IF you Google the words “lots and lots of Hollywood Republicans,” you get about 58,900 hits, which just goes to show you that the Internet is really one big swamp of wishful thinking, political and pornographic.

About every four years, Republican fundraisers and strategists lose contact with reality and declare “impressive inroads” into the Hollywood community. “A lot of Hollywood stars and industry professionals are really supportive of the Republican agenda,” some glassy-eyed Republican mouthpiece will declare, with Moonie-like cheerfulness. “I’ve gotten a lot of phone calls from some major names in the business,” some Republican fantasist will chirp to some lazy, gullible reporter, “and let me tell you, they’re interested in knowing just what this party is all about!”
