Althouse: "Leave it to Jodie Foster to go and get married and not make a big deal out of it."

April 24, 2014

"Leave it to Jodie Foster to go and get married and not make a big deal out of it."

"Fact is ... it's pretty clear (Foster has) never felt a need or obligation to make a public declaration, and by getting married she's merely living her life...."

Althouse has also not felt the need or obligation to make a public declaration -- not about marriage, but about the Truth Behind Her Blog. The Revelations are coming this Saturday to a Cafe near you. Stay tuned.; 4/24/14, 9:29 AM

I didn't leave it to Jodie Foster. I went and got married and didn't make a big deal out of it either.

For some reason TMZ never bothered to report it.; 4/24/14, 11:23 AM

No she shot a taxi driver who rear-ended her Lincoln in front of Ford's theater.

Don't feel bad , though, it's an easy mistake to make.; 4/24/14, 11:34 AM

You are thinking of Squeaky.

Or maybe Sara

Both of those ladies have been released and are on the dating market for any liberal who likes 'em plucky.; 4/24/14, 2:00 PM

Here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPc-5SbiReo

I remember catching a US interview with her, with a french colleague in tow, and he would look to her if he needed help with subtlety. He spat out a word in french, and she thought about for a split second, and responded with "summary".

It's more than that she's smart, there is an unusual clarity to her intelligence.; 4/25/14, 1:28 AM
Chuck said...: Is it a "fact" that Jodie Foster "never felt a need" to announce her same-sex marriage?

Or could it have been convenient? For a movie star to maintain a veneer of heterosexuality for fear of alienating a large part of her audience?

I don't follow all things Jodie Foster very closely, but I thought that she had a long-time female lover as of many years ago; is this a new one? That part wasn't mentioned.; 4/25/14, 6:14 AM
