Rich Malibu Liberal Bravely Compliments Rich Hollywood Liberal
For actress Meryl Streep, the goal of every awards show appearance is to get everyone talking about Meryl Streep. So at last night’s Golden Globes — the corrupt, swarthier cousin of the Oscars — Streep delivered a WASPy rebuke to President-elect Donald Trump.
Being a male and thus, a football fan, I didn’t watch the event, but I assume The Donald hired dingos to kill her baby or some such. No matter, the left and right took their assigned positions to 1) praise her great courage, or 2) yell “this is why Trump won!”
But Streep’s dull condemnation was just an excuse for other coastal hangers-on to shine reflected light upon themselves. One of the silliest overreactions came from Malibu New Age guru Marianne Williamson.
Once she built an empire on spirituality-without-sacrifice pabulum, WIlliamson focused herself on more earthly affairs. In 2014, she tried to replace retiring Rep. Henry Waxman, a gentleman most famous for receiving the world’s first nostril enhancement surgery.
Williamson spent wildly on the race, thanks to generous contributions from friends such as Kim Kardashian and Katy Perry. Famous-for-something Nicole Richie also donated “because the children of America are our future, and we need to make sure that we are not only living up to our past, but taking it even further.” Voters didn’t agree, perhaps because they didn’t understand what the hell she was talking about. Williamson dumped $2 million on her primary bid but only came in fourth place, the ultimate winner being Ted Lieu who spent a quarter of that total.
After supporting Bernie Sanders in 2016, Sunday night, Williamson turned her keen political instincts to applaud the new Leader of the Opposition, Meryl Streep:
Per Williamson, Streep’s Golden Globes acceptance will be listed in school textbooks aside “I Have a Dream,” “Tear Down This Wall,” and the Gettysburg Address. And the best news for Streep? None of those speeches mentioned mixed martial arts.
Published in General
FIFY
From now on, I suggest we call this sort of thing ‘getting Streep Throat.’
“Looks like Marianne’s got a case of Streep Throat again!”
Now that sure doesn’t seem crazy, nope not in any way.
Nothing that some hot Ginger tea won’t cure, little buddy.
I wonder if the rich Malibu-ites (Malu-binians?) will let other, perhaps less Oscar-endowed actors speak into the microphone about the things they believe, or, rather, are they only primed to applaud loudly when one of their own says something they agree with.
It’s a rhetorical question, as I already know the answer. These are the same chowderheads who tear up at Michelle Obama giving “speeches” about how her transition away from the White House will be some kind of emotional armageddon that the nation will take years to heal for her, thanks to her husband’s inability to pass his own legislative agenda by farming it out to Congressional leeches named Reid and Pelosi.
But perhaps I give Michelle more credit than someone who got a “job” at a “university” that didn’t “fill her position” when she “left” to be disappointed in America until it voted in what passes for the “man” in her “life”.
Wait. We’re talking about Merylylyl?

Have an important question; who is Marianne Williamson? She is of course, insane, but who is she? Have I fallen off the edge of the world?
I think the word you are searching for Chris, is Maliboobians.
Being a woman, I went shopping during the ball game thing, but when I came back (to Malibu, actually), there was Ms. Streep on TV, barely controlling her emotions as she regarded herself and her people with awe. Many of those gathered to honor each other with awards and undeserved praise looked as if they might burst, leaving greasy chunks of overweaning pride littered about the floor. Maybe I shouldn’t be gross….#sorrynotsorry
The funny part that is that Rep. Jason Chafetz who is the Republican now leading the committee that The Nostril led for so many years, and who said that he learned a lot from watching Mr. Waxman, also has relatively prominent nostrils.
The adulation wasn’t unanimous, at least:

Chafetz looks like the Grinch, so maybe we shouldn’t trade personal appearance insults.
You have now entered the Malibu Nebula.
Last I checked the reporter does not have a spasticity of his extremities. So Streep, like nearly the entirety of the media, is lying. Heroically lying. Bravely lying. Or deluded. Or stupid.
I don’t think you can rule out all three.
Can’t help but notice the conservatives were seated next to one another – presumably so the folks in charge could keep a close eye on them in case of trouble.
Nobody cares what another Hollywood Meat Puppet “thinks”.
No.Body.
They finally managed to clean up all the smug from George Clooney’s 2006 Oscar speech, and then this happens!
Children’s Memorial in Chicago was apparently paying her 350k a year to fill an unnessasary job. That’s a lot of donations stolen.
Mr. Ed: I laughed out loud when I read this. However, you will be hearing from my attorney, E. Hobart Calhoun, Esq. Though quite amusing, your comment veers dangerously close to my description of Waxman’s “flared nares” in the classic OPERATION DRIBBLE. Mr. Calhoun says we are suing for billions–that’s with a “B” a la Carl Sagan. Process server should be at your door shortly.
Since the left’s hysteria is certainly helping the right, I have a bit of an objection to our side explaining it to them. The first rule when you’re in a hole is to stop digging, but the first rule when your opponent is in a hole is don’t tell them to stop digging! Still, the lefties will never listen to us, so it probably doesn’t matter. And there will be no shortage of televised “award shows,” where these privileged, self-entitled Hollywood leftists will congratulate themselves with “awards,” and lecture the rest of us about our stupidity, racism, and poor choices in entertainment. After all, what kind of a slavering moron would watch a football game when they could be watching The Devil Wears Prada or Death Becomes Her?
Will Streep finally be the head lemming to lead her Hollywood syncophants over the cliff or better yet over the Canadian border? What sweet relief it would be if Hollywood just packed up and moved to Vancouver.
Wow. Whatever Ms. Ritchie said, she really said it all.
Forward the past!
So keep this to yourselves, because the little secret I’m about to tell you led to about three or four days of rage in Portland, Oregon right after the election. Ms. Streep will hopefully wake up one morning and discover this secret on her own.
There are people in this country, and it’s a big country that don’t have any desire to be ruled, much less governed by the citizens of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Boston, Fortress Vermont, Miami, or Pima County for that matter.
Amy Adams looked like she had been hypnotized- creepy…
Such drivel!
“Whatever actions”?? Like, if someone is led to start a riot and burn down LA? Like, if someone decides to beat anyone they meet who they believe is a Trump supporter? Like, if someone decides to kidnap a mentally challenged man and hold him captive (while beating and humiliating him), and then broadcasting the episode on social media? Ms. Williamson would support “whatever actions” someone is “led to take”? What a complete self-absorbed, moronic, myopic, clueless West Coast liberal. The absence of any glimmer of intelligence in her statement is simply stunning!
Golly, what did Vancouver ever do to you?
Oh yeah. And Polanski didn’t just rape the child. He sodomized her, he was disgusted she wasn’t on birth control and didn’t want to get her pregnant.
Hey Miss Steep, Miss Williamson, next year can I get just a minute to jump on stage at the Golden Globes and be “brave“. I’m not a celebrity or anything, just an ordinary Joe, but I want to to spout off too. Oh, and, shoot across Hollywood’s bow. Since you’re so braaave, may be you’ll give me this chance. What do you say?
Yours truly, a knuckle dragging, mouth-breathing football watcher.

How nice for Meryl Streep that her speech will be remembered alongside the addresses of great Republicans.
