Robert Redford Defines Hollywood Irrationality
In an interview in Ireland where he was to be honored, actor/director Robert Redford explains, inadvertently, why Hollywood types who’ve spent a lifetime honing their talent for fantasy and make-believe, have no business offering serious criticisms of reality.
Asked by Michael Dwyer, film correspondent of The Irish Times , if he was looking forward to “regime change” in the US, Redford said: “Yes. Where my country is at the moment, I’m not confident of anything. I’m hopeful.
“I think Obama is not tall on experience . . . but I believe he’s a really good person. He’s smart. And he does represent what the country needs most now, which is change.
“I hope he’ll win. I think he will. If he doesn’t, you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye.
“He’s not tall on experience (but) he’s a good person and he’s smart.”
Helluva a reason to select someone to be the head of the largest, and arguably the most important and complex organization in the world, the US government… never mind the leader of the free world. And once again, no hint of what specifics are entailed in “Change.” Just, apparently, change itself.
No experience, but he’s a good person. Heaven help us!
