We've gotten a lot of email disputing the report that Ed Norton "seemed a little embarrassed and sheepish when a surprised friend of mine asked him" about being a closeted Republican. Well, this will teach us to rely on the word of anonymous emails from admittedly second-hand sources! Apparently, he gave bucketsful of money to the Dems, including Dennis Kucinich, the lovable elf who won the "creatures of the forest" primary. Which at least would explain why he seemed embarrassed.
