Celebrity Advocates for Political Causes
- Share via
Funny that Rosenberg should bring up Tyne Daly’s name. It was Daly’s political “dis-advocacy” in the last gubernatorial election that gave celebrity advocates in general little or no credibility.
Daly was so offensive as well as so off base in her attacks on Gov. George Deukmejian that I no longer could stand to watch her on the fine “Cagney & Lacey” series.
The ad that I found most distasteful was the one done by Tracy Nelson and the little cancer victim. I know Tracy has licked cancer and I am glad for her, but I thought that to use the little girl and her sad plight to persuade people to vote for Prop. 128 was shameful.
