Hollywood's Bold and Beautiful & Mr. Kerry - O

Hollywood is on the campaign trail. Have you seen the ubiquitous Ben Afleck? Ever present and always comforting. Or the world’s current darling, Michael Moore. How adorable was he sitting with President Carter at the DNC? Oh, what is that? You are asking about their credentials? Their qualifications for contributing to the Democratic Presidential candidate?

Well pardon my crudeness, but crap floats, so what else would we expect to find around the Johns? Or am I mistaken and did Madonna and Johnny Depp complete their postgraduate fellowships at Rand or CSIS?

No, none of the Hollywood “ACTORS” have any formal training or education in foreign policy, counter terrorism or political science. They are “ACTORS”. They are trained monkey people. Now they seem to believe they are the roles they briefly stepped into.

Ben is writing speeches for John Kerry. Does that strike you as odd or frightening? The man who starred in Gigli and Jersey Girl is helping to shape the policy and voice of the man who would be responsible for the greatest nation on earth.

How very sad and troubling for John Kerry that he would have no more authoritative resources than Hollywood, troubled and pathetic “ACTORS” to surround his campaign. Oh, I am sorry, I nearly forgot, he does have the bold and beautiful, John Edwards who couldn’t make it as an “ACTOR” so he settled for being a trial liar. My mistake.
