If You Don't Want to Hear it From Me, then How About the Original Hawkeye Pierce?

Those goddamn Canadians have a way with big words, don't they? Just because they have a better vocabulary than we do, doesn't mean they're smarter.

Oh, wait: Sometimes it does. See, e.g., Donald Sutherland's scathing attack on Hillary Clinton:

Haven't we had enough of Mrs. Clinton's mad antics in her pursuit of the realization of venal personal ambition; her 'say anything, do anything, no matter what' effort to manipulate our all too willing media to gull this country's populace into believing that her wretched illegitimacy is indeed legitimate. How much mendacity do we have to suffer, how much brazenness do we have to swallow before someone, anyone, has the decency, the common sense, to relieve us of this terrible trifle, this pathetic madness?

It's an even more effective screed if you can hear, in your mind, Sutherland delivering it. But don't worry, Donald. It'll all be over this time next week.
