With Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon delivering truckloads of signed petitions to the UN today against the war, the question arises, do celebritites carry more weight on your political views than every day citizens? Should they even be given air time on the news for their protests? Would you rather get your political stances from CNN, Martin Sheen, coworkers or some other place?

Should they? Probably not...
Will they? Yup.
Why -- celebrities make good TV. If you show Tim Robbins talking about what he had for breakfast this morning you are guaranteed ratings. Celebrity involvement in politics goes back as long as we've had celebrities! They used to be war heroes, now they're actors. Ronnie Reagan even became Pres!
