Reince Priebus: So to improve our messaging, we've decided to recruit a GOP celebrity task force! Sid: Uh-huh... Sid: Okay, couple problems I see with that, Reince. First, there aren't any A-list celebrities who support the GOP. Your second problem is there also aren't any B-list celebrities who support the party! Reince Priebus: How about the C-list? Sid: That I'd have to check on. Trump may hold all the rights.
I am ALWAYS astonished that allegedly “Serious people” take the opinions of Actors/Actresses seriously.
An Actor is a LIAR, a professional LIAR.
They stand in front of a Camera, in “Clothes not their own” and recite words that OTHERS have devised for them to say. Yes, they do so convincingly, THAT is their tallent. But the words are NOT theirs, nor the opinions.
I suppose, given the sorry state of today’s elected “Officials,” that they are similar to most Office-Holders in being LIARS, but other than that they have little in common.
