No Robert Duvall S Signed On With Mr. Giuliani. But We Might Be Able To Work Out Something With Carrot Top

The news here is that Rudy, in a very politics-isn’t-much-different-from-high-school way, is talking up endorsements from two guys who have worked with Hollywood Fred–though there’s no mention of this in the campaign’s press releases, of course. Duvall starred with Thompson in “Days of Thunder,” while Silver lists several episodes of “Law & Order” to his credit. It’s almost certain that Duvall or Silver, should they hit the cable TV shows in support of their man Rudy, will surely be asked about Thompson’s acting (and political) abilities. What will they say? Who knows, but it’s likely only a matter of time before Rudy’s campaign touts the checks they’ve gotten from other Hollywood notables, like Kelsey Grammar and Adam Sandler. Of course, that’s nothing compared to Sam Brownback’s recent Hollywood get: an endorsement from Stephen Baldwin, Alec’s brother and star of “Bio-Dome.” How will Thompson ever top that? Two words: Pauly Shore.
