President Obama may be making it rain on the fundraising circuit in Hollywood, but conservatives have some star firepower as well. The estranged father of one of the greatest A-listers of all time (Angelina Jolie), was seen making the rounds and holding court to admirers, who were obviously happy to see someone more famous than Reince Preibus.
I almost let this one pass me by. Voight was informally speaking to a group of about a dozen people and I was on the phone with my colleague, Jamila Bey. I mentioned that Jon Voight was over yonder and she excitedly exclaimed, “Oooh! You gotta go over there and talk to him!”
I was incredulous. “Ok, give me the opening line, and I’ll go over there. Otherwise, I don’t know what to ask Jon Voight about, besides Angelina.”
J. Bey didn’t miss a beat. “Ask him about his character in the movie ‘Konrath’ and ask him if the educational system is failing our kids. You can take it from there.”
That’s what I did. Listen close when I asked him whether the Republicans have issues of inclusion. He got hyped off that one.
