Susan Sarandon wants the U.S. presidential elections

to be monitored by outside interests. The " Bull

Durham " star says that the 2004 vote was so fraudulent

that we need international oversight — like troubled

third-world countries do.

 

" I believe our next election should be monitored by

international entities, just like it happened in Haiti

and Iraq, " Sarandon told Brazilian newspaper Folha de

Sao Paulo, according to our translator. " The last one

was an embarrassment. Everybody knew there was fraud,

but nothing was done about it. In some states there

were more votes than people able to vote. "

 

Sarandon, who recently made headlines when she

expressed her disappointment with Democratic Sen.

Hillary Clinton — who is widely considered to be a

possible presidential candidate — and isn't terribly

optimistic about other Dems. " I honestly hope that the

Democratic Party finds a candidate for the presidency,

but I recognize that the scenario isn't inspiring. "

 

Her assessment of President Bush's administration

isn't upbeat either. " I think we've never been as

close to George Orwell's `1984' as before, " she said.

" We live in a society where individual rights and

legality are definitely threatened and that's scary. "
