I find the whole celebrity culture disturbing. Theres something wrong with a culture that worships fame for fame's sake. Just because someone is well known doesnt mean they are god-like creatures that can do anything. I'm really afraid of this culture bleeding into something as critical to our society as politics. We need real, visionary, intelligent people in goverement. We dont need famous faces with funny little catchphrases. There has to be more than face. Government is not just another stage its real. Its about the actual running of a country. I dont think people know the difference anymore. Should we really give such a huge amount of power to someone just because we recogize them from some film we quite enjoyed. The real question is would old Arnold be governor if we hadnt see him in Terminator and The Last Action Hero? The answer is no. Its a issue that goes right to heart of western culture. If I ran for governor (of what is in essense a state the size of a small country) people would question my experience, what makes me think I can just come off the street and run a state? Which is a more than legitimate question. Its funny we dont ask celebrities these questions....
Another point. Does it really reflect well on a state when a its recall election is dominated by actors, billionaires and pornstars? What is California, Fucking Disneyland?
