The celebrity endorsement advantage goes to Harris. We know that. Harris will wrap up her campaign on Monday by appearing with a bunch of celebrities, some paid, some just chumming, and one billionaire pleading with the unwashed masses to join their cult and vote for the dolt who hangs with celebrities.
I’ve written about celebrities and the fascination people have with actors who have no interest in fly-over country. I grew up knowing and seeing actors. I know that most of them are pretentious people who do not deserve the worship they get. That Trump doesn’t get a lot of actor endorsements is a positive, not a negative.
A few days ago, I mentioned a buddy of mine. He’s a former actor. He was on a long-running sitcom that ended decades ago, but people still want to “touch his robe.” It is equal parts irritating, fascinating, and sad. I remember sitting in his bedroom reading his fan mail. It would have been funny if it weren’t so pathetic. Girls were sending pictures to him. They were usually nude. There were proposals of marriage and the “I’ll just die if I don’t have your baby” type of letters. I didn’t get it. I never will.
He was just one of the guys, except he got cast for a long-running TV show and became a teenage idol. Why? Only because his face appeared on TV one night a week (and on magazine covers). He’s a smart and funny guy, but the knuckleheads who worshiped him didn’t know that. They worshiped his celebrity. My friend has his quirks like everyone, but he’s got nothing on Hollywood’s “A” listers.
Charlie Sheen has endorsed Harris. He was the highest-paid TV actor at one point. Charlie Sheen believes that George Bush concocted a vast conspiracy (within eight months of taking office) and is also the dumbest president ever. According to Charlie, Bush brought down the Twin Towers, killing 3,000 people. Sheen thinks he has the high moral ground. He’s been credibly accused of beating his wife. He’s also an admitted sex addict. Does his endorsement move a needle? I sure hope not. Sheen and his dad memorize lines and repeat them into a camera. Martin Sheen isn’t and never was a president. The Sheens pretend for a living, but they want you to believe that Harris will “save democracy” or something.
Has Danny Glover endorsed Harris? Probably. I just haven’t seen him pitching for Harris. Glover blamed a Haitian earthquake on global warming.
“When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?”
Sure, Danny, now take your meds and go to bed.
Harris will spend Monday hanging with her peeps. A gaggle of celebrities. Who are her celebrity friends and endorsers? It’s a long list. B listers clambering to get on the A list. Wikipedia has a massive page of names of Harris endorsements, from A-listers down to “Who?”. That page also has “notable military personnel” endorsing Harris. There are four photos. Wesley Clark, Stanley McChrystal, Neil McCasland, and Alexander Vidman.
I think I’ll hang with the garbage. The irony? Blue-collar isn’t voting blue, but Harris has blue-pilled her sheep into accepting that Harris is the blue-collar champion.
Trump has bitter, clinging garbage deplorables.
Biden and Harris, you guys chum with celebrities; I’ll hang with the garbage-clinging deplorables.
