What's even more ironic here is the difference in how the Right is treating Hollywood stars.

During the run-up to war, any celebrity who spoke his or her mind (save Dennis Miller, who agreed with the Administration) was derided as a un-American, a Communist, or worse.

Now, however, that a celebrity wants to run for governor in the GOP cause celebre of the week, the flacks are silent. No denunciations, no claims that he should stay out of politics, nothing.

Hypocritical? More than a little bit.
