It may have started with Jane Fonda, but it has now expanded. What makes celbrities think that we want to know where they stand on any political issue. This seems to be a much larger problem for liberal celebrities. And for the record, I don't care who a celebrity supports. If he/she likes Republicans, Democrats, or Socialists. This will not impact my financial support of their projects. Where I do get upset is when celebrities denegrate certain candidates with insults. It is at this point that I create my own celebrity embargo list. These are people who I will not pay any money to buy their videos or music, buy tickets to their movies or watch them on TV. If I hear them on the radio, I turn the station.
Celebrity Embargo List:
Barbara Streisand (some people aren't bright enough to attempt to speak without a script, but do anyway).
George Clooney (there is only one exception: Ocean's 11; I love that movie, but maybe I should watch the original)
Jeneanne Garafolo (I would try to verify the spelling, but I don't really care)
Al Franken
Whoopi Goldberg
Tim Robbins (I liked Bull Durham, but that was about it)
Susan Sarandon (I can't think of a single thing she has ever done that I have the slightest interest in)
Meryl Streep (ditto)
Chevy Chase (this is too bad, but he has tied my hands)
Jessica Lange (I am sure she has done something, but I couldn't name one project if you'd give me a million bucks)
Most of these people were in New York for Sen. Kerry's fundraiser. There were others, but I didn't hear any other offending statements. I encourage you to join me in my boycott.
