Many Big Stars Like Bush

I don't know why people are always complaining that celebrities within the American entertainment industries are overwhelmingly supportive of liberal causes and politicians. Just in the last few days Gary Sinise and his Lt Dan band have gotten a lot of publicity about a new movie that documents their efforts to entertain the troops and ease the suffering of the hundreds of thousands of children made homeless and their lives disrupted by the Middle Eastern Wars. Also in the acting community there are well known conservative boosters like Kelsey Grammer and Jon Voight. I believe that within the Country Music community, almost a majority support conservative American values. I have heard that many actors on daytime television dramas vote Republican, at least some of the time.

Now we get word that another major movie star is speaking out in only marginally qualified full support of President Bush and his handling of the Global War on Terror. A legend of stage and screen that many have hailed as the new Brando.

Rourke? The new Brando?

I recall Michael Jordan famously said as to why he didn't donate money to Democratic causes. "Republicans watch basketball, too."
