I quite agree with jimmyt about it being futile to work ourselves up into a fury about these kinds of things and people. Getting in a temper just blunts the edge of justifiable anger, and reduces outr ability to direct it effectively.

The actual character actors who strut around on the public stage aren't in themselves all that important. If they weren't there, someone essentially similar would be in their place, and if they were lives had led them in a different way, so that they were private acquaintances rather than public figures, I doubt very much if we'd think of them as anything special, definitely not special enough to hate.
