[quote GrumpyOldMan]It seems to me it must be the visual component of their art that upsets some people when movie stars make political statements. Most of those complaining about "Hollywood types" have no problem agreeing with conservative radio-show entertainers who have no special education or knowledge in politics, art, music, science or religion.
You pay attention to what they say? Why? Movie stars have as much knowledge as political commentators whose occupation is politics? Yah sure. I love it when these radio people are bashed by people who have never listened. Movie stars probably rely on watching Katy Couric once a week for their expertise. That and frou frou cocktail parties with only their own kind multiplying the misinformation. Why are you promoting them? Why not rely on plumbers for political know-how? They do not have paparazzi chasing them around and do not live in Malibu? I guess living there is the equivalent to having an PHD in political science. End of rant.
