I don't disagree with you.  I did not see the program, but if I did I'm sure I would agree that Cher came off as intelligent and knowing what she was talking about.

However, when some Joe American sees a transcript of this, or especially some right-winger, they will immediately write it off because it's Cher.  They won't even care what she said.  And so it may not make the best political advertisement against Bush (plastering it everywhere) simply because it may be regarded as irrelavent simply because of who said it (even though I agree that it is very powerful and Cher has every damn right to be pissed off about this as any of us).
