But they don't even know who he is!

From commercial:

"Hi, I'm Richard Gere and I'm speaking for the entire world. We're with you during this election time. It's really important. Get out and vote," Gere says in the English-language advertisement. He repeats the phrase, "Get out and vote" in Arabic."

But many voters, already struggling with the labyrinthine politics of the West Bank and Gaza, say they have never heard of the actor who swept Debra Winger off her feet as a dashing Navy officer in the 1982 film "An Officer and a Gentleman" and were even less interested when they were told he's an American.

"I don't even know who the candidates are other than Abu Mazen (Mahmoud Abbas), let alone this Gere," Gaza soap factory worker Manar an-Najar told Reuters Wednesday.

"We don't need the Americans' intervention. We know who to elect. Not like them -- they elected a moron."

Saw this the other day. Too funny.

Sorry Mr. Gere, you speak only for yourself.

no one there knows him. That's like some famous Bollywood actor in India doing a commercial about our election. "Hi, I am Penin Patel and ......."

I think this is the funniest part on at least two levels. One, even THEY know Bush is an idiot while half of American pretends not too. Two, they elected ARAFAT! Are they trying to say they DON'T elect morons?

It's always nice when someone wants to make a difference in their own small way. Particularly a has-been who is trying to refurbish his flagging career.

Didn't Gere have a hit with that musical "Chicago" a couple of years ago?

This goes to show why America is an enemy of the world, they try and destroy other nations culture by flooding the state with their own junk culture.... i live in England but i prefer to say i live in 'little America' because it is a more truthful explanation of where i live. What a shame.

You read the "Guardian" don't you.
