STONE GETS HER HISTORY WRONG AT PRESIDENTIAL BALL

Hollywood star SHARON STONE got her American history wrong while addressing an gala in honour of new U.S. President BARACK OBAMA in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday (20Jan09).
The actress was the guest speaker at a party hosted by Edward Rendell, the governor of her home state of Pennsylvania.
But she was left red-faced after taking to the stage and claiming the state's most historical monument, the Liberty Bell, was "brought back to America".
Stone said, "We're gonna ring that liberty bell that we brought with us here to America. We're gonna make the American Dream into an American reality."
The bell was in fact shipped to its home in Philadelphia in the 1750s, when Pennsylvania was still a British colony - and members of the governor's entourage informed an embarrassed Stone about her mistake after she stepped down from the podium.
During her speech, the star also talked about her tough upbringing, telling guests, "My mother stood in those queues outside church kitchens. I never had enough clothes. I didn't just have hand me downs, I had hand me ups from my younger brothers."

I think if we are going to comment about someone's bad mouth, we ought not have a bad mouth when doing so. One's credibility suffers. I wonder if we have too soon forgotten that this woman whom we respected highly for being a fine actress and an exemplary human being and citizen, has had serious brain function disturbance and is lucky to be alive. Perhaps if we were in the presence of American "royalty", as it were, on stage and under pressure - we might buckle from the exuberance we found ourselves experiencing and come up short on brain power; neglecting to get our facts straight a hundred percent of the time. Like the Gov of Alaska being put on the spot with Ms. Couric -not being used to that level of public scrutiny. Celebrate their human-ness will ya!

Sharon Stone is a disgrace in my opinion. There was a time when I thought she was a DECENT person, HOWEVER after those disgusting comments she made in regard to the horrific earthquake in China over a year ago I tuned her and her crappy mouth OUT. What an ASSHOLE!!! My parents had just returned from a month long tour of China and no where did they find nicer, more hospitable people than the Chinese. We are from Ireland originally and my dad in particular had great respect for these lovely people. Regardless of your feelings toward their government that DOES not give ANYONE the right to announce that it was 'karma" that kids and the elderly died beneath rubble. As far as I'm concerned she gets what she deserves from now on and should not have the right to proclaim herself an American as she is an embarrassment. Bitch!!!!!
