I'm a bit surprised about Steve Martin backing Franken. One thing I liked about him was he was funny without being that political. I could have sworn it seemed he leaned slightly on the conservative side when he hosted the Oscars a few years back.

Oh well, maybe it was a courtesy donation because of his SNL connection. There are many ex SNL'ers on the list.

When it comes to Hollywood everything is an illusion. You can’t put a label on a personality without the personality being forever type-cast as that persona. Stephen Glenn Martin will never reveal if his mind is one of a liberal or a conservative or libertarian or contrarian or sabbatarian; but Stephen Glenn is all about creating, sustaining, and building the cache of the whacky persona “Steve Martin” in a town that makes or breaks you due to your persona’s perceived associations.

Most of the celebrities backing Frankin are laughingly I say considered comics.
