How Misguided Can Hollywood Get? Actor Kevin Spacey Meets with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez

How misguided can Hollywood celebrities be?

“The Usual Suspects” from Hollywood are once again making their pilgrimage to Venezuela to meet with  President Hugo Chavez. This time its actor Kevin Spacey. So much for Hollywood caring about those rights of the citizens of Venezuela. It is simply amazing how Hollywood can rail on President George W.

It is stunning and hypocritical that Hollywood celebs can over look the poverty and treatment of others.

Former Vice President Al Gore has now won an Emmy and an Oscar. So why can’t Al “An Inconvenient Truth” Gore win the US Presidency? Maybe a better question is, why doesn’t he even try?

Former Vice President Al Gore took home an Emmy Sunday night for creative achievement in interactive television for Current TV, his youth-oriented television channel. “We are trying to open up the television medium so that viewers can help them make television and join the conversation of democracy and reclaim American democracy by talking about the choices we have to make,” Gore said as he accepted the award.

Instead Al Gore just sits back and wants to receives statues. Complaining about a problem and blaming other does nothing, talk is cheap Al. If you really truly believed in your cause, you would run as a Democratic candidate for President of the United States. All else is just for your ego.
