Mickey Rourke as Genghis Khan, Ridley Scott returns to 'Alien,' deliver us from Breck Eisner, more: leftover links

I quite like Kelsey Grammer... does this mean he's an ultra right wing conservative, or just a face the ultra right wing conservatives feel they can connect with?

Kenny: Probably the former. He _did_ star in An American Carol, after all.

I used to have no trouble at all with right-wing celebrities, but they just keep crossing into lunacyville. Adam Baldwin's insane rant about Multiculturalism in Sesame Street, Ben Stein's odious pro-ignorance position in "Expelled", Mel Gibson's anti-semitic drunk rant. Victoria Jackson... just no... Jesus, no. Now when a celebrity self-identifies with the Republican party or the right-wing, I get the "that's a shame, he seemed like a nice person" out of my system immediately; it's only a matter of time before they say something cruel or insane enough to deserve it later.

I think it's safe to say that you can find celebrity idiots on both sides of the ideological fence since there always seems to be people on both sides who value ideology far more than ideas and emotional soundbites far more than logical arguments.

That said, it does seem that the right has the majority of them nowadays. I especially considered it a hoot when a right-wing personality who mocked Alec Baldwin for years about his threat to emigrate if his favorite Presidential candidate didn't win made a similar threat when Obama came into office. The more things change...
