Why would we as a country hold the "stars" more accountable than the politicians we've elected?

Are we numbed into paralysis and mesmerized by the media regarding figures such as Tiger Woods, while we ignore the stuff that is going on in the political arena?

Tiger Woods had a reputation for honesty, and Owe-bama hasn't.

Tiger Woods was popular, and Owe-bama is not.

We rather expect our politicians to be crooked, as we're so used to it.

It's because the country is "mesmerized"by entertainment and entertainment is mindless activity. There is also the factor of cognitive dissonance.
