Actually, lots of non-political types pay attention to the endorsements of celebrities. Since Hollywood is all-out for Kerry, it is good to see some celebrity endorsements for President Bush...especially a Hall of Famer with a sterling war record.
Not if you have argued that celebrity endorsements by their people are not worth listening too, since they come from people whose views on world affairs are no more worth listening to than any other person walking down the street. Find me a celebrity with some legitimate expertise in foreign affairs or national politics (Jim Bunning, JC Watts, Moe Greenberg) and I'll listen to what they have to say. Otherwise, I don't cotton to hero worship.
