Celebrity endorsement du jour

I think it’s just my week to rant. Today is Tsunami Tuesday, Super Tuesday, Over-the-top Jumbo-sized Tuesday and celebrities are coming out of the woodwork to endorse this or that candidate. Who cares?

I am only marginally impressed when other politicians put their stamp of approval on a candidate, but I couldn’t care less if an actor, television personality, or musician does it.

Regardless of which party candidate I favor, I am not going to be swayed by who they have standing with them on the podium. If anything, I will question their judgment and look at them with a more discerning eye.

Mike Huckabee has had Chuck Norris by his side for most of his campaign… why would he think that lends him any added political credence? What does Norris know, that the rest of us don’t, about Huck’s ability to run this country? And why should we care what Norris thinks?

Barak Obama has the backing of the most-high diva Oprah. Again, why should this in any way have an influence on the general public?

Other A-listers who have come out in support of Obama include George Clooney, Edward Norton, Will Smith, Robert DeNiro and Rob Reiner. So what?

He also received endorsements from Caroline Kennedy, Maria Shriver Schwarzenegger and Sen. Ted Kennedy. I know it’s the cynic in me, but these endorsements feel more like indictments AGAINST Hillary Clinton, than they seem like SUPPORT for Obama. Could it be that Hill or Bill pissed Ted off somehow and this is how he retaliates?

Same as Rudy Guiliani putting his support behind John McCain – does he really think McCain is the better candidate, or does he simply want Huck and Romney to lose the nomination? Who knows?Who cares?

Bad-boy Sean Penn’s support for Dennis Kucinich apparently didn’t help.

White House groupie Barbara Streisand has jumped on Clinton’s bandwagon, as has rapper 50 cent. Wow… now there are a couple of people whose political prowess I admire. Please!

Political powerhouse Harry Belafonte has John Edwards’ back, as does Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Brown (who?).

Seems the best Romney could do is laugh it up with late night talker Jay Leno.

It’s all pointless.
