What is with this clown?

One day he's on a banana boat, singing "Daaaaaay-yoh!"; the next minute he's some kind of political heavyweight??

From here:
CARACAS, Venezuela - The American singer and activist Harry Belafonte called President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world" on Sunday and said millions of Americans support the socialist revolution of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.

Belafonte led a delegation (did they do the Conga?) of Americans including the actor Danny Glover (that's it. no more "Lethal Weapon" movies for me) and the Princeton University scholar Cornel West (an Ivy-League pinhead--not surprising) that met the Venezuelan president for more than six hours late Saturday. Some in the group attended Chavez's television and radio broadcast Sunday.

"No matter what the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world, George W. Bush says, we're here to tell you: Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions of the American people ... support your revolution," Belafonte told Chavez during the broadcast.

I wonder what it is that makes celebrities, even total has-beens, instant "experts" on foreign affairs. Something tells me that if brains were gas, Belafonte couldn't drive a piss-ant's car half way around a b-b. But I digress.

However, Not to be outdone, another Intellectual giant gnat offers more sage advice here. Aren't we lucky that Hollywood has their best and brightest looking out for our interests?

I feel so warm and fuzzy.
