> What I want to know is: how come we care so much about what "celebrities" think? Who gives a damn what they think? Imagine the world being run by a deep thinker like Anna Nicole Smith (shudder).
WR,
I agree. Those weren't exactly deep thoughts in that speech. Still, it bothers me that he had appearances cancelled because of his opinions. I wonder if that is how he ended up speaking to the National Press Club. Was inviting him an editorial comment on the other censorship in which case it's great or did they just see a chance to get a celebrity in? The attempted boycott of the Dixie Chicks bothered me to. Hey, I LIKE the Dixie Chicks! How could you not like them after "Goodbye, Earl"?
Jane
P.S. Does the name "Dixie Chicks" make anybody else cringe?
