Hail to American Patrioticism--"Who is smarter?"
Here is Osborne placing her argument on educational background. Usually when you call people "idiots" or "morons", it does not refer to the fact that they are high school dropouts, it simply means that you do not agree with their opinion. Intelligence does not come with impressive listings of Ivy League schools on your CV, and certainly anybody, including postgraduates can misjudge and do silly things. Movie stars being public figures have this illusion that they need to stand up and say something. One, maybe to prove that apart from being sheer gossip or posing in front of fashion magazines, their brains can actually function. Two, any public display can be political. If that's the case, bless them, so be it. Afterall, it isn't the first time for show biz to be involved with the government. However, one thing is made abundantly clear, when Jessica Lange told the crowd in Spain that she is embarrassed to be an American, it indicates that other than the States, many places on the planet don't agree with their attitude. On European soil, the smart Lange maybe made this remark to suit the Spanish appetite. When a nation thinks, "We must make certain that those who would destroy us are made aware of the severe consequences that will befall them", something is seriously going wrong--and has nothing to do with being smart.
