Ah...so...just because he's an actor...he doesn't know anything about politics. How do you know he doesn't have any experience with politics. Did you grow up with him? Do you know him personally? Have you even been paying attention to Hollywood lately? It's a lot more political than you think.
Are you saying that he shouldn't state his opinion just because he's an actor? Because that's what it sounds like. He's a human just like the rest of us, and he has his rights too. That does include freedom of speech. If you're going to tell him to keep his opinions to himself, then you had better do that same thing.
They are role models. They *should* be speaking out. People listen to them. I'd rather listen to George Clooney go on about politics than listen to Jessica Simpson go on about her lame music.
((Most of them should just step back and shut up until they can say something beneficial.))
Wow. I guess it's a good thing that Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger did that, huh?
