Why do we listen to Hollywood stars for political advice?

Thank you for running Jonah Goldberg’s Tuesday column, “Why we’ve let Hollywood stars become our moral guides.” Finally, a word of reason.
I don’t ask my hairdresser how to fix my car. I don’t ask my manicurist how to fix my plumbing leak. I go to the movies or watch TV for entertainment. I certainly wouldn’t let someone who played a doctor on TV operate on me. Why on earth would anyone follow the advice of an actor for political advice? Hosting a talk show isn’t exactly training for dealing with major issues concerning our nation.
