When will those celebrities stop trying to be politicians? - GoFuckYourself.com

Don't celebrities get it? What right do they have to speak about politics? They're entertainers damn it, not politiicans.

------
James Woods is that Hollywood rarity, a plain-spoken political conservative. He's charming and funny, and even when he's idling, his engine races, ready for some open road. An hourlong tour d'horizon found him holding forth against "the feminist jihad," calling Bill Clinton "a virtual nonstop liar," describing the "overwhelming, unmitigated, almost psychopathological narcissism" behind Hillary Rodham Clinton's approach to reforming the health-care system a decade ago, and recalling with great satisfaction the day he responded to Senator Barbara Boxer's question about whether he favored abortion by saying, "I do if people like you have it."

More celebs? A reader sent me this:

"I saw something on TV last night that I thought you'd appreciate. West Coast gangsta-rap impresario Suge Knight, having just been released from prison, was on the Jimmy Kimmel late-night talk show. And more than once, Suge mentioned that he supported the president and our country and our fight. He also emphasized that he was an American, and not a hyphenated African-American. . . . Rap mogul and admitted thug Marion 'Suge' Knight, new conservative hero?"

Better question: When will politicians stop trying to be celebrities?

(and get to their fucking jobs!)

I noticed they stop when they are dead.

I mean, come one. You are a fucking actor. Do your little scripts, entertain us and shut the fuck up.

Seems like people are trying to become president to launch their hollywood career

Also, theyre are celebreties also for the war. I think they are all entitled to express themselves, keeping in mind that theyre saying has some weight....

JeremySF · 03-17-2003, 01:28 PM

btw....this post was meant to be sarcastic. Celebrities can say whatever the fuck they want IMHO.

But rdunn404 does have a valid point:

"Better question: When will politicians stop trying to be celebrities?

What I find so stupid about this argument that celebrities should shut the fuck up and be apolitical is that who the fuck are we? Adult Webmasters? By that logic, what right do we adult webmasters think we have expressing political opinions?

They are using their fame to get their messgae across, of course they have a right to do that. Wtf to most politicians know about porn? Not much, but they voice moral opinions on censorship of it all the time. Some actors and other celebs don;t know what they are talking about, others do... just like every other group of people that voice their opinions.

That being said, i hope the oscars don't have a bunch of "no war iraq" or "i support the president" speechs. Although I support their right to speak out, i think that would be the wrong medium to do so, and distastful in general.

Don't know if you're serious or not, but I rarely watch or read the news, yet still keep pretty up to date on world events due to GFY. Funny shit...

LOL....

although, aren't you reading the news? GFY basically aggregates news from a myriad of sources, so in essence you still are reading the news.
