2. But then they might not be celebrities.
And consider: under those circumstances, those of us who won't shut up might become the new celebrities -- and be expected to shut up.

;-)

More seriously, celebrities have as much right to speak out as any of us do. Unfortunately, they tend to get more attention to what they say than they deserve.

3. Now, now
They should only shut up when they say something you disagree with.

8. I can't make out the picture on this monitor, half of it is too dark. And I've had the MSM off all
day.
What did I miss?

6. who do they think they are? Citizens with a right to speak their minds?
no way!

I really hope you are being sarcastic. I don't recognize the person in the photo.
