Former-Celebrity Idiot Alert

Former-Celebrity Linda Ronstadt on the Presidential election results:

"People don't realize that by voting Republican, they voted against themselves," she says. Of Iraq in particular, she adds, "I worry that some people are entertained by the idea of this war. They don't know anything about the Iraqis, but they're angry and frustrated in their own lives. It's like Germany, before Hitler took over. The economy was bad and people felt kicked around. They looked for a scapegoat. Now we've got a new bunch of Hitlers."

Hey Linda, who is Saddam in your analogy? The Kaiser?

One little suggestion to Linda: Given the fact that you lost your Vegas gig and (from what I can tell) not many people are banging down your door with new offers, you may want to tone down the political rants. Let's face it, the left already has one heavy-set loon and I'm not sure that there are any current openings over at Air America. As a result, you may not want to risk pissing off any of the handful of your remaining fans.

And remember what Michael Jordan used to say: "Republicans buy sneakers too!"
