I like Brad Pitt and was pretty disappointed with his dig at the impeachment hoax. The great Humphrey Bogart said it best (or at least it’s been attributed to him): “An actor’s job is to act. If you have a message, go to Western Union.”

Not Humphrey Bogart

“Movie producer Samuel Goldwyn (1904-1961) has been credited with “From Western Union you get messages. From me you get pictures” in 1940 and “Just write me the comedy. Messages are for Western Union” in 1943. The playwright Moss Hart (1904-1961) was credited in 1953 with saying, “If you’ve got a message, call Western Union.” Western Union used to deliver telegram messages, and the saying is also often given as “If you have a message, send a telegram.”
