Since when did celebrities become authorities?

Two headlines out this afternoon: "Singer Pat Boone insists Obama born in Kenya" and "Tony Bennett Tells Howard Strern the U.S. 'Caused' 9/11." You know what, celebrities? SHUT THE HECK UP, how's that?

    Yep. You are totally right. I say this even though I LOVE Pat Boone; he was one of my teenage idols. But being a Hollywood personality doesn't make anybody an expert on politics. They should all shut up.

    Amen amen amen amen.

    The other is Jenny McCarthy, anti- vaccine nutjob. Why do parents listen to a D list actress over their doctors? Something has gone wrong with our society when our trust in rational thought has declined so much and we are ready to believe any dipshit with a platform.

    Thanks for the post even if it did get me a bit exercised.
