Exit Stage Left

Some of these people have threatened before and surprise, never left. This is what, Sean Penn’s second threat, just because his candidate didn’t win. Although most artists seem to be Democrats, I’d say the same thing if they were Republicans or Libertarians or Wonbulgyo (are Wonbulgyons a voting block?).

I don’t care if the reason they want to leave is political, or they don’t like your neighbor, or the tax rates are excessive or whatever. If they feel they must leave the country, I’ll hold the door open. Just don’t be a famous person trying to make a point. I don’t care what they wear (thus I don’t subscribe to People), I don’t care where they eat nor do I care who they vote for. What makes their ability to become someone else and entertain us, make their political views any more important than the rest of us “unwashed”?

I think the reason they want to move is out of embarassment. They got up and rooted for their candidate and the rest of the country felt their political views were NOT a deciding factor. There is nothing worse than telling an actor that he is insignificant

So I say “Stop threatening us and move already!”.
