That incident with the disabled NYT reporter has been haunting me since I first saw it. I am so glad that Meryl Streep called Trump out on it. He and his supporters can make all the lame, transparent excuses they want, but that moment is crucial in showing Trump's character. And it's a character that is not fit for the office he is about to assume.

To those who object to a celebrity making political statements, I say why not? She wasn't trying to expound on arcane policy matters demanding great expertise. The speech was about basic decency and freedom. How is it harmful for an American to speak to those issues, whether the platform be large or small?

I think it's very important for people to keep pointing out when the emperor has no clothes. If they have a large audience, so much the better.
