OVER SEXED; OVER PAID; AND OVER HERE

Whilst watching/listening to the national dem convention, I could not help but be aware of some of the hollywood celebs who were in attendance or who were making their opinions known via their 'work'.

madonna is currently busy, we are told, comparing McCain to Hitler and b.o. to Ghandi.

And richard dreyfuss, I think chevy chase (not sure), and others whom I did/do not recognize have appeared on screen, mouthing their ... 'wisdom'.

And it occurred to me that the British labels applied to our troops stationed in the UK in WW2, and perhaps in WW1, could be applied to these sorry actor and actress citizens:

These flaming libs are: Over sexed; over paid; and over here.

Unlike the military men of the two wars, however, they are pretenders, folk who make their fortunes by pretending to be what they are not, and they enjoy a forum which their background no way necessarily entitles them to.

That these folks are as ignorant as they are and that they say what they do is not the main reason to be concerned. Rather, it is the fact that so many listeners pay heed to them, and regard them as real.

They are not real. But they look like they are.

And the pathetic thing is that they think they are real. And that so many folks believe in them.
