“Old Guy,” Rob Reiner, has a reported net worth of $60 Million. He’s about my age, but, younger, and like me, was born into “a Jewish family.” But, Rob Reiner is the son of famed comedian, film star, and multi-millionaire, Carl Reiner.
Carl Reiner is said to be worth—on his own—$70 Million.
Rob Reiner has been described as a leftist lunatic and anti-Trumper who grew up rich, privileged, lacking nothing, and able to trade off his father’s famous name.

There is not much to say about Rob Reiner, so I will be brief. There’s no denying his actor/director filmography as listed in Imdb.com. Rob Reiner is movie-talented.
But this does not make him an expert spokesman for America or Americans.
One reads and hears about Rob Reiner “so much,” because he is beloved of the Leftist media. He is a Leftist activist. Because he rants and spews against President Trump, he is a darling of headline-starved “entertainment” mass-communications. He is famous and gives good access.
Rob Reiner is reportedly a self-styled “expert” in drugs, due to an addiction of his son Nick. Rob Reiner states he knows depression via the death of his close friend, Robin Williams. He Apparently believes he also somehow knows about “psychiatric matters,” politics, and political people.
To me, Rob Reiner is a loudmouthed, crazed-sounding, deranged-sounding, dirt-spewing, alarmist, Liberal, Progressive—he’s a seeming, “snowflake hero,” and a crude, obscene, anti-Trumper.
Robert Reiner...is an American actor, director, producer, and writer. As an actor, Reiner first came to national prominence with the role of Michael Stivic on All in the Family (1971–1979), a role that earned him two Emmy Awards during the 1970s. As a director, Reiner was recognized by the Directors Guild of America (DGA) with nominations for the coming of age comedy-drama film Stand by Me (1986), the romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally...

He also directed the psychological horror-thriller Misery (1990), the romantic comedy fantasy adventure The Princess Bride (1987), and the heavy metal mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap (1984).... —Wiki

To me—aside from his being loved by the socialist media, and seeming to have unbridled confidence in an overt Leftist, activist persona—Rob Reiner is totally unqualified as any type of “expert” in conservative politics or conservatives and their causes, ways, or means.
I mean—to me—Rob Reiner seems no more qualified than any slob next door or laying in the street. In fact, I, personally, don’t give a flying damn WHAT he thinks or feeeels about politics, about Trump’s America, or about my conservative world.
Rob Reiner is entitled to say anything he wants to say. Although this seems to be a privilege restricted these days to liberals. Yet, in my America, a Constitutional America, he has that right.
Many have died to preserve and protect Rob Reiner’s right to say what he wants to say—even if it’s against Trump, against You, Me, and Trump’s America.
My—and President Trump’s—idea of America, seems to be one that Leftist activists would banish. They would eradicate from Earth, an America with bold, enshrining documents about freedom, Life, and Liberty. Men and women have died protecting those documents and the pursuit of “Happiness,” for some 243 years—since America’s founding.
America was created by compassionate geniuses. People who believed in equality of those with a stake in America; in conservatism, the Constitution, and a protective rule of law.
I am not sure Rob Reiner knows this, or would care.
Or that he even has any views, other than those not consistent with America as founded.
To me—Rob Reiner is just another big, fat, fricking, pie-in-the-sky, unicorn-fart, hate-spewing, un-informed, deluded, anti-Trump, anti-You, anti-Me, Leftist, Democrat. .
A fairly capable actor with awful stupid politics. Amazingly stupid about politics society and civics.
Both got fat and rich off the free-enterprise, capitalist system in America and now they want it to become Cuba.
No one should pay any attention to Reiner because he's just pumping his chest....er....belly out to the liberal, Hollywood community.
He peaked as Archie Bunker's Meathead and thinks that role is real life.
Rob Reiner reminds me of Bob Hope’s brother.......NO HOPE!
Wow. In the entire article the author never once uses the name Meathead. Unnecessary as the facts speak for themselves.
Whereas stereotypes arise out of thin air for no reasons at all ....
Meathead was a cofounder of Castle Rock Entertainment, which produced Seinfeld, among many other successful projects. I thought he would have at least $1 billion.
And how many of those roasts have you seen? The speakers are always saying something absurd, offensive, obscene, and the person they are talking about has to just sit there looking awkward, or else uneasily join in the laughter.
The biggest disappointment in Carl Reiner’s life.
I know that liberals like Rob would claim that "No, they're not conservative, they're humane," but the events of those movies could only take place within ordered societies.
There are no stories in post-modern atomistic and anomie-ridden societies. Just crime and drug statistics.
Don't kow but her sure looks like a MeatHead....
So Rob, thanks for Princess Bride and Spinal Tap.
Shove it for all the rest of your immature low IQ idiotic dumb*ss ideas.
Didn’t Jeffrey write an article about Michael Moore a couple of days ago? That one was spot on as well.
He has lots of money and as a socialist he does not want to give it away. He also does not want others to have the opportunity to get lots of money. More taxes more control by the democrats is want he wants.
What was left out is that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree, the only difference is Carl, mostly, kept his rabid liberal idealism quiet but there were times when on a show with another liberal like Carson or Dick Cavett, that he felt comfortable letting it all hang out. A Pox on both of them!

He was properly identified decades ago: Meathead. Fit then, fits now, will work well on his grave stone.
I would also add “Stand By Me.” Great movie!
Politically, Rob is a meathead.
>>Rob Reiner is reportedly a self-styled “expert” in drugs, due to an addiction of his son Nick. Rob Reiner states he knows depression via the death of his close friend, Robin Williams.
Was Robin Williams’ depression from his drug abuse or was his drug abuse from his depression?
I thank the comedians who made Spinal Tap, they improvised a bit of it and the workprint was 5 hours long. That runtime was 3 times as long as the theatrical version.
That cast worked on other films together that were also funny.
Not a Rob Reiner fan.
