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.

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,

[Among the] common myths about dyslexia are that dyslexics read backward and reverse words and letters. While these characteristics may be part of the problem with some individuals, they are NOT the most common or most important attributes.

Ricky said it best, Hollywood: “You are in no position to lecture the public about anything.” Let alone to call for kicking a country out of NATO that — oh, never mind.
