Appended to an otherwise thoughtful and harmless gossip article regarding director Sydney Pollack's death, comes this snippet-of-a-boast:

SUSAN SARANDON, who appeared in three films last year and won kudos for her TV movie "Bernard and Doris," is still not a contented soul. She says if John McCain gets elected, she will move to Italy or Canada.

It's always disappointing when braggarts on both extremes of the political arena fail to follow-through on their promises. Susan Sarandon, threatening to move if a Republican (even a lukewarm one) is elected president? Who's next — Tim Robbins?

And, why didn't they exile themselves after Mr. Bush got re-elected? One would think that would have been their political low-point.
