That’s exactly what it is. Meryl Streep, who has probably never set foot on a working farm, was regarded as some kind of expert [note: again, by leftists] because she made some vaguely farm-related movie. Bill Nye has played a scientist on TV, and is now regarded as a scientific expert by leftists who know noting about science at all.
The guy read off a freakin’ teleprompter!
Then I must be a real broadly-based expert on all things, based on what I dream while asleep.
