Brigitte Bardot: Sarah Palin Is "A Disgrace For Women"

French film legend-turned-activist Brigitte Bardot took a swipe at Sarah Palin on Tuesday, saying the US vice presidential candidate was a disgrace to women.

"I hope you lose these elections because that would be a victory for the world," Bardot wrote in an open letter to Republican John McCain's running mate in the November vote.

"By denying the responsibility of man in global warming, by advocating gun rights and making statements that are disconcertingly stupid, you are a disgrace to women and you alone represent a terrible threat, a true environmental catastrophe," wrote Bardot.

The screen icon from the 1960s, who now heads an animal rights foundation, went on to assail Palin for supporting Arctic oil exploration that could jeopardize delicate animal habitats and for dismissing measures to protect polar bears.

"This shows your total lack of responsibility, your inability to protect or simply respect animal life," Bardot wrote.

In a final salvo against Palin, the 74-year-old ex-star picked up on Palin's depiction of herself as a pitbull wearing lipstick and said she "implored" her not to compare herself to dogs.

"I know them well and I can assure you that no pitbull, no dog, nor any other animal for that matter is as dangerous as you are," Bardot wrote.

Ms. Bardot was a 'siren' in her day. Today she is 'sounding a siren' and I thank her. She is first class lady!

[nellie]

nice contrast

[Califconserve]

Bardot is a wacko; not surprising that so many of you demo-liberals can empathize with her !

[genetiks]

she has been portrayed in the media as a wacko, because she's an extreme animal rightist, but here she seems quite coherent (and correct!)

[seachild]

unbelievable...Bardot...nailing it!

[AlaskanToo]

Go Bridget!

[alguien]

la bardot is completely out of her mind but i certainly do like the way she expresses herself in this instance!

[bluekatz]

Is she out of her mind when she makes such a compelling and truthful statement? I think Bardot clearly has all of her faculities. That being said what did she say that was wrong? Why would any woman with any sense compare themselves to a dog when in fact the derogatory term for women is a b*tch. That is truly out of touch with reality and clearly delusional.

[alguien]

i said i agreed w/ her, didn't i?

jeez louise, chill!

[TroubleNYC]

There's a warm place in Hell for you missy! YOU BETCHA!

[Califconserve]

Isn't Bardot married to a French poodle ?

[dora rice]

only her poodle know for sure

[suhud]

Bravo, Bardot.

[progressivelady]

Bridget bardot my new hero

Sarah doesn't hunt - she "Harvests"

“We hunt as much as we can, and I’m proud to say our freezer is full of wild game we harvested here in Alaska.”

Technically, when she's firing weapons from a helicopter, she's a sniper.

[paintorbpainted]

You're my hero.

[Califconserve]

Maybe you could wear a bear skin and stand in a clearing .........

[SlinkyTWF]

Or merely a tourist with a militarized AR 15. At the fuel consumption rate of a helicopter, I wonder how much those excursions cost.

[dora rice]

I love deer jerky......

[metallite]

When she "harvests" the animal (after its is killed) she means the organs are removed. Doctors harvested organs for use from one human for another. Its is organs being put to use. Another way of putting it is "dress" the animal. Not that I believe you care -you just want to pull someone down at any cost. The means fits the end-right?? This campaign is just so uncivilized and ugly. We definitely need a new and viable Party because Dems and Repubs parties are ineffetual for the way they were intended. The Commies are in full force after a while they won't even care what you think. Rise up sheeple.

[montemalone]

I do not know who Brigitte Bardot but I love her.

[mijumom]

Wow, you're me feel old. google.

[kappa08]

probably one of the most beautiful actress' that ever lived

[Califconserve]

yeah she's right up there with Jane Fonda a real prize.

[rzan1]

She was astonishingly beautiful, and women today still copy her look. (The full lips, the hair style that no one can quite get right, including Sarah Palin). She was an original.

[lioness39]

So Bridgette, I would have given you a pat on the back for this one but I do remember that a short while ago you were trying to incite the French against the Muslims in your country. So that cancels out your anti-Palin points. I do give you big kudos for your animal activism. Like you really care what I think. *sigh*

[Banji81]

Yeah, though I agree with her, I immediately wiki'd her 'cause I knew there'd been some controversy around her recently... oh well, no one's perfect...

[BosieO]

Whow...if BB doesn't like her...that goes to say Sara Palin is F**ked!~ lol BB is as conservative as they come
