Well there is Arnie - although he's a politician himself now so I don't know
if you count him as a celeb or not - and he's been noticeable absent from
the campaign trail (one appearance!), but then since he disagrees with Shrub
on many issues and is, by his own admission, having some, uh, 'personal
consequences' from his endorsement I can't blame him for that.

I have to say that despite having felt very very lucky not to live in the US
when Arnie got elected, he's definitely growing on me as a politician (even
despite the 'girly med' quote). He's doing better than I expected at any
rate - but then that's not saying a lot.
