Pat Sajak On Celebrity Endorsements: Who Cares?
"Wheel of Fortune" host Pat Sajak has written against the importance of celebrity political endorsements for his personal website and HumanEvents.com, a conservative website. Called "Celebrity Endorsements: Does Anyone Really Care?" the article says in part:
This is America, and we celebrities have just as much right as anyone else to speak up about any issue. The problem is that more attention is paid to what we say because we're well known. But why should that matter? O.J. Simpson is one of the world's best-known celebrities, but I can't imagine anyone following his lead in a voting booth.
I suppose anything that gets people engaged in the political process is a good thing, but the idea that a gold record, a top-ten TV show or an Oscar translates into some sort of political wisdom doesn't make much sense to me. Trust me, one's view of the world isn't any clearer from the back seat of a limo.
Pat Sajak has personally endorsed Fred Thompson with a $2300 donation.
