As for celebs and politicians? Definitely elevated to an unearned lofty position. A certain middle-aged Irish musician come to mind right now...
Regardless, though, the Chief is the head of the clan, and respect should be given to the office/position, if nothing else. I agree, I'm not much on "gushing" myself, be it to a Chief, President, etc., but I do believe that one should show respect.
