciate people who participate in the process. To Jen (the other one) and Cara: I assume you two wouldn't mind posting your full names and addresses here? I'd like to send you both Christmas cards. I applaud Robbins for making a stand.

They are so classy and sincere and genteel in the way they "put out" their activism. I absolutely adore genuine patriotism, and though I disagree with these two people on pretty darned near every issue they issue public opinions about...I have never had anything other than disagreement to reproach them with. Their love of country and devotion to their value system is admirable. They are a classy and perfect example that anyone would do well to follow of how to behave while effectively communicating a political stance. Bravo for Tim. No one should take that kind of crap lying down. I almost never agree with Tim Robbins or his lovely lady, Susan Sarandon politically…but, man, I love those two.

He wouldn't have gotten a court order to vote at 14th St. if he wasn't on the voter rolls there. The Board of Elections is trying to CYA here.
