The Actors Are Striking, Or The Nanny Will Cut A Bitch!

There ain't no wrath like the wrath of an actor ignored, and yesterday, SAG President, Fran Drescher - sporting a bold, "I'm totally serious, you guys" look with no make-up, her hair disheveled - called for SAG actors to strike against AMPTP,  or the Producers, streamers and major studios 

Hilariously, AMPTP reps, including Disney's head honcho, Robert I. Iger, are calling SAG's demands "unrealistic," even though Iger is taking home over 20 million a year in compensation, and that's without hefty bonuses. "Let them eat Mickey's ass," he may as well say, since everyone knows Goofy's cakes are messy.

Also, guess who's being notably cool, and sometimes outright silent, about the strike? Democratic politicians, you silly, like California governor Gavin Newson, all of whom rely on big donations from AMPTP's fat cats, including their fundraising events thrown by producers, such as Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. "Whatever. It's not like schools are closed or buses aren't running," quipped an unnamed politician. Note to self: politicians are not good at quips. They need writers. Oh, wait. 

Thankfully, Susan Sarandon, also sporting an "I'm totally serious, you guys!" look, is there on the frontlines today. Just don't tell her that Debra Messing is also walking the walk. That's a fight no one wants to see.
