Stupid Quote of the Week

There is no shortage of material, to be sure. I'm going to try to do this once a week, and I'll try to be fair and lampoon the stupidity of both sides. If Trump says something grossly stupid during the preceding week that beats everybody else out, I'll put it up. Ditto for Congresspeople, Senators, celebrities, or just about anybody with some sort of notoriety. They're all fair game. If I can't decide between 2 quotes, I'll declare a tie and post them both.

This weeks winner is:

Rosanna Arquette (Famous Hollywood actress)

The "Pulp Fiction" actress, 59, took to Twitter Wednesday to talk about her race and upbringing, tweeting, "I’m sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me."    "And I feel so much shame."

Wow. Jesus H. Chrysler, how stupid is that combination of words? WTF, over? She wishes she was born poor and another color? Is this some sort of new racial twist where you slam yourself for something beyond your own control? You're disgusted with yourself for your skin color, something you had no say in whatsoever?

Rosanna dear, there are lotteries in life and winning is generally accepted as a good thing. You've already won more than your share of them. First, being born at all makes you a lottery winner. Being born in America was the second lottery you won. And you capped it by winning the trifecta of lotteries with fame and fortune in Sodom and Gomor, er, Hollywood. All in all, not bad work. Most folks would love to have your success in life and would even take the shame of having white skin if that's what comes with the deal.

Thanks for telling us just how raw stupid you are. I'm going to go out on a limb here and ask you if there is anything else you're ashamed of, like your good looks, large bank account, nice house ... maybe your Jewish mother (if AOC, Ilhan Omar and Rashida can get away with anti-semitic language, so can you). Come clean, Rosanna. As long as you're in the confessional, let's hear it all.

You can do something about it. First, sell everything you own. Next, let yourself go. Become slovenly. Eat 2 cheese pizzas a day and top it off with a gallon of ice cream; that ought to take care of that svelte body in no time. Give away the rest of your money to underprivileged people. Then start walking the streets. In no time, that shame will leave you. You'll be cured quickly.

Good luck, Rosanna. That tweet won this weeks competition, and with Bernie, Kamala, Beto, Joe (and others) nipping at your heels this week, let me be the first to congratulate you on winning.

Please don't say you're ashamed of that too. It would hurt my feelings, and we both know how sensitive I am. Okay, be ashamed, but not disgusted. I can live with that.
