'Thank you for this'! Pat Sajak's take on celebrities doling out voting advice is 'a breath of fresh air'

Among Pat Sajak’s many wonderful and endearing qualities is his ability to not take himself too seriously. It’s a trait that’s sorely lacking in so many other celebrities — and Sajak recognizes that.

Celebrities are self-important enough as it is, but when it comes to politics, it’s on another level. This morning, Sajak called them out on it:

One of the (many) odd conceits of celebrityhood is the notion that the ability to sing or tell jokes or portray other characters somehow qualifies one to tell others how to vote. Not sure electricians or truckers or sales associates feel that way about themselves.

Well said.

Pat coming with the TRUTH this morning!

Agreed. A celebrity is allowed to have an opinion, but that doesn't automatically mean theirs has any more weight than any other person's.

I bristle at anyone who thinks they get to tell me how to vote.
