You know, here's the thing about it.
What bothers me is that these celebrities are considered experts, and they aren't very bright themselves.
I remember when Wolf, Ariania and Oliver Stone were on "Celebrity Jeopardy". ANd because this was celebrity Jeopardy, they made the questions a lot simpler so they wouldn't look stupid. And they still didn't get them right. And Ariana figured the rules didn't apply to her, because when she got a question wrong (how many wived did Henry VIII have) she kept blurting out responses until she got the right number.
Anyway, Stone actually came away with a lot more money. Wolf and Ariana just weren't that smart. But they are allowed to mold public opinion.
Now here's an idea. Let's have a debate run by Alex Trebek.... Who do you think would win that one?
Ariana Huffington used to play a conservative on the old ABC Political Incorrect With Bill Maher show before he opened his mouth about 9/11 and got fired.
She would often get into debates with Al Franken and lose. It was good comedy but it all seems disingenuous now.
I remember when she tried to get her gay husband elected to the senate, and no one was buying it. But she kept the guy's name, mostly because "the Stasinopoulos Post" wouldn't have the same ring.
