Lily Tomlin's Ernestine Takes on Sarah Palin and Michael Vick in Animal Rights Message (Video)

Piper, put your mother on the phone!’ says Lily Tomlin in her latest animal-rights video.
By Ernestine

Always ready to lend a helping hand, I dropped by at the Hollywood office of The Humane Society of the United States to shoot a video to be shown at the 23rd Genesis Awards Saturday, March 28. True to form, I did not hold back on letting my true feelings be known about my concerns for animals and the miserable treatment they so often receive at the hands of humans. Don’t get me started. Click here to find out how everyone from Sarah Palin and Mayor Villaraigosa to Michael Vick and Neal Cavuto gets the rough end of my tongue.

She is running with wolves. That is her problem.

At least someone stands up for the voiceless victims on this planet.

OK, why is it that celebrities like you, ms. tomlin, like to express thier opinion about a subject or a person in a one sided, extremist, sarcastic, immateur manner, rather than having an intellegent conversation. Because, as a far left liberal, you cannot accept the fact that you might be wrong.That’s what’s wrong with america now, too many people like you have a weak minded lynch mob mentality instead of looking at the facts before making a comment.

When it comes to Governing a city or state, lets see your vast experience in this area. So when it comes to attcking someone elses back yard, look and clean up your own backyard first…

It’s called creativity. She is expressing her opinion through characters; she is *gasp!* AN ACTOR

Besides, if her facts are so incorrect, please enlighten us. What ARE the facts? YOU could have posted something constructive and informative yourself, instead of mere complaining…as you just accused the "far left" of doing.

And the people said AMEN!AMEN! AMEN!

They do it to get attention because they are starving for it

all the time and they don’t care who they hurt.

??????

 She is speaking for the voiceless. Are you that heartless that you can’t see that the murder of wolves from a helicopter is cruel and inhumane?

Julia explained herself quite well, Amanda, She is doing "it to get attention because [she is] starving for it all the time and [she doesn’t] care who [she] hurt[s]"

Amanda……There must be a balance maintained in nature. This is often done by “thinning the herd”! Like it or not that is how every living thing survives or not. Wildlife flourishes when predators are not allowed to overtake and create an imbalance. The excessive wolf population has to be kept in check and since it is very difficult to hunt in these areas on foot it is best done by helicopter. There are many other wildlife creatures that survive because of this humane way of “thinning the herd”! Judge not……..etc.

Judi, you don’t know what you’re talking about. The Department of Game kills ENDANGERED black bears and wolves so they don’t kill the caribou and moose that hunters want to shoot themselves. It is in their documents online. It is in their mission statement. When a species is endangered, it is NOT excessive.

You know, the last I checked, ignorant human beings are not an endangered species.

HAH! Yesss.

 …I will keep my comment to myself as it’s rather sadistic.
