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.
According to Dyslexia: Beyond the Myth,

I listen to the Ricky Gervais monologue every could of months. Its just fantastic. He lectures those dummies about how morally depraved and stupid they are, and they just sit there looking uncomfortable and taking it. While everyone at home is laughing their asses off.
She meant UN.
That’s her explanation.
Being dyslexic is no justification for being a complete liberal, Hollywood moron with a big mouth.
That should be good for about 1.5 AOC Units of Stupidity.
If she meant UN, she could have simply said so.......but noooo, she had to prove that her mistake wasn’t really her fault.
Stick to cleavage and boldly confess what you don’t know? The public warmly embraces those who don’t know most things. It brings trust and respect. We know our limits and boundaries. Now if you insist on outing yourself as a complete idiot who wants to lecture the public........well that’s your career funeral.
How does a “dyslexic” person get NATO out of UN ?
“If she meant UN, she could have simply said so.......but noooo, she had to prove that her mistake wasn’t really her fault.”
I know. She couldn’t even say that right.
Charley Weaver’s granddaughter.
If she meant UN, wouldn’t she have written NU?
Re they just sat there:
They’re too stupid to realize the contempt he was showing them. It was beautiful.
Her and her siblings are nuts.
If you are ever attacked by a horde of dyslexic zombies make sure you have plenty of guys named Brian in your group.
Most of us do that all the time. Sometimes I even confuse it with the Piggly Wiggly.
She’s a retard who hates the America who made her rich. Fat old pig. White Whoppi Goldberg
To quote Homer Simpson; “celebrities, is there anything they don’t know?”
There should be an IQ test to vote.
apparently it makes you add letters to words..or some such thing
You phunny!
