A former actor called into Rush last week. The two of them tried to figure out what was wrong with these Hollyweird celebs.

A couple of days later a young protester called him. I can't remember her name, but she didn't like being called a Valley Girl. This Valley Girl refused to turn on her brain and even consider for a second that she might, just might be wrong. Rush certainly exercised more patience with her than I could have. He finally lost his cool when she said the reason that she hadn't protested Clinton in '98 was that she was just a kid then. Rush sarcastically congratulated her on going from a clueless kid to a 19-year-old who knows everything in four years. This girl was the classic case of arrogant, adolescent rebellion.

That conversation, juxtaposed with the previous discussion, got me to thinking about what motivated the Hollywood celebs. My conclusion: They are suffering from arrested development. (Or perhaps I should say we are suffering from their arrested development.)

What is wisdom? Wisdom is the ability to make judgment calls based on a lifetime of learning and experience. These people have so much money and power that they never grow up--only their egos grow. They are perpetual adolescents. They believe their own press. Their world is full of butt kissers and enablers who do nothing but feed their egos. No reels them in.

Give that Valley Girl fame and fortune, and she is Barbra Streisand.

Excellent, she is Barbra Streisand clone! I remember that call, I was making the beds at the time I heard it. They say you remember what you were doing when notable events happen. And that call WAS an event. Showed what IDIOTS the LEFTISTS are!

Actually, Rush was talking about Hollyweird last week and he said that because Hollywood is based on "make believe" - that's where the majority of Hollyweird people live - in a make believe world. And ... it explains why they are not connected to reality.
