When I tune into any talk show host who is making a living discussing politics I am tuning in to hear his schtick on the subject. |
I never cared for what ANY celebrity thought, but whether TV star or pop star, there's nothing in the rules that say they CAN'T support anyone. Maybe it just seems odd because so few musical celebrities DO throw in a plug for a politician. I think this is because most of the stars of the 60's and 70's seemed to hate ALL politicians, and didn't want to lead anyone to elect ANY of them. There were plenty of followers but no leaders back then.

Ahh, what the hell. It's been a tough campaign, so gloat a little already. :)
