Dems Bring Out the "Celebrities"

In a story about the Democratic convention in Variety today: 

Event is also expected to attract a large contingent from Hollywood, including a familiar group of Democratic fund-raisers: Creative Coalition co-chairmen Tony Goldwyn and Joe Pantoliano, Ben Affleck, Bianca Jagger, Billy Baldwin, Wes Craven, Janeane Garofalo, Joe Piscopo, Susan Sarandon, Anna Deavere Smith, Christina Ricci and Harvey Weinstein.

What? I thought there would be real "celebrities" there. Billy Baldwin? Bianca Jagger? Is that the best we can do? Where is that conspiracy of Hollywood lefties I keep hearing about in the "liberal" media?

Surely MTV's Rock the Vote Bus has higher octane:

Group held its "Jump Off" event Sunday night at the Avalon nightclub. Among the crowd: Bill and Hillary, Al Sharpton, Jon Stewart, Natalie Portman, Jerry Springer and musical guests (sic) X-Ecutioners and Biz Markie.

AAAGGH! It's up to John Kerry's fabulous hair to carry the glitter for the Dems this year.
