Alas, he’s quite married, and has some very cute kids.

Brad Pitt is so not a “liberal democrat”. He endorsed Johny Kerry but hasn’t come out for any political party. I’m for Meg Whitman for California Gov, but am SO NOT a Republican. (I also am SO NOT a Democrat).

So the real question here is… is this Doug Pitt you speak of single? jk

@princess pea: I sense your humorous sarcasim and I like it. Answer is still yes.
… Congress has way to much red tape do accomplish much worthwhile in the short time they’re “working.” As a private citzen, or head of a charitable Co., though, Doug could accomplish anything with his millions.

Being from Springfield and traveling in the same general circles as the Pitts, I’d be far more surprised at Doug not being a Republican than him being one.

I can believe this. Brad has a certain cynicism about politics, which he has been more vocal in expressing in the past, before his own work in projects like the New Orleans one. I live a couple of hundred miles or so from Springfield and the area is extremely conservative. It is highly likely that the whole family is Republican except Brad, who was liberalized when he moved to the west coast. I could see Brad envisioning his brother running some sort of business/charitable empire at some point. In fact, the whole million dollar local donation that occurred there recently could have been the kickoff to something like that. It also could have given Brad the chance to show his family how much more could be done if Doug was not in Congress. And it would back up the conservative principles of focusing on the private sector for change rather than gov’t.

I am confused by the idea that Doug can do more good for the world outside of politics than he could in it. Are American politicians only good for scandal? Do they actually get paid big money to do NOTHING?
