Celebrities and Politics, SHUT UP
HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITY POLITICAL EXPERTS The election of 2008 was a very close and thought provoking election, more so than any other that I recall. There were so many issues: the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, terrorists, the war on drugs, the economy, etc. I like to think of myself as an independent thinker and I like to look at who is saying the things that I want to hear. We all know that all of the promises seem to be forgotten on Inaugural day, but during the races, it makes for uplifting the hearts of an American public who are looking for solutions. Thank God the poly-sci experts from Hollywood all crawled out from under the rocks to educate us. I was truly grateful to Pamela Anderson, (who by the way cannot decide if she wants BIG or small breasts.) She said her "mind" told her to vote for Obama; her heart, Hillary Clinton. I love a person who knows what they want and how to get it. The next person who had a very influential effect on me was Madonna. I can understand her consternation about the 2008 elections. I bet she reads articles about it every day in the "London Evening Standard" that is probably delivered to her English mansion by some poor English kid, trying to help his parents eke out a living. The next celebrity that I turned to was Harry Bellafonte, a renowned political scientist whose major claim to fame was "The Banana Boat Song" with the lyrics of "Day-oh, Day-oh. Daylight comes and me want to go home." This is a man who can truly get his point across. Thank God for Roseann Barr, (the Domestic goddess). Even though I could not find her education information, I'm sure that they are impeccable. I can only think this way after hearing her heart-rendering rendition of the National Anthem at the Cincinatti Red and San Diego Padres in 1990. (That was just a joke and the sponsors asked her to add some humor to the song.) It was reported that this thought-provoking conversation went on at the Barr pool, while the women were drinking umbrella drinks: "Hey, how about that economy?" "It sucks." Ha-Ha-Ha, chumps. "Hey Carlos, bring us some more pina coladas". I knew that I would never be able to make a good decision without consulting with Roseanne's friend, Sandra Bernhart. Sandra Bernhart:: comic, actress, and perhaps the most foul-mouthed woman ever known to mankind. I did see a news clip about her political views, but it was so bleeped out that I could not tell who she was backing, so I went to my computer and found that she was definitely against McClain, AND, as well issued a warning to Sarah Palin that if she came to Manhattan, she would be "gang-raped by my big black brothers." Pretty persuasive, don't you think. But the person who really influenced me the most was Sean Penn. After all, he spent time with Chavez and Castro,and has a lot of international influence. Sean attended Santa Monica College, with his majors being speech and auto mechanics. He did not graduate since it was so important to make himself recognized as the thespian and American spokesman that he is. During an interview with a distinguished journalist, the journalist asked, "Who are you voting for? And when we get done with this, could you take a look at my car? It's making a funny noise. A man who can multi-task. (By the way, he backed Dennis Kucinich.) I think celebrities are like children; they should be seen and not heard. Keep in mind that they make their millions pretending to be other people. And for the record, I voted for McClain.
