Sort of how I feel when Susan Surandon speaks. Of course, she's entitled to her 1st amendmant rights, but it's hard for me to take her seriously.

Why?

Because she's Janet friggin' Weiss.

Her breakout role was a character who was chased around by a singing alien transsexual. People dress up in funny outfits and yell "slut" at her character even today.

Every time she talks about Iraq like it's Vietnam I think oh, boy, she's "doing the time warp again" with that comparison.

She must get her drugs from "Columbia".

How does her background as an actress protreying an alien mad scientist transsexual sex toy and suicidal feminist give her a foundation to make her an expert in geopolitics that I should take seriously?

Like this hippy-lady at the last live music event I went to; droning on about her leftist politics while talking about all the acid and drugs she did in the 60s 70s and 80s and even a little now.

OK, well, the validity of letist politics aside, you just told me you're a lifelong drug addict. I can respect your 1st amendmant rights but I can't take your opinion seriously because I can only imagine how fried your brain is.

It doesn't really matter how good/bad of a comedian Franken was. The issue is does this comedian have the background to engage in serious, competent governing?

How does playing a silly role like "Stewart Smalley" make this guy someone I want running the country?

What entertainers don't get is that being entertained and being confident in someone's political judgement are two totally different things; being good at one doesn't always or usually make you good at the other.

Regan was the exception, not the rule.
