Moonage Political Webdream

I’m getting tired of Hollywood peeps tainting their onscreen personnas by getting too political. The point of a Hollywood actor is to make us assume they are what it is they are portraying.

Just read this:
The big question right now among Republicans is how to remove Vice President Cheney from office. Even before this week’s blockbuster series in The Post, discontent in Republican ranks was rising.
