Today's Hoot

Doug Powers at WorldNetDaily.com - 'Hate Bush' rally: Hilarity from the unfunny:
Leftist celebrities wildly overestimate the power of their own opinion.

This is how we end up with pop culture ne'er-do-well movements like the "Rock the Vote" push, which should be an insult to the intelligence of younger-aged voters and potential voters everywhere. To think that – if Moby, Jennifer Aniston and the bald Tinkertoy from REM tell us to vote – we lemmings will gladly leap off whatever political cliff they do, should be an insult of biblical proportions.

These people can really get full of themselves. Years ago, my wife and I saw Don Henley in concert. Some great music, but in order to hear it, those in attendance were forced to put up with a sanctimonious monologue about saving Walden Woods that would have made Thoreau himself take his own life. We came to hear "Boys of Summer" and "Hotel California," and ended up nearly violating federal law by wringing the neck of an Eagle.

Some of these leftist celebrities may actually have in mind their version of what's best for the country. They may actually think they're doing the right thing. Their heart is in the right place. The problem for them is that their brains oftentimes aren't.

It's a good thing these people don't realize how "average Americans" view them. If they did, they'd know that their meeting at the Beverly Hills Hilton was a big feather in the cap of the "Re-elect Bush" campaign.
Speaking of which, the campaign has a new commercial - When Angry Democrats Attack.
