When Academy Award-winning actor Tim Robbins showed up at his West 14th Street YMCA polling center in Manhattan to vote Tuesday morning, election officials told him that his name was missing from the register.

“I went to vote where I normally vote and I was not listed. I asked for an explanation; they had none,” Robbins told CNN.

He said he has been voting in the same district since 1992. He has not missed one election, and has not changed addresses or political affiliations.

“The poll worker said my name was in the book for the primary two months ago, but missing for the general election,” he told CNN.

Although Robbins was offered the opportunity to fill out a provisional ballot, he was set on using the voting machine instead.

“Refuse provisional ballots — they’re throwing those out, they can throw those out,” he told viewers of “Real Time With Bill Maher” last month.

CNN showed McBush giving a speech in Colorado today, he was talking about his 92,345 year old mother and how feisty she is.

“When my mother went to see France, she wanted to rent a car and drive herself around, when she was told she was too old to rent a car SHE BOUGHT ONE”.

How many of you out there have a mother who can go to France and buy a car? Ok, how many of you have a mother who can just go out and buy a car?

Yep, the son of a single mother is the “elitist”.
