Why do some Hollywood actor types seem to feel they have the need, the right, the duty, the arrogance or what to endorse some political candidate for president? Who cares what they think?
Despite their sometimes overinflated sense of self importance, they’re just actors. What, if anything, gives them anymore expertise about what makes a good president than, say a mailman or cocktail waitress? What makes an actor’s opinion about presidential candidates so much more newsworthy than that of the letter carrier or cocktail waitress?
Actors know how to memorize lines and dramatically convey concepts thru voice, body language and facial expression. Nothing more; nothing less. They’re just kids who act in school plays, really. Richer, mind you – and often with their own private jet to flutter around on, but just kids acting in school plays. So what makes the press think they’re barometers of a person’s political science, statesmanship and leadership?
Given the personal lives of some of these prima donnas from Tinseltown, I’m not sure some of them would really know good, quality behavior from bad. So, why does the press seem to think we need to look to them for counsel on who we should elect as president?
