Political endorsement by a celebrity is a sketchy thing because, for every devoted George Clooney fan who might be positively influenced, there's probably another voter who doesn't especially want to hear from Hollywood when choosing a presidential candidate.
But if there's one area where the stars do have actual expertise to contribute to the mix, it's in marketing. A prime example comes today from Rob Reiner (a HIllary Clinton fan, for those who don't subscribe to Variety).
This parody of his role in her campaign is a bit long for how funny it is, but the gimmick is enough to keep you going until the amusing end.

I wish celebrities would just shut up... but I have to admit that Meathead did a good one here.

You felt compelled to throw that one in there, did you?
Remember this one when you complain about how people attack you all the time. Perhaps you deserve it. And perhaps you're as loony as those about whom you complain.

No Johnny D - Republicans who think Democrats are meatheads are themselves meatheads, since they cannot think for themselves and just blindly follow the GOP line.

Yes, but not all meatheads are Democrats.

The meatheads who support the Republic Party ARE WORSE:

Op109, I think a little gest about Democrats and meatheads doesn't quite equate to the childish name calling of one John E that includes such "classic" phrases as Johnny Ding Dong, Johnny Widestance, Johnny Doughnuts.

John D you've refined name calling into a science. Give it a rest.

TEll Rob if you have his address that Hilary is just not good enough to be President; she caters to greed and is in it for the power and money; she has helped do some very bad acts to good citizens such as myself and many others;PLEASE HELP STOP HER; do not support her.
