Anytime someone in Hollywood has the guts to question the lockstep liberal orthodoxy of the Left Coast its a cause for celebration.
So hats off to Robert Downey Jr. for saying this in an interview with the New York Times:
"I have a really interesting political point of view, and it's not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can't go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can't. I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics ever since."
Hats off as well to Angelina Jolie, who when asked in an Entertainment Weekly interview what it's like to work with a Republican (Clint Eastwood) replied:
"Actually, we don't disagree as much as you'd think. I think people assume I'm a Democrat. But I'm registered independent and I'm still undecided. So I'm looking at McCain as well as Obama."
