Why should the nightly news give a rat's ass about the political views of celebrities? They aren't famous for their minds.

They are paid to spout lines written for them by someone else and to look pretty. If they want to be taken seriously in politics, they should run as politicians.

I would really like to see Entertainment Tonight lead off each show with Saddam Hussein's take on Basic Instinct 2, and why it was a disaster, or Tony Blair slamming Benchwarmers.

And Jane Fonda was an (useful) idiot for saying that Americans should all submit to Communism, that really we would all be so much happier if only we would try it.

And which Hollywood insiders have been succesful in politics?

Ronald Reagan (R)

Fred Grandy (R)

Fred Thompson (R)

Sonny Bono (R)

Arnold Schwarzenegger (R)

Hmm, seems all the "intelligent" actors have been heard.
