NY Post Columnist Calls Bette Midler "Illiterate Bigot"

NY Post Columnist Andrea Peyser writes

"Bette Midler ought to try reading a book. To the uninitiated, books are these things made of paper that have words printed on them. Hard words, not just pictures. Stuff that illiterates — some of whom live in lazy, superior, effete, privileged Tinseltown — might hire underlings to decipher for them."

"She needs to go home and hit the books. Right now"

Andrea Peyser, the New York Post columnist who once called Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin a “gorgeous and furious internet cuckold” and suggested President Barack Obama is a closeted homosexual (or as she put it, “a man as comfortable in the company of women as Tom Cruise”) made headlines Sunday when she tapped “out” of Team Trump.

“In my heart, I wanted the smack-talking, hair-challenged, self-absorbed New York City billionaire Republican to nail down this baby,” Peyser wrote. “But in my head? Not so much.”

That’s right, the woman who once referred to CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour as a “CNN war slut” has finally had too much of the bloviating, hate-filled rhetoric coming out of Trump.

“Some of us smitten with his shoot-from-the-lip style have reached our limits,” Peyser wrote in her column, later adding, “Trump won’t back down from his lunacy and bigotry.” The final straw for the Post columnist? His recent fight with a Gold Star family.

Trump’s lunacy and bigotry were evident from the onset of his campaign, but apparently all the sexist, racist, xenophobic, “ban all Muslims,” “build a wall” nonsense that preceded his fight with the Khan family wasn’t enough to sway Peyser. That’s the thing about final straws — you’re left to assume everything that came before was tolerable.

For fuck sake, Trump called Jeff Sessions a "dumb southerner" and mocked his accent - and he's actually accomplished. Imagine what Trump has to say about the avg hick moron who worships him; that alone makes them stupid as hell. And they have no self-respect or dignity while we're at it - if they are Republicans.

They don't even live in reality. They vote based on their delusions of who they are and their bigotry/racism. They're pathetic. No fucking $ and they have the nerve to vote Republican because they're poor, provincial, racist trash who want to be treated better based on their epidermis alone. Trump laughs at them and says far worse than Midler, I can assure you. And he's the actual elitist. Spare me the Hollywood elitist crap when Trump voters worship someone who wants to be a Hollywood elitist far more than be president.

As a NYer, it's fucking laughable these provincial hick morons listen to FOX telling them to be scared of these people or those people, meanwhile, News Corp is located in one of the most diverse places on earth.

It's easy enough to separate when viewing their past work, but I'm not so sure I can do it now. If the whole country were like California, West Side Story and In the Heights would make a gazillion dollars at the box office.

No one respects the south. And frankly, why should anyone when most are uneducated trash holding onto a past of which any normal person would be ashamed. And to top it off: No fucking $ and dependent on people like Midler and "Hollywood elites" for their survival, yet the audacity to vote for the party that is the reason they don't have money and to claim they are "conservative" and bitching about liberals with their hands outs. And embracing anti-democratic legislation so that everyone can't vote. there is nothing to respect about people who reject the very concept of democracy. They gravitated to a fucking ELITIST who thinks they're dumb hicks solely because he was racist and bigoted trash like them.
