I was trying to head off the "damn liberal celebrities" argument at the pass with a showing that the GOP is just as celebrity-rich. In fact, GOP celebrities have been more successful in actually winning elected office, from what I can tell. I will be watching Al Franken's race in MN with interest.

You're correct in this - my initial reaction had nothing to do with the party or group affiliation. If Adam Sandler (a Republican) were to go out today and do something similar, I would have the same reaction.
