    Well when you have 24 hours news and you have repelled the law that kept them at least somewhat grounded then you have created a fucking show and so celebrities thrive.

    Also electing a celebrity is not automatically a bad thing

      I mean we could do a lot worse than Jon Stewart. He is exactly the type of anti establishment candidate that could possibly pull moderate conservatives into the fold. I’m not saying that’s the best or only way forward but it seems to be what the DNC are planning.

      He’s been an advocate for Veterans and First Responders in Congress and at least his forward facing personality is decent.

      Also he isn’t a pedo grifter.
