Don't believe the RW editorials you've been reading. Nobody decided to vote for Bush because they were turned off by these people. Their prejudice goes back a lot farther than that.

As a person of Jewish and Italian heritage, I understand that Franken and Garofalo are EXACTLY the wrong poster children to win Democrats votes. But it's not because of what they say. It's because the "nice, normal" average non-fundie Bush voter is deeply chauvinistic about his Anglo-Saxon or Germanic roots and culture.

Hollywood = Jews = Democrats The only way to escape this equation is to become bigots ourselves. Or yourselves, because you'd lose me.

Why should performers or anyone else be muzzled anyway? It is, for the time being at least, a free country.
