Pat Boone shouldn't shut up and sing One of America's greatest entertainers, Pat "I don't think censorship is a bad word, but it has become a bad word because everybody associates it with some kind of restriction on liberty " Boone , appeared on Fox News' Day Side yesterday to criticize the media for talking way too freaking much about the abuse of Iraqi prisoners . It was noticeable that nobody, including host Linda Vester , said anything along the lines of "aren't you just an entertainer? Why should anybody care what you think?"
Compare that with the much more hostile treatment Janeane Garofalo received when she appeared on the FNC last year .
I consider this further evidence for my theory that complaints about celebs speaking out on politics really mean "shut up, unless you are going to say something I agree with!"
