Political Paps

by digby

I have always liked Spike Lee as a director and was even indirectly involved in one of his most important films. But he is no politician or diplomat — I can say that from personal experience. Why he is consulted every five minutes for his learned opinion on the state of the Democratic party, when there are thousands of people in that hall, is sadly obvious. Apparently, the media thinks that because the country likes celebrities they also think they have some insight into politics.

He may be a fine artist but his abrasive personality and political opinion aren’t particularly representative of anything but a typical Hollywood diva.
