No, I actually don’t care about celebrity endorsements. Point in fact I tend to disdain them unless the endorser has some credentials in the world of politics and or statecraft.

OK.

I didn’t say “celebrity”, though. I said “famous person”. There’s a difference. The late Antonin Scalia was certainly a famous person ... and a person with “credentials in the world of politics and or statecraft.” I would never insult him or his memory with the term “celebrity”.

I’m not particularly a fan of anybody’s endorsements; I have seen endorsements go very badly awry.

Rep. Tim Huelskamp Of Kansas endorses Ted Cruz for president!....

Tea party congressman stated.."Ted Cruz is a full spectrum conservative that the people of Kansas should rally behind....I have seen Senator Cruz stand up for conservative principles in Washington time and time again. Whether it’s President Obama’s illegal executive amnesty, Obamacare, or massive deficit spending, we can count on Ted to start making positive reforms his first day in office,” Huelskamp said of Cruz.... “He is not one of those ‘campaign conservatives’ who are all talk — he is a proven, principled conservative.”
