The guy licensed Star Wars ring tones to Cingular. I'd hardly call this a significant means of seeking publicity in comparison. There are rather obvious political connotations to the entire Star Wars storyline - to presume they shouldn't be spoken of (or the speech and the man should be criticized) because from some perspectives those political connotations match up with actual political landscapes seems awfully like a desire for censorship.
I'm tired of people criticizing celebrities for vocalizing their politics. Particularly as it almost always breaks down to the critique of those celebrities who vocalize political viewpoints which differ from those making the critique.
I don't find Reagan to have been anything close a good President - but I don't begrudge him his roots which enabled him to achieve the presidency.
