One thing is that people are stupid enough to gobble up that bullshit, but how can a respected actor like Samuel or Clint for that matter do these pedantic things? I am very disappoint.

What you're basically saying is that she ought to feel embarrassed that certain people in her country are clueless.

Ie. pretty much the same thing Americans on this forum are protesting in saying "stop generalizing us, just because you found an example of a moron doesn't prove anything about the rest".

Politics is like sports or entertainment news for a big segment of the population. They need the daily soap opera drama for easy news stories, a built-in audience, and the mistaken belief that something actually might happen or any of it really matters.

Sure, there's the lofty ideal that politics is so above mere entertainment like sports and movie stars, but the reality is that the daily pissing and moaning that goes on before an election is no different from, and has no real impact like, the pissing and moaning over some midfielder's ankle injury or Shakira's latest two-headed baby rumor.

Or the pissing and moaning in the Transfer section during the off season.
