All 4 Hollywood Republicans give to McCain -- 2 Sellecks, 1 Grammer, 1 Bruckheimer

Celebrities and owners and executives of sports franchises chipped in $273,000 to John McCain and various Republican campaign committees in the past quarter.

Hollywood types who gave McCain the maximum $2,300 include Kelsey Grammer, Tom Selleck and his wife, Jillie Mack Selleck. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer also gave $5,000 to a joint fundraising committee on McCain’s behalf.

Here are some of the larger donations unearthed by The Times' Dan Morain, whose main McCain fundraising story is available here:

Michael and William Bidwell, owners of McCain's home-state Arizona Cardinals football team, each gave $50,000. Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys gave $28,500, and George Steinbrenner of the New York Yankees gave $15,000. George’s son, Harold Steinbrenner, gave $12,300.

Stockton developer Alex Spanos owns the San Diego Chargers. He and his family contributed at least $85,950 to McCain and the GOP committees.

Fellow Arizona resident Dan Quayle gave $20,000 to a McCain joint fundraising committee.

Thankfully, there are some who have thought this out. Mr. Obama is just NOT ready. Even GWB had more experience that he does and remember the outcry then?

This Pechanga person says NO to Obama. Let's get hillary....

Trotting out what people gave to which candidate points out who the real bottom feeders of jounalism are. It's the really high iQ guys that get their rocks off by catching John Edwards in an embarrassing situation that will ultimately kill his political career? Is this why I chose politics hopping to be inspired by covering statesmens' speaches and great men instead of picadillos and contributions that make no different?

The Selleck's always come through....what great people!
