Separation of Hollywood and State

In light of the recent news of Oprah Winfrey being seriously considered as a candidate/bidder for Obama's senate seat, and this amusing photo series of the marketing event that the inauguration was turned into (apparently so important that it caused A-list celebrities to emerge from their oxygen bars long enough to be seen in D.C. for a day):

I'm thinking we may need a Constitutional amendment providing for the separation of Hollywood and State before these showbiz political aspirations get out of hand and Ashton Kutcher gets appointed as Secretary of Anything.

Demi Moore waits patiently for Ashton Kutcher
to attempt to string a sentence together...

On the flip side, I'm glad for any occasion that will put Shakira in pair of leather pants. And I am also grateful that it kept the entertainment industry from producing any more crappy music and movies for a few days. I am looking forward to their increased taxes funding my tax cut and various other stimulus programs/bailouts. Patriots all!
