On the one hand, I really enjoyed his comments, but on the other when we delight in the occasionaly celebrity who is not a Bush hater, we add to the absurdity of people pretending that what entertainers think matter. Reagan, Heston, etc. (pick a leftist actor-turned-pol if you can think of one), earned their stripes through substantial engagement and (of course) the left still didn't take them seriously.
Ahhhh but the left recognizes pop culture for the possible propaganda machine it is. They use it to its full extent. I don't have a problem with celebrities presenting an informed opinion even if I disagree with it. Cheryl Crow talking about karma and having no enemies is stupid. Mike Farreel laying out reasons why he is against the war is not(other than my disagreement). I saw no problem with an informed celebrity making supportive statements of conservative issues. But if Britney Spears were to be reborn as a conservative spokesman and giggled "Bush is so cute that's why I trust him" I would be more inclined to agree with you.
Do celebrities have a far more weighted voice than is deserved? Certainly but in this country celebrity counts for something. That's the reality. We ignore that elep-hant in the room at our own peril.
