During his iconic opening monologue as host of the 2020 Golden Globe Awards, British actor-comedian Ricky Gervais hilariously admonished the assembled Hollywood royalty:
"If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent, and your God and f**k off, OK?"
Welp, we had a perfect case in point with a simple tweet from actress Patricia Arquette on Friday in response to reports that Russia was attacking the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine as part of an attempt to “blackmail the whole of Europe.” Her solution?
Kick Russia out of NATO.
OK then. Why didn’t we think of that?
Then crap got even funnier when Arquette deleted the tweet after being mercilessly ridiculed.
Fortunately, yup — screenshots live forever.
Then things really got hilarious, mere hours later, when Arquette desperately attempted to extricate herself — bless her Planet Looney Tunes heart — with the following “explanation” of her “accidental” faux pas:
I’m dyslexic. It’s in my bio and has been for years. A couple 14 hour work days laters [sic, and sic] and I flipped NATO and UN.
Aaand the beautiful condescending attempt to flip the script against those who called out her stupid tweet:
“You will live.”
Apparently aware of “We ain’t buyin’,” Arquette then dug her hole even deeper, tweeting “proof” that dyslexia was indeed the culprit.
Not to nitpick — how do I put this tactfully? — what a complete crock of crap.

Rumor is her main problem is dysphagia.
I think Harvey Weinstein started that one.
A few years ago someone developed a website called Hollywood Idiots. This story reminded me of that old site. 😂
Well to be fair, I’ve never met a stupid person that admits that they are stupid. I’d be amazed at her, if she would have bucked the trend.
“Send them to Zimbabwe...”
Now that is an excellent idea. Or how about Somalia or some other godforsaken Muslim nation? Let the UN build a new building on some prime real estate where it’s 120 degrees in the shade and the mosquitoes and monkeys carry fatal diseases.
Old libtard hags never put the brain in gear before running their big mouths 🤪
Russia is a permanent founding member of the UN, so her statement would still be stupid.
Well, if she’s dyslexic, why didn’t she demand Russia be kicked out of NU?
I bet that elfin slab of mattress meat can’t even balance her checkbook without spotting her a couple of decimal points.
Hmm...I suppose if your dyslexia is bad enough, you might write an entire book and not even know it.
