Interesting Contradictions

A few days ago, on Morning Sedition, the Marks were talking about Bruce Springsteen's "Vote for Change" tour. They mentioned that the Republicans were trying to counter that concert with one of their own, but that they couldn't figure who they could get to perform. The Marks had quite a laugh about the fact that no celebs were associated with a pro-Bush sentiment and so many were associated with the anti-Bush sentiment.

A few hours later, on the Randi Rhodes show, Randi was furious at the Republicans. According to her, they were saying stuff like 'no one cares what these singers think'. She was outraged because they have many many celebs on their side, including some who are speaking at their convention (of course, she made a point of denigrating those celebs, essentially saying they were brainless idiots).

So on my way to work, no celebrity could possibly be interested in being pro-Bush, and on the way home tons of them are.

Then Randi says it is an awful thing to denigrate the political opinions of anti-Bush celebs right before she tells us that the pro-Bush celebs don't have political opinions that are worth anything.
