Someone needs to develop a theory or better yet - start a website - about why only second rate celebrities seem to ever be republicans, because aside from Arnie, Bruce, Mel, and my hero, Charlton Heston, there are no outspoken A-listers and they're certainly the exception to the rule. Just to get your wheels spinning: Pat Sajak, James Belushi, Delta Burke, Tony Danza, David Spade, Ted Nugent, Dee Snider, James Woods, Rick Schroder, Dean Cain, Vincent Gallo, Kevin Sorbo, Buddy Ebsen (RIP), Ben Stein, and lastly, Steven Baldwin (Not Alec, not Billy, not even Daniel, no - we're talkin' the stand-in Barney Rubble when Rick Moranis isn't available). There are a few A-listers rumored to be on the GOP-bandwagon (Denzel Washington, Gary Sinise, John Malkovich, David Lynch), and a few whose names don't sound a siren call of lameness (Emma Caulfield, John Rhys Davies, Vince Vaughn), but I have my doubts. And if anyone can spin me a theory on why the GOP has a lock on both super vapid uber-pop couples, Sarah Michelle Geller/Freddie Prinze Jr. & Nick Lachey/Jessica Simpson, I'm all ears.
