SHEEN, ANISTON ANNOUNCE BID FOR WHITE HOUSE Emmy Winners Will Seek The Dem & GOP Nominations Hollywould, CA - (GNS) - Martin Sheen and Jennifer Aniston announced after the Emmy ceremonies they would seek the presidency and vice presidency of the United States, running on a Democrat-Republican ticket. "I'm the Democrat, she's the Republican," Sheen said. He said what they hope to do is "unite this country in its pursuit of freedom, justice and quality television entertainment." "It's all in the writing," Aniston said after acknowledging that her husband, Brad Pitt, is a Democrat. "The problem with the current administration, and really with both parties in Congress is that they just don't have good writers," she said. Sheen said he thought their candidacy would inspire the TV writers in L.A. and literary writers elsewhere in the country to become involved in politics. "Johnson had great speeches. So did Kennedy. Well there have got to be more good writers out there besides Ted Sorenson and Dick Goodwin," Sheen said. He expanded on his vision. "I see a world that is written by the folks who wrote Taxi, M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore, Lou Grant, Hill Street Blues, Barney Miller, Bill Cosby, and Saturday Night Live," he said. "The first two years of SNL," Aniston said, "when it was really good." Aniston expressed her vision. "If you take Marty's list and add Friends, The West Wing, The Sopranos, The Larry Sanders Show, and, well, something black and something latino, this would be a great country." "We have a black person on our show, a regular," Sheen said. "That's what makes him the Democrat," Aniston said. Political pundits said they doubted Sheen and Aniston would win the nominations of both parties. "Bush is riding high right now, despite the economic chaos, and Gore, well, I think Sheen has a better chance," said both Jeff Greenfield and Bill O'Reilly from the set of their new news show, Blather & Bloviate. |
