Six months ago, the No. 1 charity in St. Petersburg, Fla., planned to hold an event in mid-April that would feature Susan Sarandon as its luncheon speaker. The St. Petersburg Times was purportedly a sponsor of the April event. Sarandon's brother is a sports writer for the paper and was apparently the one who had asked his sibling to come. Of course, not everyone's been happy with Susan Sarandon's antics of late. In fact, United Way began hearing from people who threatened to withdraw their contributions if Sarandon appeared at the Florida event. As fate would have it, Sarandon's invitation was withdrawn and the event was scrapped. The actress indicated that she was troubled by the charity's decision to cancel her appearance. In a statement, Sarandon said that "it is disturbing to me that the United Way is letting partisanship determine its support base." The Left Coast Report recalls that last October this Banger sister encouraged an assembled crowd, which was carrying "Bush Sucks" signs, waving Iraqi flags and chanting "George Bush, you can't hide. We charge you with genocide!" Guess partisanship is in the eye of the disturbee.
