I think the implication is that even though celebrities have free speech rights, people don't necessarily need to be attributing a greater weight/significance to the things these people say just based on the fact that they're celebrities.
granted, in re-reading ray's post...he does seem to be directing his ire towards the celebrities themselves...but i think it would be "healthier" to direct it towards the lemmings of society who put a greater faith in the things these people say due to their celebrity status. The above, of course, does not apply to Angelina Jolie since she's freakin' hot. :) On 6/24/05, Larry C.
