Excellent observation.<BR/><BR/>I generally feel that celebrities make the poorest political commentators because they basically lack any tact whatsoever (especially comedians). They're comments are usually degrading and mean-spirited and that is just immature and uncalled for. <BR/><BR/>What annoys me most is why people listen to and respect the political opinions of celebrities? That is, people allow celebrities to sway their vote. While there are people I listen to to help me form opinions, these people (unlike celebrities) are <I>in the business of politics or political analysis</I>. I would never go to the doctor to be checked for polio just because the postman told me that it seems like I do. By the same token I would never listen to Rosie O'Donnell over Bill O'Reilly. Ok maybe that's not fair since she's a liberal and he's more conservative. Ok, I would listen and form political opinions based on something Barak Obama says before I would Rosie O'Donnell.Josh H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15650913001766522892noreply@blogger.com
