I could never understand why people who have a talent for entertaining us and have been extraordinarily fortunate to have been discovered and successful in that business think that they know so much about government and politics.
What's more puzzling is that people listen to these people whose opinions are no better then your or mine.
Never mind that an awards show is not an appropriate venue for this kind of speech, the question of why the press covers it looms large.
Every time one of these performing fleas opens their mouth, the press is all over them.
Next maybe the Super Bowl winning quarterback will make a political speech when he's interviewed after the game.
I am very much in favor of free speech, but it seems unfair that these people have this enormous platform from to influence millions of people.
Accept your award. Thank the people who helped you and get off the stage.
