Blue? Over these pompous fools? Hardly.

Maybe it gives George cLooney and the rest of his pals some jollies to thumb their noses at their potential audience.

I just keep thinking that the stars of the past would never have treated people this way. Clark Gable, Cary Grant, you name it, they were gentlemen.

Oh well, that was the past, and we don't live there anymore.

The old days are gone for good, in more ways then one.

Many of the leading stars of the World War II era served in the military, some, such as Clark Gable and Jimmy Stewart, on the front lines. I suspect none of the present day crop of movie stars ever wore a military uniform in real life.

There have been left wingers and outright Communists in Hollywood from its inception. However, many prominent actors and even some superstars in pre-1960 Hollywood were staunch conservatives: Gary Cooper, Loretta Young, Adolph Menjou, John Wayne, Clark Gable, Walter Brennan, and Ward Bond to name a few. Unfortunately, those days are gone.
