Being conservative isn't cool in Hollywood, where cool, if mindless,�fashion rules. If the GOP choses to become the Grumpy Old Party, it doesn't help. The GOP needs to be the party of cheerful, expansive, good-humored�optimism.
But back to Hollywood, a place I believe to be only one small cultural step ahead of Las Vegas and one small step behind Winnipeg. Breibart has a piece on Hollywood: Cons in the Closet. A quote:
My father-in-law, Orson Bean, an author, comedian and actor, was once blacklisted as a Communist back in the '50s. Ed Sullivan called him to say he could no longer book him on the show. Fifty years later, and after a sharp ideological metamorphosis, Orson says it's harder now to be an open conservative on a Hollywood set than it was back then to be a Communist.
