After reading far too many Vanity Fairs, and watching many a Clooney or Newman flick, I began to wonder: what celebrities are Republican? A couple of years ago, there was an AMC documentary called "Rated R: Republicans in Hollywood" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0425390/) and it put some of the "top-tier" Republicans on display, talking about their politics like it's taboo in Hollywood, because, well, it really is. I remember watching like I was seeing behind the Wizard's curtain, only to realize it was a Grand Wizard for the Klan...
Now, my liberal bias aside, I'll admit that a trained Brad Pitt talking about out freedom of pot on Bill Maher is almost as annoying as any gay-bashing, god-shilling, war-mongering, woman-hating Republican. Now, I'm all for fairness and listening to differences in partisan opinion. Butcome on. I know my niche audience for this blog. You really gonna swing red? I've voted for Obama twice, and I feel no remorse. I don't think I have social psychosis.
So, out of sheer curiosity this weekend, I looked up celebrity Republicans. And, I found a circumstantial list on America's greatest natural resource: Wikipedia. Some of it could be gobshite. Mostly though, it looks legit. We know Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Arney are among the Elephants. We knew about Heston and Britney thanks to Michael Moore. But, there were some sad disappointments.
Among my biggest surprises (and possible disappointments):

All that feel good music and drug usage, only to play at the RNC?
Hmm. I guess my disappointment is really just confusion and/or difficulty keeping the faith with folks that work for a party that drives me cuckoo.
Do me a favor: look at this list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dwain/Republican_Celebrities_Page), and share your thoughts. Any bummers? Surprises for you?
