Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.

Hollywood stars align behind Kerry By Lisa Friedman,DC Bureau(Found this through Drudge…it was news.com or something like it. Sorry!)
_Vermont Gov. Howard Dean made an early splash in the Hollywood money scene as an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq, but the entertainment industry gave more to Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts. With the Iraq war no longer looking like a winning political issue for Democrats in the 2004 presidential race, political analysts speculated Monday that Dean’s popularity with the stars might boil down to a walk-on role.
_“The war is over, and a lot of his early Hollywood support really did have to do with the war,” said Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, political science expert at the University of Southern California.
_“The early interest was in Dean. I just don’t know where it is now. It will depend on who looks to be the most electable. If that’s the goal, they are more likely going to take a look at John Kerry.”
_According to campaign donation reports filed recently for the first quarter of 2003, Dean did not rake in the most money from celebrities among Democratic presidential contenders. That distinction went to Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, who – according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a watchdog group based in Washington, D.C. – took in $159,350 from the entertainment industry, compared with Dean’s $64,710.
_But in the battle for top billing, Dean seems to have come out a winner with financial backing from the likes of actor-director Rob Reiner, actor Michael Douglas and two-thirds of the group Crosby, Stills & Nash. “The West Wing” star Martin Sheen also has endorsed Dean’s candidacy, although according to financial reports has not donated any money to the campaign.
_Political observers say the end of the war in Iraq could mark a significant point in the anti-war Dean’s campaign for the Democratic nomination. “His issue is gone,” CNN analyst Bill Schneider said. “(Hollywood) wants someone who can beat George Bush. That doesn’t at the moment look like Howard Dean. Now those same people are going to be looking at the field again.”
_Schneider said he expects celebrities will now be casting their eyes toward – and opening their wallets for – Kerry. His celebrity donations have included $2,000 from actor Alec Baldwin; $1,000 from “American Beauty” star Thora Birch; and $1,000 apiece from directors Sydney Pollack and Wes Craven.
_“(Kerry) has a lot of money, and that impresses people in Hollywood,” Schneider said.
_Former Democratic Minority Leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri took in $10,250 from the entertainment industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
_While the total is among the lowest for the big-name Democratic contenders, he did manage to pack in his share of stars. Among them, “The West Wing” actor Bradley Whitford; “Who’s the Boss” star Judith Light; and “That Girl” Marlo Thomas, each of whom donated $2,000.
_As far as “Let’s Make a Deal” host Monty Hall was concerned, Joseph Lieberman was behind door No. 1. Hall gave $250 to the Connecticut senator. Meanwhile, “Will and Grace” star Debra Messing sank $2,000 into Lieberman’s campaign. Yet Lieberman’s candidacy has not sparked much interest among the celebrity set, a factor pundits attributed both to his support for the war and outspoken stance against sex and violence in the media.
_“He’s not where their hearts are,” Schneider said, adding that religion also might be keeping the stars away from Lieberman. “A lot of them are Jewish and they probably worry about whether a Jewish Democrat can get elected.”
_President George W. Bush has not begun to campaign formally for the 2004 race and has not filed any campaign reports.
_In the past, however, actress Bo Derek(Woo woo!), actor Bruce Willis and actor/former National Rifle Association leader Charlton Heston have buoyed the Republican ticket’s star power.
_But of course, Jeffe(political science expert at the University of Southern California) said, Bush “doesn’t need Hollywood money.”NOTE: Kerry has a lot of $(600 million),
but Bush(Worth what? 60 million$, tops!)doesn’t need Hollywood $!

And the DNC tries to get in its licks. :roll:
Yesterday on Meet the Press, Tim Russert spoke with Mary Matalin and James Carville.
Russert read Mary an excerpt from a letter her husband wrote on behalf of the Democratic National Committee. Part of it read, “These people are playing for keeps. If we give this Bush crew four more years in the White House to do their dirty work, we won’t recognize the America they’ve created. Worst of all, they lie.”
Here’s Mary’s response: “Well, he is the resident national expert on lying presidents. I don’t get his mail, actually, and I’m quite sure he didn’t write it and I hope that nowhere in that letter are the words George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and ‘lie’ in the same sentence. To paraphrase your president; you will not be having relations with this woman.”
HAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAAHAAHAHAA!
ROTFLMAO!

END of MAY, 2003
Now the DNC has decided to save money by cutting its staff in preparation for the 2004 Presidential campaign. The problem is that all the staff cuts are minority black staffers. :oops:
Source:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/05/28/national2138EDT0778.DTLHmm! I seem to recall that the DNC refused to help the black Democrat candidate for Gov. of NY with funding or staff support. The Republican candidate won. I also recall that the current DNC plan has Sen. Carol Mosley-Braun and variuos other favourite son African Americans running against Rev. Al Sharpton to dilute the black vote.
Democrats are for minorities as long as these minorities keep their mouths shut and until they get their vote! -
66% couldn’t name ONE?
WOOHOO! Now Yanny and I can look forward to Bush getting re-elected! :P

Senator JFK is having $ problems…
See…
http://www.lasvegassun.com/drudged/060404635.htmlHe cannot use his rich wife’s, Mrs. Heinz Kerry, money!
But the last few lines of the article explain tha t she cann give her money to an organization with no direct connection to JFK. This organization can spend the money to support the Senator’s campaign.
Sounds to me like CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM FELL THROUGH!
Or did I miss the US Supreme Court knocking its block off.
