Former Nixon speechwriter donated to Bush and Nader. How quaint

<snip>WOODRUFF: By the way, if you look closely through the candidate's latest filings with the federal election commission, some celebrity names jump out at you. Among those we found, actress Gwyneth Paltrow has donated $1,000 to John Kerry's campaign. The creator of "The Simpsons," Matt Groenig, gave Kerry the maximum contribution of $2,000.

If you think politics has some elements of soap opera, you might not be surprised to learn that "Days of our Lives" star Deidre hall gave one grand to Kerry.

And search as we might, the only celebrity we could find who gave money to the Bush-Cheney campaign in February was former Nixon speechwriter turned actor Ben Stein, who gave $100. By the way, stein also gave $500 to independent candidate Ralph Nader.
