Typical, left-wing egotist
What is it about actors? They seem to think that we should all be interested in their politics - simply because, at one time or other, they have been in the spotlight. Because their face has been on the big screen, well, that makes them experts on all national issues. And they will use any national exposure to tell you what they believe and how those who disagree with them are need to listen.
Modine found the time to appear on the "OReilly Factor" to tell us how he is a liberal. Yawn. And how he is now handing out cards that say "card-carrying liberal". And, to him, that is extremely important. He didn't say a word about his next film or his acting career - no, it was all about politics.
What Modine and his ilk just don't get is most Americans, and everybody else, don't need to hear a political speech from every two-bit actor. We can access our political needs from many sources - TV talk shows, radio, newspapers, magazines, the Internet, our local political offices and at candidates' rallies. What we need from our entertainers is relief from the drudgery of politics, sometimes. They just can't grasp how we don't need political speech 24/7, and that we do need entertainment to "take us away" from it all.
Bob Hope, where are you?
