The biggest thing they just don't GET???? They are dumb-fuck ACTORS. They RECITE LINES that other people WROTE. They do not have the collective brain power of a jar of flies. They barely know their lines, let alone politics and foreign affairs. NO WONDER AMERICA RESENTS THEIR INTRUSIONS. Since when do I, or any other American, need to get our political bearings from a bunch of pampered, manicured, brain-dead poodles who bark on command? (BTW, I think Lassie was a Republican.....)
Their egos are so huge they just can't believe that no one cares what they think. And any way. I've never understood what was so difficult about being a movie actor. You can have retakes, a few lines a day to memorize, people waiting on you hand and foot, etc. It certainly doesn't qualify you to make judgements on complex legal and/or military decisions. I don't know any one who takes these people seriously.
