I seem to remember her making a promise to leave the country if that happened. I have no love for Barbara Streisand, but her failure to follow through on that (alleged?) promise merely puts her in the same classification as EVERY(*) politician on the planet (including Dubya). Russell Kent My take on entertainers and celebrities, whether they're actors, athletes, musicians or whatever is... They're not paid to think, they're paid to entertain us. They certainly have no business spouting off on political issues. They're trained monkeys. So shut up and do what you're paid to do! Dance for me, monkey, dance! Eric |

The problem being that since they don't live in the real world, they're even less qualified than the average person to even HAVE an opinion, much less promote it. Eric |

Charlton Heston spoke out on one particular topic (gun ownership) that he had a lifelong interest in and was VERY well informed on. On that topic, I listened to him the same way I'd listen to anyone else - with an open mind. I didn't think he was correct just because he was in "Omega Man." :Ahnooold? The jury is still out on Arnold. He may be fine. He may be awful. No matter what, he'll be better than the walking disaster we had before. Any trained monkey would be. YOU would be, no matter who you are. A random number generator would be a better gov. than Davis. :Ronnie? He worked his way up. 16 years as president of a large, powerful union before he ran for office. Popular governor, successful President (unless you think the end of communism was a bad thing.) Awful actor. Not a major star, as far as I'm concerned. No more than Fred "Gopher" Grandy. Performers *can* make good politicians. So can lawyers, doctors, carpenters, salesmen, writers and auto mechanics. But before they run for office, why should we listen to actors more than any of the others? :Or just :the ones whose positions on issues disagree with your own? I don't think Bruce Willis OR Cher should have a significant influence on public policy. |
