IT’S GREAT to see a political dolt and flunky like Meryl Streep put in her place.

Streep attacked Donald Trump at the Golden Globe Awards, criticizing him for his mocking of a disabled reporter. I previously criticized him for this too, but Trump has adequately defended himself, and his critics have repeatedly outdone or matched him in any insensitivity he could have displayed. Trump, greatly to his credit, refused to be bullied by Streep. He wrote on Twitter:

Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn’t know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a… Hillary flunky who lost big. For the 100th time, I never “mocked” a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him.. “groveling” when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad. Just more very dishonest media!

This kind of response to a Hollywood celebrity is virtually unknown in American politics. See Kellyanne Conway’s terrific response to Streep.

Expect to see much more Hollywood Hysteria. Celebrities have lost some of their power and they know it. Narcissists who are out of touch with the world beyond their careers should have no platform to lecture the public on political affairs. Streep is beautiful and talented, but she is an airhead.

I’ll politely disagree with on Ms. Streep.

As a 53-year-old man, I can assure you that at no time in her career has Ms. Streep ever been beautiful. Attractive? Yes. Provocative? Yes. But she has never been a conventional beauty.

In fact, her “swing, and-a-miss” looks have contributed to her success, I’ll wager.

As she has aged, she has really excelled in stern authority roles as a Thankless Leader. I suspect that she has finally stopped acting.

You’re right. She’s not a conventional beauty.
