Hillary Clinton (Hollywood's beloved) was booed at Paul McCartney's Twin Tower relief concert. She was booed so loudly, she had to yell into the microphone to be heard. An estimated "90 percent" of the crowd jeered the former first lady.

I'll say it once, I'll say it a thousand times, I have no beef with actors having dissenting political views. What I do have a problem with, is them using the vehicle of their profession to espouse their beliefs upon me. Because I may enjoy their movies or their music does not grant implicit consent for their drippy political commentary. Of course, if they inject their political views into their art form, or if they take advantage of the media arena to tell me how to vote, I'll happily tune them out.

The only qualification to be an actor is the ability to lie on screen in a convincing manner. Is this why the drug users, sluts, and other assorted Hollywood types looked up to Clinton? He could "out lie" them all.

And how hard is it to be an actor? Are there any 10 year old scientist? Any 8 year physicians or 5 year old accountants? Or even a 12 year old garbage truck driver? No, those jobs take skill. Now are there any 8 year old actors? Yes, and some go to the top of the field. Many children know how to lie successfully. That's the skill set, and the only skill set. You can make a production of going to college to "learn to act," but in truth, and liar of any age can "act".

Oh yeah, and they're bullies who will go after people who dare to stand up to them. Not nice people.

I'd rather go see "Jackass: The Movie" than any of the tripe these so-called actors put out.

I liked Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman", but ever since I heard her say to Bruce Willis,"I can't believe your a Republican"! with repugnance in her voice, I've not seen one of her movies. And furthermore, if any actor offends me with their political remarks, I don't waste my money on them either. They've lost any respect I might have had for them.It's a "principle" kind of thing. I don't care how good the actor is.

Seems to me that the biggest stars with the longest careers were people who knew how to keep their big mouths shut.
