Bette Midler Offers To Send Porta-Potties to Occupy Wall Street Protests
Emmy Award-winning singer and actress Bette Midler offered Tuesday to send Porta-Potties to help Occupy Wall Street protests.
In an interview with Joy Behar on HLN, the multimillionaire also took a cheap shot at the Texas governor saying, "I'm not sure Rick Perry knows where he was born" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
When Behar pointed out that the residents around the park the protesters are inhabiting are complaining about the mess partially because of the lack of toilets, Midler responded, "Well, they should chip in and buy some toilets. Toilets are cheap. Porta-Potties are cheap."
She continued, "I'll send the Porta-Potties down."
Midler suggested Behar should join her in the effort, but the host responded, "Don't put me in this with you."
This lead Midler to wax nostalgic about the '60s protests. "We did it all the time. It was something that you did, and you did it because you were a citizen and you had something to say and you wanted to support your point of view."
The pair then complained about how the right-wing are saying the same things about the OWS protesters as they did the demonstrators of the '60s.
"Close to 50 years have passed," scolded Midler. "Get a new line than dirty hippie."
Not surprisingly, they were both "thrilled" that this new generation are demonstrating.
"You may or may not agree with their politics," continued Midler, "but the point is that they have organized themselves, and they are saying things that have to be said."
Something that went unsaid in this interview was that Midler is worth $175 million.
With that kind of cash, maybe the Divine Miss M should also send some Porta-Showers and deodorant to the folks protesting millionaires and billionaires like her.
A bit later, when Behar brought up the recent birther talk concerning President Obama, Midler said, "I don't think Rick Perry is sure where he was born."
Maybe it's she that should get a new line.

Hey Bette.............I know

Hey Bette.............I know you're an 'island girl', but you're a lib elitist, to be sure. And isn't is a little late for the porta-potties??? I think the whole damn park needs to be disinfected with the strongest agent possible, because it has become a toxic waste site.

Hey, Bette, why stop at Porta Potties? Why not build them a real tent city, and supply cooking stoves, generators, refrigerators, etc?

these two dyed hair has-beens are so thrilled about this generation protesting like they did, go down and join them. The younguns would probably love to see a couple of old bags joining in on their festivities of ruining the park and all that surrounds it.

Seriously, Bette, if you're waxing so nostalgic about the 60's...
"We did it all the time. It was something that you did, and you did it because you were a citizen and you had something to say and you wanted to support your point of view."
Then get your fanny down there and go relive the "glory days."
Why doesn't she get out of her mansion and join them?

I'm sure this libutard celebrity, basking in her hollywood millions, feels she's done something grand in offering these wastrels a plastic box to urinate in while she's admiring her solid gold toilet from the comfort of her mega-mansion.
From her mansion, I'm sure she's sneering and thinking it'll be a cold day in hell before she actually goes out to join them and wallow in her own filth.

you're such a dumbass. You're living your cushy, limo-liberal top of the upper crust life - and you are so insulated that you don't even realize that the vast majority of the OWS trash would confiscate almost all (if not all) of your money if they could.
If they had their way, you would have to live a middle class life. If Roseanne Barr, another OWS supporter, had her way, you would be beheaded because you have $175m, and that's 75m more than she allows in order for you to continue living. You are WAY past her "Marie Antoinette" paradigm.
Of course, Roseanne would be OK, because she ONLY has $80m, conveniently $20m less than her beheading "cut-off" point.
What would be news....

To defend Bette, it looks to me like she didn't even want to discuss it. Joy Behar drags the celebrity guests into her political world, tell me when one actually takes the opposite side.
The "movement" is on about minute 13 of it's 15 anyway.
Now ya done it.

Porta-a-potties ain't enough, Bette, you're supposed to be providing for them for the rest of their lives and that includes paying for 4 years of 'Womyn studies'.

Hell, ant, monopoly money has been printed for quite some time..........and it's really been exasperated in the past 3 years, so apparantly these 'anarchists' have been learning the tricks of the trade from Boy Barry and the REGIME. You know..........they're anti-government..........but they want MORE government!!!
I know a few 'anarchists'........and this is how they think.
Of course, if it got down to anarchy, they'd be in for some serious lesson-learning if they wanted to bring their pathetic anarchistic asses around my property.................maybe they could get the Crips or the Bloods to help them , or possibly that M-13 gang that has taken such a foothold here in the good ol' multi-culteral USSA.

On that note, I read Obama is gonna be violating States' rights again and shutting down medicinal marijuana clinics and growers (despite saying he would never touch the issue two years ago....but, hey, whaddaya expect from a known liar?)

Speaking of which, a 16 year old boy, who has a medical marijuana card, offered me a 'hit' off a joint down at the beach the other day - right in front of his did, who also has a medical marijuana card!! I was rather astonished!!! And I can't tell you why they have these cards, either.

Michael Moore "understands them" (he parted with a whole grand). Russel Simmons was down there handing out twenties.
I think they can afford a portapotty.
The OWS'ers keep telling themselves they can't side with the 1%'ers but they sure suck up to them when they show up with cash.
It's like 35 day PBS beg-a-thon.

This brings new meaning to the words "wind beneath my wings".
I always have been a Better Midler fan but that doesn't mean I can't poke her in the nose when I see fit, just like I do all my liberal friends - who either learn to endure some tough love now and then or run and hide and become "former" friends of their own choice.
It's too bad the celebs hardly ever hear anyone confront them with reality and/or expose their silly hypocrisy. They might actually begin to look at things objectively once in a while and see things as they are, not as they want to see them through "Rose" colored glasses.

"the right-wing are saying the same things about the OWS protesters as they did the demonstrators of the '60s"
That's because the "Nanny"-nine percent hasn't changed since the 60's. We still have around 9% of the population that has been liberal-fied by the public indoctrination complex (education/media) beyond their mental capacity for self-correction so all they are capable of doing is roaming the streets with their freaking hands out, castigating the very people they are fleecing for the handouts.

My daughter just walked into the living room and said, "Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out of the window, take my TV, stereo, iPhone, iPod, and my laptop. Please take all of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Cash Converters. Then sell my new car. Take my front door key away from me and throw me out of the house. Then disown me and never talk to me again. And don’t forget to write me out of your will and leave my share to my brother." Well, she didn't put it quite like that. she actually said...
"Dad I have decided to work for Obama's re-election campaign."

She could have sent the porta potties down there, paid the bill and then been on TV taking credit for doing so.
But then, she would be officially responsible, and that must be avoided at all costs. So, in an attempt to take some credit, and assuage self guilt over her own riches, she talks about sending the potties. She gets the glory, without the risk of responsibility.
A Question -
Why is it that folks look to those who spend their lives pretending to be something and someone they are not ( this is what actors and actresses do, right?) for advice and guidance on political matters?
