'Electing Barack Obama Was This Country Being Very Grown-Up'

What is it with these foreign actors sticking their beaks into American politics and insulting people? Yesterday we noted the British bimbette Kate Beckinsale insulting George W. Bush. Today's idiot is Simon Baker of the television show The Mentalist who so graciously notes he doesn't want to be offensive before he offends us.

"I don't follow sports here. But politics has sort of taken its place. I followed the [presidential] race closely. It's a tricky area, because I don't want to be offensive, and I had no party loyalty. But electing Barack Obama was this country being very grown-up. It was such a positive step for the US to become a part of the world again."

You fit right in with the rest of the Hollywood dimwits, Simon.
