Reply #2: Republicans are having a fit about a recent Hollywood fundraiser [View All]

[Bullshot]

for John Kerry, saying that the Democrats are beholden to all of those out-of-touch actors and actresses. Name me one former Hollywood celebrity who holds or recently has held a national elected office. On the Republican side, you have Ronald Reagan, Fred Grandy, Fred Thompson, Sonny Bono and a slug of others if I'd take the time to recall.

Then, there are the sports celebrity names, such as Tom Osborne, Jim Bunning, JC Watts, Steve Largent and others who benefited from their relatives' sports names like Connie Mack and George Allen.

In a way you can add Charlton Heston to that list, too.

It seems to me that the Republicans are more beholden to the Hollywood/celebrity mentality because their supporters are holding the elected offices.
