Most musclemen go Republican. Writers except for Cold Warrior Tom Clancy tend to back Democrats. And successful talk-show hosts stay out of politics altogether (you listening, Chevy?). That's one way to read a survey by the Washington, D.C.-based O'Leary/Kamber Report, which reveals how much celebs gave to political campaigns during the 1991-92 election. The results are no surprise: Right-wing godfather William F. Buckley Jr. donated $1,150 to the GOP; Bill Clinton's Secretary of Schmaltz Barbra Streisand made the Democrats $16,125 richer. But a few items ought to raise eyebrows: Why is Republican loyalist Arnold Schwarzenegger giving $1,000 to the weak-kneed Democratic competition? A partial list:
