Robert Redford and Tony Bennett were among the distinguished Americans who were Kennedy Center honorees recently. It’s customary for the President to attend the festivities. Redford has made no attempt to hide his loathing of Dubya and his disagreement with the Bush Administration’s environmental policies, but I assume he was polite at least for the evening.
What are Tony Bennett’s politics, though? Don’t know that I’ve ever heard him pigeonholed anywhere along the right-centrist-left spectrum. Has he ever endorsed a candidate? Held a fundraiser for candidate(s)? Declared himself a member of any particular party or adherent to any particular political point of view?
