“I hope you’re losing tons of money, those of you who thought this would be OK"

Jeff Daniels, on Nicolle Wallace's "The Best People" podcast, goes right at le gros orange's voters...

I'd like to know who appointed Jeff Daniels the title of Mr. Common Sense and Voice of the American People.

I assume it happened around that time he mouthed that stupid speech from the pilot of "The Newsroom," but (as much as I may agree with him on this one) I wish he'd take his guitar. go back to Michigan, and leave the rest of us alone.

If celebrities are going to feel compelled to bloviate, and they are, I wish they could all be as articulate and as full of common sense as Jeff Daniels frequently is.

Implied in this is the notion that Jeff Daniels has been in heavy rotation on whatever passes for the cognoscenti circuit these days, or at least makes frequent non-promotional appearances on the cable news shows, late night shows, and podcasts. I don't sense this to be the case -- am I wrong? 

A single in-depth interview on a podcast by Nicholle Wallace doesn't strike me as overstaying his welcome or operating outside his area of expertise, which is five decades of honing actorly observation and character development. I'm not as excited about his singing and songwriting, but I subject people to really bad puns, so none of us perfect, I guess.
