"I promise to be a servant to our President." Whoah. That's just creepy. Get me re-write on the phone! Michael Graham: This pledge a bad act
...Demi Moore and her boy toy Ashton Kutcher have put together a YouTube video called "The Pledge," in which a cast of celebrities and semi-celebs pledge their service to Obama...
...Yes, yes; helping hungry people and being a better parent are good things. But weren't they just as good a year ago? Eight years ago? Did Eva Longoria really have to wait post-Bush to plant those 500 trees? Had Karl Rove stolen her shovel?
And what happens to these pledges if - Chris Matthews forbid - Obama loses in 2012? Will these celebrities go back to beating their kids, flushing their commodes and drinking their Fiji from a bottle?
America was a nation worthy of our pledges and our passion long before Moore started dating high school kids. And Obama's success didn't make America great. It's a reflection of our nation's greatness.
Demi Moore should speak the truth, admit she's really just a servant of her plastic surgeon, and leave us mortals alone.
