What Do Stan Laurel, a Shark and Hillary Have In Common?
Somehow, I figure these not-funny pairings has something to do with religion – or lack of it – and power. After making obscene amounts of easy money for playing flawed or even demented personalities, and having spent it on every possible whim,impulse,and exhorbitant foolishnes conceivable, the Hollywood creature looks for some kind of relief from his seared conscience while at the same time, seeking to fulfill the last lust not immediately available to him -political power. Didn{t >marx say that politics is the real opiate of the godless…somthing like that. Latching onto leftist political causes with mesianic fervor and religious zeal, they get to both believe that their excesses and selfishness are atoned for, while getting a rare thrill in a life where nothing excites anymore.
