Sarah Palin vs Hollywood Stars

While I'm no fan of Sarah Palin I can see her point. Why do people give a shit what the likes of Matt Damon think when it comes to politics?

*drumroll*

Because they are famous.

It would be interesting if she said such about celebrities who agreed with her.

As it is, it is hardly worth discussing that a political figure doesn't like it when they are mocked

Well, in this case, I would think that Matt Damon would be for more politically astute than Sarah Palin... and not half the dumbass that she is...so I would respect his opinion over hers.

That being said, I'd probably respect papa smurf's political acumen more than Sarah Palin's.
