After having seen the last nightmare of an election, I don't think celebrities should be allowed to pull the political garbage people like Michael Moore and Ann Coulter have. Voters don't need any more confusion as to who's more immoral, who's more wishy-washy, who makes a bigger fool of himself - rather, they need informative commercials that will educate them on the issues so they can properly elect the best candidate for what truly is the most powerful position on the planet. I've never really gotten into politics, but I was absolutely shocked to hear two kids yelling total lies about the candidates at one another - each had picked up junk from the two aforementioned personalities. I know that Moore and Coulter both have strong, reasonable points, but in conjuction to their nonsensical babbling, I think it better they keep their thoughts to themselves. Does anyone else agree/have an opinion on this?

Micheal Moore is a celebrity BECAUSE he does that.

I take it as a given that when I post here, that most people will find something to disagree with.
The first thing that people may disagree with is my credentials to say what I'm saying. Fair enough.
Most people never, ever, hold their favorite celebrity mouthpiece (from Streisand to Coulter) to the same standard, which is a pretty low standard to begin with.
The main reason that I really, really liked the movie Team America is because it made fun of celebrities (and the military).
Just because you're a blogger, or a talking head on Fox, or a famous comedian, or a singer, or a supermodel, or even have your own TV show, does not mean you know shit.
And my opinion of nearly all celebrities is that they are narcissists in the extreme. And I wish that all of them, from Susan Sarandon to Dr. Phil, from Rush Limbaugh to Sean Penn, would drop off the face of the Earth and never be heard from again.
