Natalie Portman’s Posies

Natalie Portman was booked on ABC’s “Good Morning America” to plug her new flick, “Garden State.”

The actress came dressed in a T-shirt prominently displaying John Kerry's name. This prompted television veteran Diane Sawyer to remember the rules about equal time.

As the interview started, Sawyer said, “Now if I'm gonna talk to you, you're gonna have to hold flowers here in front of the John Kerry. We can't just have John Kerry the whole time. Who do we bring in for equal time?”

Portman’s response was revealing. “Come on,” the actress chided. “You've got the ‘O'Reilly Factor.’ That's on television; that evens it out!”

She proceeded to give the Kerry campaign a free TV spot by gushing: “I love John Kerry! I just think he has the perfect combination of compassion and intelligence and composure under pressure, and I'm just a huge fan.”

John Kerry danced Wednesday night. For only a moment and somewhat awkwardly, but he couldn't help himself.

He had just raised a record $6.5 million in one day. It was more than President Bush had on his best day, Sept. 30, when he collected $5.5 million in Chicago and Cincinnati.

Sen. Charles Schumer spoke first. The crowd cheered New York's senior senator as he introduced actress Natalie Portman. Portman tried to rally her peers, but this wasn't her arena. She held the microphone too far from her face and was too girlishly nervous. Her soft voice lost in the noise. Dressed in a schoolgirl gray-plaid skirt and pink button-down shirt tied at her waist, she looked like Britney Spears going to a job interview.

"We use the right to drink as soon as we get it," she yelled, "use the right to vote."

Tom Delonge of Blink 182 followed Portman. He spoke fondly of the band's wartime performance on an aircraft carrier and the soldiers he met. He said he had pictures of Kerry posted all over his studio. A few in the crowd thought that strange.

A lot of people have requested a list of which Hollywood airheads are at the Democrat convention this week. Apparently these readers plan to snub the celebs' movies, TV shows and music.

"In a speech that went on so long that California Democratic Party Chairman Art Torres began to hover nervously at his side, Dreyfuss called Bush 'arrogant and incompetent' and said 'his appeal to patriotism is simplistic and thuggish,'" the San Jose Mercury News reported.

Dreyfuss raged: "He is the enemy of thoughtfulness. I wasn't raised in George Bush's America, and I wouldn't be comfortable in it. "In this America, you point toward a sin and you are pointed at. You are the irritant, not the gatekeeper. You smell funny - sinister funny. Terrorist-friendly. You mention due process, and the silence is not respectful, it is ominous."
