I’m tellin ya Andy, you’ll regret selling out to them revenuers
Andy Williams, Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry, RFD, has seen his favorability ratings tank after shilling for the new Obamacare program for Medicare:
Our latest North Carolina poll found Griffith at 44/22 in the state for a net favorability of +22. That represents a 25 point decline from June of 2008 when Griffith was at a net +47 (56/9.)
There’s not much doubt that it’s Griffith’s forays into politics, most recently in support of the health care bill, that are driving down his poll numbers.
I love the Andy Griffith Show. And I enjoy Andy’s comedy on the Sirius/XM Family Comedy Channel. But like any other celebrity that delves into politics, he risks losing the ability to be an abstract malleable figure the more he becomes a very real person talking up things I dislike.
You don’t need the money, I assume, Andy. So keep your reputation.
