EXACTLY!! I recall lamenting that when the Clintons were elected (I meant the plural. What, you didn't really think we were just electing Bill did you?) that we have finally come to a point that in order to get elected to public office, the only skill that was required was the skill of getting elected.

And as DocIllinois pointed out:"This is giving me flashbacks of all the times I've had to explain to patients that Suzanne Somers is not, in fact, an authority on healthcare."

I am getting to the point that I think Celeb opinions should come with a warning "What I am about to say may have no bearing on anything at all and may be the stupidest thing that you have ever heard, but hey, I am famous so I am going to say it anyway"

And, Sig, as you pointed out, Reagan was not a Celeb and was a journeyman actor, was the President of SAG, and Governor of CA. Apples and Oranges.
