...their support for McCain. Grammer was a celebrity attendee of Bush’s first inauguration, and Voight makes appearances on “Fox and Friends” and wrote an anti-Obama op-ed for the Washington Times in July. Hopper likes to donate thousands to the RNC, and Adkins is a conservative country music star. Bill O’Reilly is the rule rather than the exception in this cast.Zucker himself was, at one point, a supporter and contributor to the DNC, but he is rumored to have had a change of heart after 9/11.
