Nov 4 2008Carrie Underwood bitch-slaps Hollywood

Country music star Carrie Underwood has no love for celebrities who can't keep their endorsements to themselves, according to TV Guide:

"There is someone I do support, but I don't support publicly. I lose all respect for celebrities when they back a candidate. It's saying that the American public isn't smart enough to make their own decisions.

You're right, Carrie Underwood, celebrities should stop endorsing candidates. (Except for McLovin. That kid's hilarious!) Which is why you should bikini wrestle Lindsay Lohan and Elisabeth Hasselbeck in the mudpit I made with a garden hose out back. But don't do it for the camera hidden in the lawn gnome. Do it for democracy!

The dumb bitch probably supports bush

Who respects celebrities in the first place?

That's dumb. Celebrities are still American citizens and have the right to publicly endorse candidates. I'm a nobody, and I;ll tell anyone who'll listen who I endorse. Any American should be able to voice their support. And BTW Carrie, the American public is smart enough to make their own decisions, which is why a celebrity endorsement will not sway the election.

Celebrities are people to an they can endorse whoever they want publicly. And the American public AREN'T smart enough to make their own decisions. Thats why we're in the mess we're in.

No wonder she cant keep a man, she's too deep,,,but right in a sense...

I suspect she supports Stalin. Communist.

Comment review- sexist and not funny

Funny, last i heard americans CANT make their own decisions.

fucking redneck yokels, just vote for Obama god dammit

Finally!

The only person hotter than Carrie Underwood is Taylor Swift (now that she is 18).

Everyone backs a candidate. Why can't celebrities? Just because they are famous, they can't voice their opinion as to who they support?

Lt the celebrities speak their mind. We each can choose to disagree.

Carrie makes no sense. She doesn't respect someone who voices their opinion? She's a dumb celebrity, unworthy of respect for such an inane comment.


I Voted For Nader by Thought Riot

Poignantly phrased to shift the burden of the blame
Sick and tired but you keep on marching in their same old parade
Accuse, construe - dare I even venture - abuse,
Frustrations channeled through the paths worn well with use

Binary politics, packaged sound bite rhetoric;
And you think it makes no difference?
Watered down party lines, beholden to corporate ties;
And you still inquire why?

Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh
I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh.

And one more time around,
The played out reasons why:
"Jack knife the diesel to let the bicycle pass on by"
Reproaching failed attempts
At restoring representative government
This poli-earthquake is long over due

Plastic smiles and candy lies,
Prestige built on family ties;
And you find it so offensive.
Dirty mouths and muddied hands,
Promises written in sand;
Still every election you comply?

Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh
I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh.

A pointed finger, a furrowed brow,
Relying on the way's it's been,
To get us through the now
A waning courage, just play it safe.
Well this is where safe's landed us: The problems of today!

Reach out a broken hand! - You have the right to make demands!
Reach out a broken hand! - We have the right to make demands!

Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh
I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh

She is perfect....

She's right about Americans not being smart enough to decide for themselves. Just look at all these morons voting for Obama....

Wow, she managed to sound even more self-righteous than the endorsing celebrities she is criticizing. And I agree with #3 and #4, anybody has a right to announce who they're going to vote for, particularly if they are a public figure and they feel it might make a difference. It might or it might not, depending on who is doing the endorsement, but to say you lose respect for someone simply because they are engaged politically, is beyond dumb.

Whatever - She just knew she'd get publically flogged for admitting she's voting for McCain/Carribu Barbie She's probably religious or racist or afraid of having her top 2% tax bracket take a hit. She should grow a pair and speak her mind and admit she's an idiot instead of pissing on other actors who aren't such chickens.
Stupid Redneck.

GOD, THIS GIRL MAKES THE WORST MUSIC EVER!!!

Oh and she is a moron. She is probably too stupid to understand what free speech means.

Wow, so right and so wrong at the same time...

"It's saying that the American public isn't smart enough to make their own decisions." No, it's saying that the celebrity needs attention at all times and sees an opportunity to get some publicity while the public is "distracted" by non-entertainment issues (real life). The same thing happened with all the celebs getting confused when nobody paid attention to them right after 9/11, and then they said "I know...TRIBUTES! WE'LL DO TRIBUTE SHOWS!" to shoehorn themselves into the spotlight of national mourning.

But, yes, the American public is, in fact, not smart enough to make their own decisions. Every election is determined by "undecided voters" who are the largest bunch of retards just barely smart enough to cast a random vote. Here's how this election should have gone for undecided voters: "gee, let's see, a young black guy with progressive liberal (kinda) policies and an old white guy with traditional conservative (kinda) policies...gee...I dunno...I can't see much difference...hmmm..." ***BANG*** -- a shot in the head, the undecided voter is dead, an idiotic vote is eliminated. As Ben Franklin said, in a democracy an informed vote counts exactly as much as the vote of a complete idiot.

I guess that means she doesn't respect the "Govenator", or Hank Williams Jr. for that matter......


"Thought Riot" is the gayest group of untalented non-musicians, exceeded only by their fans.

Why is every country music star so dumb? And why do they all have that blank, inbred hillbilly look? Is that what sells to the rednecks?

Yes, the blank inbred hillbilly look is crucial - country music fans become irate when they see signs of east coast liberal elitism (intelligence).

How can you agree with #3?? You're telling me that half the American Public doesn't emulate their favorite celebrities? Yes, I think that would include voting for their candidate of choice. And, since they KNOW how influential their lives are, endorsing candidates as a celebrity can be misconstrued as manipulative. Look at something as stupid as the Jennifer Aniston haircut back in the 90s... you're telling me they're not influential? Jesus. If they're gonna change their entire appearance because of a ridiculous character, I'm fairly certain they'll hold any endorsement with the highest regard.

Don't get me wrong; I'm all for having celebrities encourage voting in a general sense. But don't tell me they don't know how heavy their influence is when they're endorsing a candidate. They know and they use it to their advantage. Good for her for calling them out.

I honestly think she's right, it's not a celebs place to endorse a candidate.
Yes, even though I don't listen too or like her music she has a damn good point.

jeez... looking over the comments allot of you people are complete dicks.

I like her.

Stop with the politics folks. This is The Superficial not the Daily Kos.

Doesn't anyone have anything funny to say about Pic 8?

Celebrities have a mind? Of their own? Or just a constant liberal collective that never sways no matter the candidate?

I'm voting for Obama, but lets face it, celebrities are notorious for always supporting a democrat. No matter what. There is no denying it.

She's right. They're not.

I endorse Carrie Underwood as President of my penis. It's a republican penis.

She's right. They're not.

I get annoyed with celebrity endorsements because half of them are high school dropouts who don't have to work hard to earn a buck. They are completely different from the average American, so it's silly to me that I would have anything in common with their political views. I'm so happy this election is almost over. This whole debate thing is extremely tired already.

Yeah I know #20, having an ability to write actually meaningful lyrics (and write them well), play instruments and sing live means a group is completely untalented. No really, in this day and age, that's exactly what it means.

thank you carrie, you said what many americans have been thinking. total respect for you.


Good for her.

Oh surely SomeChick is not comparing the Presidential Election to a hairstyle that mostly teenagers too young to even vote emulated. Celebrities endorsing political candidates say nothing about the American people and everything about themselves. Only a self-righteous, self-involved celebrity actually believes that people are going to vote for the candidate that they endorse just because they said to do so. Instead of "losing all respect" for those celebrities who get involved in something bigger than just posing in front of their wax statues, making commerials for gaming units, or spreading rumors about Tony and Jessica, Carrie should learn something from them.

Damn, now I have to go out and buy her album to support her. First intelligent thing i've heard from a celebrity in a long time.

When Lindsay Lohan and Madonna are telling you what to do, doing the exact opposite is probably the way to go.

She can bitch slap me when ever she wants..

Free speech. They can say anything they want. Don't like it - move to Iran.

But, please, celebrities sway actual votes? Pop cultural campaigns - especially MTV's Rock the Vote - are notorious for FAILING to increase turnout in the groups they target (young fools). If they had even the slightest real impact, John Kerry would be president right now.

#23 has it right, in a mixed up way. Some people copy celeb's appearances - hair styles, clothing, etc. - in a way that's right on topic: superficial. Nobody copies their thinking. Or, at least, the people who do are not the ones who actually vote. Oh, they may bray loudly about politics every so often, mindlessly repeating whatever some celeb said, but they quickly bail out of genuine political debates (just like the people here saying "can't we shut up about politics on Election Day and just focus on her overly small left areola?") and they DO NOT bother to register or find out where they need to go to vote or actually go there and stand in line and vote. They're classic empty vessels making loud noises.

Look, she's showing you the nice load I just deposited in her mouth in pic 8.

She has me do that before she goes on stage to lube the ole vocal chords.

Great, we're back to skinny boring fake blond white girls. I guess the previous set of pictures made all the homos feel uncomfortable.

She's probably keeping it to herself because she's voting for McCain. I wouldn't want people to know I was voting for the same candidate as Heidi and Spencer either.

She's just saying that because she slept with McCain, and he conned her into voting for him if he promised not to tell anyone.

Mmm mmm.

Understandable. I mean, why let people know you supported the LOSER?

Look, she's showing you the nice load I just deposited in her mouth in pic 8.

I think I want to hit that more now. A woman who understands when it's time not to talk. :D

i like her

with her ass in the air so i don't have to see her face

Wow...now, if I go back to the "articles" that have the YouTube videos of celebs endorsing candidates will I see people saying "Right on Matt Damon! You have the right to publicly endorse whomever you choose!" or "Fuck celebs, what the fuck do they know? Why the fuck should we listen to them?"

I'm thinking it will be the latter...

Yeah, celebrities are citizens, too. But they also have a responsibility to put some thought into what they say. Just because the mike is on, it doesn't mean that you spout out any stupid shit that occures in your little pea-brain. "Omigawd! Like, vote for Obama, okay? 'cause, like, everyone else is!"

Bono is a good example of someone who has the right to speak. He dedicates his life to good works (not just run his mouth), and he actually sounds thoughtful in what he says. As a celebrity, he's extremely atypical.

Thank you, smartest celebrity political comment even spoken.

carrie has such ugly eyes. actually shes ugly all over. the cunt probably supports palin/mccpain too.

# 48 Bono is an idiot he lives the life of riley and if he cared so much he'd reduce his footprint and donate shitloads of money. If i want political intelligence i'll go to an educated academic not singers/actors/assorted idiots. They don't live in the real world and therefore don't deal with the shit consequences of government decisions.

"Just because the mike is on, it doesn't mean that you spout out any stupid shit that occures in your little pea-brain. "

Jesus. What part of "free speech" do people misunderstand (or, as Bush would say, misunderestimate)? If you disagree, argue. Saying "shut up" is the Islamic way. She's telling celebrities to keep their mouths shut for the same reason Republicans try to suppress voter turnout: the people they're trying to silence mostly support Democratic candidates. If all of her celebrity friends were endorsing McCain/Palin she'd be chirping along mindlessly along with them.

thank god

thank god

Good for her. The reason they have voting booths is to keep your vote private other wise it could just be a show of hands. You know if all the money that was spent on political campaigns & mud slinging was put towards research on finding cures they might find one for all these dumb ass remarks. Grow up America! It dosen't matter who gets elected they are just puppets for the people who really run this country. Welcome to Corporate America!

@40- she's hardly skinny, but I'll give you the sickly white metallic looking hair. her face is also pretty hit

Egads #12, don't EVER give up your day job...

#16, but at least I bet she knows how to spell CARIBOU you fucking dumbass.

She is simply stating that it is one thing to support a candidate, but don't advertise it. Why? Because just look at how obsessed people are with celebrities and their lives, if Oprah says "Read this book", people flock and buy it and it becomes a super best-seller. If she said I support Ralph Nader, he would get a huge amount of votes because people are stupid and believe what celebrities actually say. I think a lot of Americans are dumb and don't know the issues behind the candidates, they only see who Oprah picks or who Brad and Angolina vote for and they want to be like them and vote the same way...STUPID! I'll never say who I vote for to anyone, it is my choice and my business. Celebrities should keep their mouths shut too...more than anyone else.

Before you comment on why I am here on the Superficial...it's for the bikini photos and nip-slips!

#3 and #4 are the perfect example that most people are stupid. Anyone who cares what Oprah or Tina Fey (et al) think about politics is a moron. Anyone who chooses their candidate based on who celebrities endorse is a dangerous moron. Yes, celebrities are entitled to hold their political views and vote for whomever they wish, but to abuse their fame, earned by taking money from the masses, to try to sway those who idolize them is dishonorable.
Furthermore, if I were to go to a Dixie Chicks concert, which I won't because I don't like crappy music, I would go to hear the music, not listen to their political views. They are performers. perform. don't talk.
Keep in mind that celebrities are celebrities because they are pretty or handsome, or can sing, not because they have better insight into politics.
It is time for all Americans to step up and think for themselves.

Economies in capitalist systems are essentially unplanned, so they often crash, producing depressions that damage the lives of millions. Socialist economies are planned, which means that problems can be foreseen and prevented. Ultimately, socialism guides with the aim of human happiness in mind, rather than the glorification or gratification of a particular individual or class. To gain this for all rather than just for some requires an element of social control – the excesses of capitalism will forever mean that too many fall by the wayside as the strong profit, and the weak are left behind. Examples such as Britain's National Health Service, or the European social model of welfare provision show the strengths of a socialist approach.

Carrie Underwood is smarter than a lot of celebrities twice her age (in this matter at least).

I don't care what a celebrity thinks about politicians. Why does their opinion matter to us? Just because they are famous for having a job doing a tv show or movie or sing or something doesn't make their opinions any more valid or informed than anyone else's.

Best celebrity comment on the candidates in the circus of enter-dorsements.

go ahead, Carrie!

That's ridiculous. America CAN vote for whomever they want, I don't know many who listen to celebs for their candidates. Celebs should be able to publicly announce who they support without worrying about influencing the general public.

Carrie is correct. With few exceptions, people in the entertainment industry are uneducated idiots who have large followings of equally uneducated idiots. Anyone who thinks they don't have influence over those followers are fools.
#18 said it best with her Ben Franklin quote. Idiots and fools really shouldn't vote.

Who cares what this country bumpkin thinks. Celebs who say they don't speak about who they are voting for are mostly Republicans. Go Obama

Carrie Underwood is a loser anyway....as if someone cares what she thinks.

She can't tell someone what to say or think bc people are smart enough to make their own decisions about who they are voting for. No wonder Carrie has no friends and can't keep a man bc she always runs off at the mouth. Obama "08"

Carrie Underwood is very annoyning.....she always has something dumb to say bc she wants to stay relevant. She loves her some George W Bush

"It's saying that the American public isn't smart enough to make their own decisions"

Yeah .... we're the ones walking around with an entourage cuz we can't wipe our own asses or drive ourselves to the store

for those of you confused bunches here is the key to the first part of my previous post....... *** EQUALS "I" **** EQUALS "E" ***** EQUALS "U" ****** EQUALS "A".so replace the "?"'s in the following comment with the appropriate letter......enjoy-------------------------------------------------------------------She's a B"?"TCH, so who the H"??"LL cares, plus she probably is in love with that old F"???"CK from Arizona and wants him to stick his D"?"CK up her F"???"CK"?"NG "????"SS, OBAMA IN '08 BABY!-------------------------------------------------------------------

I hate her now.

This whore knows she's a hard-core Republican and just doesn't want to admit it. She's probably voting Yes on Prop Eight in Cali as well. She just doesn't want to admit that she is because all the people who do her hair and makeup, that take her from looking like white trash to Country Diva are probably gay. Yes, "Jesus take the wheel" and while your at it run Carrie UnderHOOD over with your car, and do us all a favor.

p.s Did you guys know that she called Jessica Simpson fat? Some nerve coming from a girl who used to yank cow tits for a living.

what a dumb bitch.
carrie - ever heard of free speech?

I hope Oprah sits on this bitch.

Probably the stupidest comment everrr... fuck off Carrie Underwood.

She is busy with her online dating thing, Her profile was seen at the fitness & celebrity dating club ^^^^^^FitnessKiss. C O M^^ ^^^^ yesterday.

She is absolutely correct, and it needed to be said.
Too bad most of you are to stupid to really get it.

Translation: I like McCain but am too embarrassed to admit it.

G0ds will must be done. Pray for that. Pray for our servicemen being sent to fight wars, they are being sent to do g0ds will. Pray for them as they do g0ds work.

And most of all, pray that I am elected Vice President! Oh yea, pray that John McCain is elected President!

God she's an idiot. She has a voice, not just for singing. God forbid she has an opinion. She clearly just trying to avoid losing sale on her next album.

If you say nothing, you count for nothing.

God she's an idiot. She has a voice, not just for singing. God forbid she has an opinion. She clearly just trying to avoid losing sale on her next album.

Carrie Underwood is a no-talent hag. She wants real celebs to keep their mouths shut, but here she is spewing garbage from her pie hole and she's nothing but a z-list reality show has-been. Hypocrite bitch needs to STFU.

And yes she does have ugly, beady snake eyes.

...................THIS FAKER LIKES ME?

Heaven forbid that celebrities dare to exercise their right to free speech. Stupid bitch.

I HATE THE ROAD THE USA IS GOING BASED ON THE WIN OF LAST NIGHT, IF IT IS SO THAT HE REALLY WON, CONCIDERING THE OFFICALS LOOKING FOR FRAUD....BALLOT, ESPECIAL BY RACIST SEEKING VANGENCE ON THE WHITE RACE...... AND THROUGH OF THE JEWISH RACE......ANYONE I'M NOT STAYING IN THIS COUNTRY WITH THAT AS PRESIDENT........GOOD LUCK ,YALL!!!!

In other words, she supported McCain but knew he would lose and didn't want to look like an idiot.

WHOOPSIE, TOO LATE.

Carrie is a democrat on public record. I agree with her 100%. She had some balls to say that and I'm glad she did. Some many Americans don't want to hear some celebritiy giving them political advice. It turns me off too. I don't want to hear it. You got a view fine and I'll form my view myself from getting educated on the facts.

She's completely right. And the only people that disagree with her are the exact same ones that voted for a certain candidate because *insert celebrity here* told them to vote for that candidate.

The only problem I have with her comment is: "It's saying that the American public isn't smart enough to make their own decisions."

Most Americans are stupid. I bet 90% of the youth of this nation DID vote because a celebrity told them to vote for someone they edorse. Only furthermore proving her statement to be true.

Thank you for putting these retards in their place.

i don't buy into celebrity endorsements of candidates. i think they can be really annoying most of the time. however, i think carrie's rationale is WEAK. if you believe strongly in something, even if it's annoying, you should have the balls to talk about it. she tries way to hard to be a goodie two-shoes, which in my humble opinion is even more annoying than celebrities who talk politics.

What the Hell is she wearing, did she steal that from the Swiss Miss lady.

Seeing that she's in Country, she was wise to say this.
Chances are she went with McCain, not that she really likes him, but
Country Music is a Republican wasteland.

Speaking of waste, where did she get that outfit from?

You are all an embarrassment to this country! Why must we turn politics into this drama filled chaos? RIDICULOUS! We all have different views and different opinions but that does NOT mean we must sit here and slander one another. The election is over and I will tell you that I voted for John McCain, but I have many friends who voted for Barack Obama! However, that does not mean that I have an issue with Barack Obama running this country. He is now the president and we should ALL respect him and the job he does! We should also all respect each others difference of opinion!

Now... Not all of you are as ignorant as our friend # 85 who thinks that simply the girl doesn't wish to give her polictical views now make her a "no-talent hag"??? what is wrong with you? And for those of you who say that country music stars are all republicans... check again and look at the so called "king and queen" of country music Tim McGraw and Faith Hill who are democrats and voted Barack Obama!

I am just sit of this type of bull shit that splits our country! It is you people who are to blame for the hell this country is in so look in the mirror, say a prayer to God (b/c lord knows you need him), and them come back to this website with some sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What difference would it make if she had endorsed a candidate of your preference or not? How would that affect her as a celebrity and as an American? Being a famous celebrity is tougher than being an American. You all need to differentiate those two lives. If she had endorsed one or the other, she will still have fans running away from her either ways. Why judge her based on political views? She's just a singer, and she wasnt a drop out. She graduated with honours. So what she's so country. That's where she came from and was born to be. It's God's gift and she is grateful for that. All I am saying just leave her alone. She has her own rights and freedom of speech so as anyone else.
