Then I'm willing to suspend my disbelief and entertain the possibility that a <quote>free speech advocate<unquote> can run for and get elected governor of California.;)
Pretty weird...

To tell the truth, I really don't know what the big fuss is about. It's not like he is the first Hollywood star to become a politician. It's almost like everyone has forgotten the Ronald Reagan started out as a Hollywood Hottie. Now, some Republicans revere him as the greatest president ever.
