1. Without reading the book (but knowing there's no "table of contents"

like most works of "non-fiction" (of which this is just opinion) -

Susan Sarandon
Tim Robbins
David Brock (former RW god)
Roseanne (Barrnold/whatever)
Barbara Streisand
Ed Schultz
Bono (honorable mention?)
Martin Sheen
Ed Asner (stretching it - has he made many waves of late?)
Barney Frank
Bruce Springsteen
The Dixie Chicks (been quiet - count as one or three?)
Johnny Depp
