Conservative News: Toto - Hollywood celebrities make poor pundits. - HUMAN EVENTS

Conservative News: Toto - Hollywood celebrities make poor pundits. - HUMAN EVENTS: "You don’t have to look hard to find an actor or singer who is jamming a foot in his or her mouth on a hot political issue. Just consider Tom Hanks’ statements last month about the reasons the U.S. fought Japan during World War II.

“We, in turn, wanted to annihilate [the Japanese] because they were different. Does that sound familiar, by any chance, to what’s going on today?” Hanks rhetorically asked Time magazine, weaving historical lunacy with moral relativism gone wild while pitching his new product, HBO‘s “The Pacific.”

You almost can’t blame the rich and famous for such mistakes. They endure an endless stream of questions while promoting their latest product and journalists know talking politics is good copy. Celebrities, whose opinions are rarely put through any rigorous testing, are only too happy to oblige.

The “Huffington Post” goes one step further, providing valuable online space to celebrities eager to play pundit for a day."
