Hollywood Thought Pundits

Have you seen the ancient actor Dick Van Dyke, he of the Disney Mary Poppins movie and a 60s television show famous for his opening staged tumble over an ottoman, emerge as a political pundit? Even he remarks that he falls down a lot…..on purpose. Well, he’s at it again. The formerly likable character has decided to take his anti-Trump rant to Instagram, railing against the Supreme Court for not decisively ruling against the former president in a timely enough fashion, suggesting that they are greasing the path for him to return to the Oval Office. With age should come wisdom, but Mr. Van Dyke has chosen to tarnish his likability with a deep dive into partisan politics, and he doesn’t wear it well. Stick to what you know, sir, and like the rest of Hollywood, stop using your platform to spew vitriol against your political opposition. Yeah, I’m talking to you, Bobby De Niro.
