Shut Up And Sing

Very good yes. Hollywood should definitely be mocked. Along with Republicans and Democrats, intractable partsans both conservative and liberal, intolerant religious and also intolerant atheists, pretty much everybody inside the Washington Beltway… This is just off the top of my head.
 
I fail to see why any given Hollywood celebrity is less qualified to speak about politics than the typical empty talking head on Fox News (or CNN).

Besides, if you follow Fox News on twitter, they retweet and post comments from celebrities all the time, it's just that they only pick ones that happen to post opinions that they agree with, which is what this is really about, trying to silence voices they don't agree with.
 
We elected a movie star in the 80's and a reality TV star just now. The dems have more celebrities, but the republican celebrities make it to the White House.

among the left, there's Al Franken & ...?

The Right has/had, off the top of my head: Reagan, Sonny Bono, Fred Thompson, Arnold Schwarzenaggar, & ...? Plus wannabes like The McMahon family of WWE fame.

the Libertarians have Jesse Ventura.

I think one of the McMahons is being appointed to head the Small Business Administration.

Fred Thompson was an attorney and somewhat of a Washington DC bigwig long before his acting career started. He played a significant role in the congressional Watergate hearings.

He had worked as an attorney for Marie Rhogianti, Who had expose corruption on the Tennessee parole board which led to the downfall of Tennessee governor ray Blanton.

He actually backed into his acting career when he was asked to play himself in a movie based on Marie Rhogianti's story.

oh. I guess he doesn't really belong here then.

and more to an earlier point, I am also remembering all the C-lister celebs Trump brought to the RNC... from Scott Baio on down. they like celebrities too, they just have to REALLY scrape the barrel to find ones that espouse political opinions they agree with.
