One more time. Let's dispel the Hollywood/liberal myth.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we're seeing several celebrities coming out and criticizing the handling of the disaster relief by President Bush and his administration. And in knee-jerk response, the right-wing talk show shills are pounding the Hollywood-Liberal agenda message.

First off, there are as many Hollywood celebrities standing behind Bush and have been outspoken for right-wing causes.

Second, here is a list of Hollywood celebrities who hold or recently held elected offices: Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Fred Grandy, Fred Thompson, Sonny Bono, Charlton Hesston.

You can add sports celebrities, who can be just as aloof and narrow-minded for right-wing causes. Here are some Republicans I can come up with off the top of my head: Jim Bunning, Steve Largent, JC Watts, Tom Osborne, Jack Kemp.

I can only come up with one prominent Democrat who held a prominent, elected office - Jerry Springer, mayor of Cincinnati. I can only come up with one sports celebrity - Senator Bill Bradley (New Jersey).

Feel free to add to the list.

2. Yes - But the Republicans can't act - so they don't count.
It's the "artsy fartsy" types with oscars they are talking about.

3. Alan Page...
Is on the Minnesota Supreme Court. Though these elections are officially nonpartisan, Page is well known to be a Democrat!

Wish they could convince him to take on Coleman!!!
