Best known for her role in the movie “Sideways,” actress Virginia Madsen has teamed up with the League Of Women Voters and Botox Cosmetic in what many consider an appealing election effort.
According to a press release, the mission of the public service campaign is “to encourage women to make smart choices in politics and beauty by expressing themselves at the polls and the doctor’s office.”
“Educating and expressing yourself are essential in the voting booth and the doctor’s office,” Dermatologist Jody Comstock explained.
The doctor urges her patients “to explore their options and get information about treatments like Botox Cosmetic, which temporarily eliminates the appearance of stubborn frown lines between the eyebrows in people ages 18-65.”
Dem veep candidate Joe Biden is not officially part of the Botox campaign but appears to have done a great job in eliminating any stubborn frown lines of his own.
News surrounding the votox-botox campaign does not seem to be raising any eyebrows.

Broadway, George Bush, Will Ferrell

Before Tina Fey created the Sarah Palin knockoff, Will Ferrell gained fame for his “Saturday Night Live” impersonation of President Bush.
Now the comedic film star has plans to bring his presidential mimicking to the Broadway stage.
“You’re Welcome America – A Final Night With George W. Bush” will enable Ferrell to make his stage debut in a one-man show.
The actor will collaborate with “Anchorman” and “Talladega Nights” writer Adam McKay for a performance that’s scheduled to open in 2009.
Ferrell generally approached his SNL Bush in a lighthearted way.
A quote attributed to Ferrell may fuel some optimism for the Broadway Bush character: “I’m no tortured, anger-stoked, deeply neurotic comic. Just a pretty low-key normal guy – a, ‘Hey, the glass is half-full’ kind of a guy. But please keep it quiet, or I may never work again.”

Barack Obama is set to receive an endorsement—sort of.
The support will reportedly come from iconic cartoon character Homer Simpson.
In an upcoming episode of the Fox animated series, which is scheduled to be aired two days prior to the election, Bart’s dad will explain his support for the Dem candidate.
“Obama cares about people like me,” Homer declares. “I haven’t been blessed with intelligence, a strong work-ethic, or sound moral judgment. But I have needs. An Obama administration will make it easier for guys like me to get what we need.”
Homer attempts to vote using an electronic voting machine.
“It’s time for a change,” he says as he repeatedly pushes the Obama button on the machine. But instead of votes for Obama, the machine indicates half a dozen votes for John McCain.
Ultimately the voting machine devours Homer whole, while he screams, “This can’t happen in America.”
If McCain wins the election, don’t be surprised if Dems use the “machine ate my hubby” excuse to launch a lawsuit.
