I feel the same way about celebrities as I do about politicans. Most of them are famous or infamous people that use their fame as a somewhat larger soap box to push their adgenda. It's not good or bad. It just is. George Cloony has some good toughts despite the fact that he is not an expert on foriegn policy. Arnold Swarezzen...eh....Shwartsenn....hmm...Governor Arnold really has absolutely no experience being a governor but he was elected to make those decisions just the same. We vote for politicans based on how well they can get our votes, and we support celebrities based on how much money they can get from us at the box office or the ratings they can get from us on the neilson box. Either way, we sort of democratically choose them to talk out of their asses. I don't think Bush is any more or less qualified to talk about homeless people than Susan Sarandon.
We as a society should put more weight in the words of experts, but we don't. They're not as fun.
