opinions shouldn't be there. But we are a celebrity-driven culture and like
it or not these folks get air-time (and both sides leverage that, not just
the left).
Some folks in hollywood do actually have decent heads on their shoulders.
But they're few and far between and like everything else the extremists get
the most play (since they're the most "entertaining").
I don't think this particular issue deep enough to support more than the
sides it already has. ;^) I think that Bush definitely misrepresented the
statement. but it wasn't "misrepresentation in the first degree". more like
the fifth or sixth degree. Besides Bush's statement was no more or less
poetically driven than Kerry's. I don't really think either meant anything
beyond sounding nice.

I guess I see it as Hollywood and the pop stars being
out of touch with reality and representative of only a
handful of extremists. Not all of them but many of
those that choose to be vocal on politics. This is why
I don't see Bush's comment as off the mark.
We all know there's a lot of spinning going on from
both sides especially this close to the election. It
should be easy to find something clearly spun rather
then something as cloudy as this.
I actually thought there was a whole new side to this
that I missed and that's why I was asking.
