Zimbio has composed a list of celebrity Republicans and the majoirity of the names listed are no surprise, but one name really captured my attention because I wasn't aware she was a Republican.
#23 on the list of 30 is Joan Rivers, who they claim stated she was a Republican in 2002.
Yet in 2008, Rivers voter for Obama and told Time Out Chicago her reason for voting for Barack Obama in 2008 was "I am for anyone that will give me lower taxes, stop all this stupid spending. Whoever promises me that gets this chicken’s vote."
Damn near fell off my chair laughing when I read that.
I'll lay money on the bet that she was more surprised at what she got from her vote than I was to see she said she was a Republican in 2002.
A much larger list of celebrities that are Republican can be found at Ranker, they list 199 Hollywood Conservatives.
