It’s been some time since we’ve had a List insertion, but here comes Mister Pretentious Aussie Face to save the day!
Dashing Aussie actor Simon Baker is about to go public with his biggest plans for 2009 – he’s hoping to become an American citizen.
The star of hit new U.S. drama The Mentalist tells this weekend’s (03-04Jan09) Parade magazine in America that he and his wife were spurred on to become U.S. citizens after Barack Obama‘s historic election win in November.
He tells the publication, “The morning after… I said to my wife Rebecca, ‘You know, I’m thinking about becoming an American,’ and then she said that she felt the same way.
“I don’t follow sports here, but politics has sort of taken its place. I followed the race closely. It’s a tricky area, because I don’t want to be offensive, and I had no party loyalty. But electing Obama was this country being very grown-up. It was such a positive step for the U.S. to become a part of the world again after the last eight years.
My ass, you must kiss it.
Feh, screw this. MLG and I are off to shoot zombies. Have a Merry New Year, y’all.
If this jerk becomes an American, there will be long line of people wanting him to kiss their respective asses. I’m glad I got a low number.
Happy New Year, LG.

Oh, Huzzah!! Hooray!! YAY!!! We’re “grown up” enough for some assclown that I’ve never heard of to grace us with his Australian presence. What a beautiful day Obama hath wrought….
Maybe he can stay at that has-been Gillian Anderson’s place until he finds a home of his own. She’s coming back, too. You know, now that we’re good enough for her and her brats. http://speakdogspeak.blogspot.com/2008/11/odd-coincidence.html
Douche nozzles. All of them.

Doesn’t it take 7 years to become a citizen? In 7 years, the Obama presidency will be either history, or soon to be history.

“In 7 years, the Obama presidency will be either history, or soon to be history”
Please, God…. let it be history. I just *cannot* stomach the thought of dealing with that sonofabitch and his horrible wife for two terms….

Happy New Year, Liberty Girl! And thanks for blogrolling me.

when I skimmed through the article, my eyes immediately stopped at the comment about electing Ohbambam … and I immediately slotted him into the “typical liberal asshole celeb” category. Although I did get a mild kick out of watching two episodes of his current show … those’ll be the last … I’ll be in the barn feeding horses at that time henceforth …
