From Doug Powers:
The problem, as far as Democrat politicians are concerned, is what to do with the politically active Belafonte going into an election season. How can they not have their picture taken with Harry, while still getting close enough to accept a campaign donation?
Hillary Clinton was trying to figure that out last week.
Harry Belafonte yanked his nose out of Hugo Chavez's behind long enough to go to a fund-raiser in New York City for the "Children's Defense Fund." The event was also attended by Hillary Clinton. It was later reported that Hillary, sensing potential disaster for a presidential run, employed the "just like I do with my husband" strategy – never allowing herself get within 15 feet of Belafonte.
Hillary made sure that her relationship with Harry Belafonte would remain a political Yeti: Rumored to exist, but accompanied by little or no credible photographic evidence.
Harry Belafonte is a member of an elite club of vacuous entertainers, which includes Danny Glover and many others, who think that Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, and other dictators, totalitarian fist-wavers, and tin-pot pinheads represent what is the ultimate in governmental nirvana.
You'll also notice that proponents of these systems of government also have one thing in common: They're never dumb enough to actually live in a place where it's practiced.
Leftist singers, actors, and others, would rather stay in the United States, home of the "greatest terrorist in the world," than get out from under all this violent oppression. Why?
American entertainment industry leftists stay here because good gigs are much harder to come by in socialist or communist countries. They can complain about the horrible United States from a podium in the Foo-Foo Room at the Beverly Hills Hotel, while making millions acting and directing. Or, the Hollywood left could bash the United States from a country dumb enough to practice what they preach, while getting paid two goats a month for headlining at the Lean-To Motel.
