Umm, no, it's because you suck.

Ron Silver, self-declared 9/12 Republican, complains that his Republican activism is hurting his career.

My hunch: it might be that his ability to only play slimy yet creepy one-dimesional villains that is hurting his career, but maybe that's just me, Mr. Vegas.

Although, that might make a good sitcom/action show: out-of-work Republican actors who have to work nights as private detectives to cover the bills. Tension between those who are "out" and their Republican friends, living the lie deep in the closet, terrified of being outed. We could call it "The 'R' Word."

Tom Selleck and Tony Danza, call your agents.
