Why do all the idiots in American politics always get all the media attention?

Harry Belafonte is a really popular Kareoke performer here in south China. People always sing (horribly off-key, with bad accents) his banana boat song every frikkin time they go to a KTV. Which is like, at least once a month. He's even more laughable after you've heard that a few dozen times.

In general I think the celebs-turned-political activists thing is stupid. I mean come on, how can anyone possibly take them seriously! They'ed do better for their causes by just giving all their money to someone who's not a complete moron.
