Those who reside in Hollywood are most certainly a
bizarre bunch. Literally addicted to the
spotlight, they will say or do just about anything to keep the spotlight
shining on them for as long as possible. And nothing ever seems to be considered as
crossing the line of civility. And it
seems that the older they get and further removed from memory they become, the
more desperate they become to rekindle their glory days. And thus the more apt they are to try to
shock people into remembering them.
One of those who can be considered as being a
perfect example of one desperate for attention is none other Bette Midler. It
was her effort to gain for herself a little PR that she recently chose to shoot
off her rather sizable mouth proving that she is not known for her brain-power. But then none of these Hollywood types are
known for possessing much intelligence, and yet, for some idiotic reason they
always feel that they are worthy of being someone that the rest of us should
pay attention to.
Anyway, recently the esteemed Ms. Midler lamented
her belief that we have reached a point in time where we must show allegiance
to the NRA or “shut the f**k up.” Midler
did this via a tweet, in which she wrote: “Gee, I guess the USA is really
governed by the NRA. The rest of us just have to live the way they let us and
shut the f**k up.” Ah yes, Ms. Midler
seems to be quite the classy lady.
Not! What she is, is just another
no talent has-been looking for applause from absolutely anyone.
Her juvenile little tweet was clearly made in
reference to gun control’s failure to gain traction in the wake of the attack
that took place in gun free facilities at Umpqua Community College on October
1. Since that attack, the push to expand
background checks to more gun sales has been taken up in earnest, this despite the fact that the gunman, Chris Harper
Mercer, proved the impotency of this simplistic approach by passing the
necessary background checks to acquire his weapons.
Old Bette reacted in a similar fashion when expanded
background checks failed to pass the Democrat-controlled Senate in the wake of
the Sandy Hook Elementary attack. It was
back on April 17, 2013 that she joined Jason Alexander, actress Rashida Jones,
comedian Richard Lewis, and other washed up Hollywood types by lambasting the
Senate’s failure to act and suggested that those who had voted against gun
control would be voted out of office in coming elections.
This refugee from a mental ward said, “Today, US
SENATE VOTED AGAINST 91% OF THE COUNTRY THAT WANTS BACKGROUND CHECKS. WE ARE
TAKING NAMES, MOTHERF**KERS!!” Conversely, pro-gun Republicans enjoyed
landslide victories in the House and Senate, as well as in gubernatorial races
and state legislatures, during the 2014 mid-term elections. Democrat Senators
from red states who supported the background check push were largely voted out
of office.
Those who are part of Ms. Midler sophomoric little
clique seem not to have noticed that those to favored what she and her Hollywood
hypocrite friends supported got voted from office. Such leftist as Senators Mark Udall (D-CO),
Kay Hagan (D-NC), and Mary Landrieu (D-LA) were sent home by the voters. And
those denied higher office included anti-Second Amendment Democrats vying for
open seats–candidates like Michelle Nunn (D-GA) and Bruce Braley (D-Iowa).
Frankly I simply don’t understand these narcissistic
Hollywood types. They spend the vast
majority of their time ridiculing those of us who, at the same time, they
continue to expect to pay rapidly escalating ticket prices in order to see
their movies or to hear them in concert.
And frankly, I’ve stopped doing both.
These day I refuse to go to movies and I can’t remember the last time I
went to a concert the star of which wasn’t some country star. I’m through subsidizing their outrageous and
insidious behavior!
