So, good job, Ashton” (Goodin). In addition, Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska, compliments the actor, loving how he stayed true to himself and didn’t “take Iowa out of the boy” (Miller). She shows her delight on how Ashton Kutcher didn’t let the fame change his morals despite of all the “Hollywood glitter”. Rush Limbaugh, a talk-radio host, doesn’t really know the liberal actor.
