Washington,
(ANI):
Jessica
Alba
took
to
her
blog
to
defend
herself
after
right-wing
TV
news
pundit
Bill
O'Reilly
suggested
that
the
actress
was
“dumb".
The
Sin
City
star
used
her
MySpace.com
blog
to
defend
herself
after
O''Reilly
called
her
"misguided" for
poking
fun
at
a
journalist
during
an
inauguration
event
last
week,
reports
Us
magazine.
The
new
mum
asked
the
reporter
what
he
liked
most
about
new
U.S.
President
Barack
Obama,
and
when
he
refused
to
answer,
she
joked,
"That's
it,
be
neutral.
Be
Sweden
about
it." Following
the
comment,
TMZ.com
called
her
a
"ditz"
and
an
"arrogant
buffoon"
for
saying
Sweden
instead
of
Switzerland
when
referring
to
the
neutral
country
during
WWII.
O'Reilly
whom
Alba
had
called
an
"a-hole"
at
the
same
event
also
called
her
"misguided"
for
mixing
up
the
countries.
But
on
her
blog,
Alba
writes,
"I
find
it
depressing
that,
in
the
midst
of
perhaps
the
most
salient
time
in
our
country's
history,
individuals
are
taking
it
upon
themselves
to
encourage
negativity
and
stupidity.
"Last
week,
Mr.
Bill
O'Reilly
and
some
really
classy
sites
(i.e.
TMZ)
insinuated
I
was
dumb
by
claiming
Sweden
was
a
neutral
country.
"I
appreciate
the
fact
that
he
is
a
news
anchor
and
that
gossip
sites
are
inundated
with
intelligent
reporting,
but
seriously
people...
it's
so
sad
to
me
that
you
think
the
only
neutral
country
during
WWII
was
Switzerland."
She
then
linked
to
a
wikipedia
article
to
prove
Sweden
was
also
a
neutral
country.
Added
Alba,
"I
appreciate
the
name
calling
and
the
accurate
reporting.
Keep
it
up!!"
